Travelling in China - From Beijing to Tibet

How Do We Work?

China Travel Plan specialises in pre-booked, independent travel. You can build your own itinerary using a combination of our short China and Tibet trips (modules). We’ve travelled far and wide in China and Tibet and created our modules using some of our most memorable experiences. You can pick and choose the mini-adventures that appeal to you most, from buddhist monasteries to national parks to towering karst mountains. We've chosen as many small-scale hotels and family guesthouses as possible, in order to give you an authentic China experience. We'll also string the modules together by arranging your local transport in China and Tibet.

If you've never travelled to China or Tibet before, or need some help getting started, then take a look at our holidays in China. Here, we’ve combined a number of our modules in a logical order to create longer and more complete China holidays. However, modifications are still possible to these itineraries, for example a day less here, a day longer there etc. Once again, you're in charge.

Step 2: Your Personalised Quote

Once we've received your enquiry, we'll put together a personalised quote just for you, using the modules or itinerary you selected. We’ll link your modules together using our local knowledge. In China and Tibet, modules are normally linked together by train or internal flights. For shorter distances we can also offer private transfers.

Your personalised itinerary will contain further details on the module or itinerary you selected as well as a quote for international flights. Of course, we'll also include any personal reccommendations we think would help you get the most out of your time in China and Tibet.

If you decide that you'd like to tweak your itinerary, just let your travel specialist know and we'll make the necessary changes so that your itnerary is just right.

Step 3: Book your Trip

When you're ready to book your trip, just complete our online booking form with all your details. You can then give us a call on 01273 322048 so we can collect your deposit for the land arrangements and full payment for any international flights if you're booking them through us.

Our deposit system for your land arrangements is based on your departure date and works as follows:

Departure in 3 calendar months or more: 25% deposit

Once we've received everything we need, we'll send your booking off to our local office to get confirmed, leaving you time to sit back and relax while we do the hard work for you!

Step 4: Your Trip in China

After you’ve booked your trip, we’ll email you a package of travel documents, including full accommodation details and information about our local offices in China and Tibet.
