Dear Miss Ch***,
Greetings from Nancy at Budget Tibet Tour, thanks for visiting our website and sending your inquiry. Please worry free as you will arrive in Tibet on 8th or 9th Oct and leave on 24th Oct there would be 17days, which would be quite enough for the group tour. And also if you confirm it early, we are no problem to set the group tour departure date on 8th or 9th Oct as you want. Since you will have enough time, you will not miss Everest neither Kailash trekking. Oct is quite good for Tibet tour as clear weather and less people. And you will have more chance to have the view of the summit of Everest. I will send you the tour details to your email, please check it there. Best regards.
