Information on Traveling to Tibet;
It is important to note that Tibet is an autonomous region in China and, you’ll require a special permit to enter Tibet. You'll need to obtain a Tibet Travel Permit or Tibet Entry Permit through a reliable travel agency based in Tibet like us. The Tibet Travel Permit will be issued depending on your entry point.
There are mainly three options to enter Tibet. First by flight, second by train, and third by route. Most travelers take a flight or train to Lhasa from Mainland China. If you are looking forward to taking a train ride to Lhasa, then Xining will be the ideal getaway city. Xining is at an elevation of 1500 metres, which will help you acclimatise to the altitude.
The nearest international airport is located in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. The flights from major cities in China are frequent and available.
Given that Tibet is a high altitude region, it's crucial to acclimatise yourself to avoid altitude sickness. It's recommended to spend at least two days in Lhasa to adjust to the altitude before venturing further into the region.
There is an option for you to enter Tibet from the Tibet Nepal Border (Kyirong) by road. That is also an option, since it will help you acclimatise to the altitude and you will also have an excellent view of the Mt. Everest on the way to Lhasa.
In terms of attractions, Tibet is known for its stunning landscapes with snow-capped mountains, lakes, monasteries, and unique culture. Some of the most popular destinations include Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Namtso Lake, Everest Base Camp, and Mount Kailash.
