China Tibet Travel FAQs - Plan Your China Tibet Trip Worry-Free
![china tour to tibet faq](https://www.asiaodysseytravel.com/image/icon/icons5.png)
Good News! The wait is finally over - Gyirong Port (China Nepal Border) is open to tourism and ready to welcome you with open arms, in 2023. Currently, the Gyirong Port is used for tourism, while the Zhangmu Port is primarily used for freight (not for tourists).
The average elevation of the region is over 4,000 meters and altitude sickness is a common concern for travelers visiting Tibet. Not everybody will suffer from altitude sickness when traveling in Tibet and most visitors will be in good condition when they arrive.
The symptoms of altitude sickness can include headache, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath. It is important to allow time to acclimate to the high altitude and to take precautions to prevent altitude sickness. Travelers should drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol and caffeine, and eat light meals that are high in carbohydrates. It is also recommended to take it easy for the first few days, avoiding strenuous activities and allowing time to adjust to the new altitude when arrive in Lhasa. Some travelers may also benefit from taking medication to prevent or treat altitude sickness.
If symptoms of altitude sickness persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention immediately . Many hotels and travel agencies in Tibet have oxygen supplies on hand to help alleviate the symptoms of altitude sickness. It is important to consult with a doctor before traveling to Tibet, especially if you have a history of heart or lung problems, high blood pressure, or other medical conditions that may be affected by high altitude.
For a classic exploration from Lhasa to Mount Everest Base Camp , it is highly recommended to take our 8 Days Lhasa - Yamdrok Lake - Shigatse - Mount Everest - Lhasa tour .
Besides, if you plan to trek to the base camp, you will need to allow at least a few days for acclimatization before starting the trek. The trekking can take 4-5 days, depending on your pace and the route you take.
If you plan to visit other attractions in Tibet, such as Lhasa, Yamdrok Lake, Shigatse, or Mount Kailash, you will need to allow additional time, which may take around 8 to 15 days. The number of days required to visit Tibet Mount Everest depends on the route you take and the activities you plan to do. Please remember, all the tours can be customized to suit your preferences and needs.

Tibet (Xizang) Tours
Tibet (Xizang) is officially reopened to foreign travelers. The local Tourism Bureau started to accept applications for Tibet permits from March 15th, 2023!
Tibet is a dream destination for anyone who loves traveling. On the roof of the world, countless snow-capped peaks reach to the sky, topped by the awesome Mt. Everest. More than 1,000 lakes dot the vast highland plateau like blue or green jewels.
The amazing Potala Palace has been "shining like the sun and the moon" for hundreds of years. Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags hang everywhere and beautiful monasteries are the spiritual centers of the Tibetan world. Tibet also has great glaciers, mysterious historical sites, wild animal paradises, and friendly Tibetan people.
- The best times to visit Tibet is from May to October. During this period, the weather is pleasant. The best time, however, is also the tourist high season. So, if you prefer to avoid tourists, want lower travel costs and don't mind the cold weather, November to January is recommended instead. The plentiful sunlight in winter would make you feel warm during daytime. Winter is the only time when you can see the blue ice of the lakes. Tibet is usually closed from February to April.
- Three nights or four days is the minimum recommended for a Tibet tour. You can cover the highlights of Lhasa during four days. Tibet is very big. If you would like to include more beauties, such as a holy lake and Everest Base Camp, you'd need 5–8 days. If you would like to include some trekking or camping too, more than 10 days are needed.
- Obtaining a Tibet Travel Permit is a must for all foreigners visiting Tibet. In more than 20 years as an online travel agency, we have never failed to obtain Tibet Travel Permits. We highly recommend, however, that you plan early and book early.
No matter whether you just want to have a look at Tibet or want to go deeper to seek out its beauties hidden in remote areas. No matter whether you are a big fan of Tibetan culture or you are more interested in a trekking and camping experience, we are ready to make your dreams of a Tibet tour come true.

Tibet Travel Tips
All foreign travelers need a Tibet Entry Permit for entering Tibet (Travel Permits and Military Permits may also be needed for areas outside Lhasa). Permits can only be obtained by qualified Chinese tour operators and the application process often changes without warning. Foreigners are not allowed to tour Tibet without a local guide.
- Book a tour with us.
- Submit a copy of your passport ID and China visa pages at least 20 days in advance.
- If you work/live in China, you also need to submit a working certificate issued by your company or a proof of residence.
- The Tibet Tourism Bureau will check the documents and send us a paper travel permit 7 days before you enter Tibet.
- We will get the travel permit to you before you board your flight/train to Lhasa.
Foreigners can hardly ever obtain travel permits for March, during Tibetan New Year, when Tibet is closed for political reasons.
We suggest you take a flight that arrives in Lhasa in the morning. Morning flights are more likely to be on time. Flights take around 2 hours from Chengdu, Xi'an, Chongqing, or Kunming, or around 5 hours from Beijing or Shanghai.
We suggest you take a train to Lhasa from Xining or Lanzhou. Then your journey will be a bit shorter and there'll be a higher likelihood of successful booking since there are more trains per day from these two cities than from more distant places.
It takes about 20 hours from Xining or 23 hours from Lanzhou, and the best scenery begins about 10 hours before arriving in Lhasa.
There are also direct trains to Lhasa from Beijing or Shanghai, which we do not recommend: the journey takes over 40 hours.
If you decide to go to Lhasa by train, it's better to have a back-up plan; for example, to fly instead and take the train back. It is much easier to book a train ticket from Lhasa. Taking a train to Tibet will not help with adapting to the high altitude. The train to Lhasa is air-tight and supplies sufficient oxygen, so you'll still need to adapt to the thin air after leaving the train.
Connecting to Tibet via International Flights
- Flying in: Leave no less than 3 hours between flights, if you want to fly first to another city in China and then transfer onto a flight to Tibet. We'll pass your Tibet Entry Permit on to you as you wait for the onward flight.
- By train: If you transfer to a train for Tibet after an international flight, we will send you your scanned permits in advance. Scanned permit printouts are enough for train travel.
- Generally, we recommend you don't travel to Tibet directly after an international flight. The combination of jet-lag and tiredness is likely to make you more vulnerable to altitude sickness. We suggest you spend at least 2 days elsewhere in China and then travel on to Tibet.
