🔔 IMPORTANT UPDATE: NEW TIBET TRAVEL REGULATIONS 🇹🇳🙏
Dear Valued Travelers,
We would like to inform you of a new travel restriction communicated by the Tibet Tourism Bureau regarding overland travel from Kathmandu to Tibet.
🚨 Current Travel Restrictions
At present, individual/single travel permits are not being issued for overland travelers traveling from Kathmandu to Lhasa or Mount Kailash via Shigatse, the Rongbuk area, and Tingri.
Accordingly:
• Kathmandu–Lhasa overland travel via Shigatse and Tingri is currently not permitted for individual or group travelers.
• Travelers wishing to visit Lhasa and surrounding areas may travel by flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa, subject to the required permits and regulations.
• For Mount Kailash & Lake Manasarovar, travelers are currently required to fly from Kathmandu to Lhasa first and spend the required time in Lhasa for proper acclimatization.
• Following acclimatization in Lhasa, the group may fly to Purang or Ali Airport and continue the Kailash–Manasarovar journey.
• Upon completion of the Kailash tour, travelers will fly back to Lhasa before continuing to their onward destination.
