About Windhorse Tour
Windhorse Tour is a Chinese inbound travel agency headquartered in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan, founded in 2007 by its general manager Helen Wang, who had been operating tours in Tibet for years beforehand. It trades as a licensed branch of Chengdu Friendship International Travel Service under inbound operator licence L-SC-A-00089, with its main office in Chengdu and a dedicated operations office in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital.
It specialises in private, tailor-made tours for international travellers across China and Tibet: classic routes through Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai, journeys through Sichuan — including Chengdu's pandas — Yunnan, Guizhou, Xinjiang and the Silk Road, and above all Tibetan expeditions handling the special permits the region requires, Qinghai–Tibet railway journeys, the Sichuan–Tibet G318 overland route and trips to Everest Base Camp. Its programmes are led by local English-speaking guides, including Tibetan guides.
The agency sells directly in English through its official website, with travel advisors designing each itinerary one-to-one, and holds hundreds of customer reviews on international platforms plus a Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice award. Its positioning is that of the small, specialised local operator: small groups, flexible pacing and first-hand knowledge of western China.
