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.
