I live in Hong Kong and we do not need to ask Tibet travel agency to apply Tibet Entry Permit and employ a guide. Sorry that I do not have any recommendations on travel agency. One important issue you have to notice is that most guides and travel agencies are not specialist in photography. They can plan a great trip in terms of culture and religion. They may know the hot spots for photos, but they don't know the right timing. So first of all, you have to familiar with the locations, photo spots, accommodations and estimate the timing for photo by yourself. This is the most time consuming part in which I have spent almost one year before my first trip to Tibet. You need to search internet for travel notes, read books like Lonely Planet, and if you like trekking, read "Trekking Tibet" written by Gary McCue is a must. At the same time, it is better that you look for partners that can go with you and search for travel agency / guides Once you are familiar with the above aspects and have knowledge to plan the itinerary, confirm with your guide / travel agency whether your itinerary is feasible or not. There may be some limitations on the accommodations that will affect the itinerary. There are also strict speed limits in Tibet, don't expect the car can run fast just like on the highway, which means limit the travel distance each day. You have to confirm with the guide / travel agency about sunrise, sunset, and/ or even night photo locations, and ask the guide / travel agency to make sure they can satisfy your request, as some Tibetan drivers are not willing to work at nightime

Thanks for comment

I used Sony Alpha before 2013 and NEX for the early-2013 trip only. One of the reason that I dropped Sony was at that time, Fuji-x was the only light weight AF system that offer great colour and lens quality I went there mainly for landscape photography. The itinerary will be totally different if the trip is for culture and religion

16 should be more suitable for night shots & indoor shots in travels, but 10-24 will be more capable when new generation body like XPro2 comes out when better high ISO performance
