How to Get the Tibet Travel Permit?
The Tibet Travel Permit is the most important document you will need to enter Tibet. It can not be obtained through individual application. But no worries! As the leading Tibet tour operator with years of experiences, we can help arrange your Tibet Travel Permit in a smooth and simple way.
Once you have booked your Tibet tour with us, we will take care of the permit application on your behalf. All we need are the scanned copies of your passport and Chinese Visa. The approval process usually takes about 8 to 9 working days. Once approved, we will forward the permit to your hotel in mainland China, ready for your trip to Tibet.How to get to Tibet? By train or flight?
You can get to Tibet mainly by flying from mainland China or Nepal, or by taking a train from one of seven gateway stations across mainland China.
Flights are generally the fastest way to get to Tibet, and there are more than two dozen airports across mainland China that have direct flights to the Lhasa Gonggar International Airport. Alternatively, you can fly into Lhasa from Kathmandu in Nepal, the only country with international access to the TAR. However, the flights are rather costly, and not affordable for everyone.
The cheaper option, and also the scenic one, is to take one of the seven Tibet trains from mainland China to Lhasa, which depart daily or every other day from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Lanzhou, and Xining. The trains can take from 21 to 53 hours to reach Lhasa, but are much cheaper than flights, and you get to see the stunning landscapes of northern Tibet, something people that fly to Lhasa never get to admire.
It’s best to book your train or flight in advance to secure a better seat and price, especially during Tibet’s peak travel season from April to October. We’re happy to help with your flight or train booking to make sure you get the transportation you want on your preferred travel dates.
When is the best time to visit Tibet?
Tibet can be visited throughout the year, while the best time is from April to October. During this period, the weather is mostly mild, with clear skies and breathtaking views.
Spring (April to June) brings warmer temperatures, blooming landscapes and relatively fewer crowds. Summer (July to August) is the busiest season, offering vibrant scenery, warm and humid weather, and the chance to experience traditional Tibetan festivals.
Autumn (September to October) is ideal for trekking and photography, thanks to the crisp air and stunning mountain views, including Mount Everest. While the winters are cold in Tibet, they are not as bad as you may imagine. The region remains beautiful, with a tranquil atmosphere and a brilliant snow landscape, making it a great time for budget travelers.
Will I suffer from altitude sickness when touring Tibet?
Simply put, yes, you will likely experience some effects of altitude sickness when you first arrive in Tibet. However, with a couple of days of acclimatization in Lhasa, these symptoms usually fade as your body naturally adjusts to the higher altitude.
Getting plenty of rest, maintaining a good diet, staying properly hydrated, and avoiding strenuous exercise can help you recover faster and more comfortably.
May I book a hotel by myself if I join in the group tour?
Yes, you can book your own hotels for your group tour of Tibet, but it is not always advisable to do so. In order to book your own hotels, you would generally need to speak Chinese and have a Chinese-approved means of payment.
And this would only work in the larger cities of Lhasa and Shigatse. Outside those, it is much harder to book accommodation yourself as contact may be limited.
The best option is to let us know your preferences, and allow us to book your hotels or guesthouses for you, as part of our excellent service.
Should I join in a small group tour as a solo traveler to Tibet?
Unless you fancy paying for every aspect of your tour in Tibet, it is advisable to join a group tour when traveling to Tibet as a solo traveler. And the lower cost is not the only reason to join a group tour of Tibet. There are many other advantages as well.
Primarily, you will generally pay a lot less, as many of the more expensive aspects of the tour are shared with the other members of the party, such as the cost of the guide, driver, and vehicle.
It is also a good way to make new friends when traveling, and many of our solo travelers on group tours meet new people that become friends long after the tour is over. You can also benefit from having other people to travel with, as well as it being a lot safer for solo travelers, especially women.
And we guarantee our excellent services throughout the tour, with limited tour sizes, professional tour guides, and guaranteed departure dates, no matter how many there are in the group.
You can also contact us with our Wechat.
