The Budget Plan for My Dream Tibet Vacation

Below are some approximations based on rates that I looked up online, some data recorded inside other's travel notes as well as I received while speaking with a representative from travel companies. 

• Flight Cost Round Trip For Myself (Toronto~Beijing) : $1175
• Flight Cost One Way Trip From Lhasa To Beijing Per Person :$475*3=$1425
• Train Cost One Way Trip From Beijing to Lhasa Per Person: $210*3=$630
• Accommodations: 

Shangri-La Hotel, Lhasa.

We will choose a standard room and add a bed because we are three people.

The price of per standard room per day in Shangri-La Hotel : CNY 1530+345=1875, which is equivalent to $312 per day. We would live in Lhasa for 5 nights. 312*5=$1560

• Transportation fees: (includes taxi fees and bus fees) $100
• food: $20 per day per person will be more than enough to cover food and drinks as food is much cheaper in Tibet. 20*3*13=$780. 
• Tourist Attraction prices : much of the things we are going to see do not cost anything and even some are for free. I will dedicate around $200 person which is more than enough to cover this. $100*3=$300
• Miscellaneous and Souvenirs: I think we must would buy many souvenirs and I will dedicate $100 per person for the whole trip. $100*3=$300.
• Tent in Everest Base Camp : $120 for just one night. 
• Accommodation in Nyingchi (just simple inn) : $80*3=$240. 

Total: $6830 the whole trip. 

Reflection: So far, the basic preparations have been all over. Then we will depart for the dream vacation. Pure blue sky, splendid mountains and lakes, honest and sturdy local customs, mysterious and devout religious beliefs and graceful exotic, that is Tibet what I love. Tibet here we come! :)
