Client Reviews

*Highly Recommend Magic Expedition Tours*

I went on this  Tour with my colleagues. We had an amazing time on the Lasha tour  with our guide. we went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time possible. We found their website very helpful and decided to know more about it by mail. We booked this tour and it was worth it. The pricing is also fair. They were really active and informative. They really took great care of us and helped us to succeed in our tour. It was really adventurous and thrilling. The panorama view of the mountain was breathtaking. We were lost in the natural beauty of Tibet. We are hoping to do our next trek with Magic Expedition and tours. The entire journey of our trek was so amazing. All thanks to Magic Expedition and tours. Definitely recommended!!!!
