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.

10 out of 10 in every aspect!
Our guide in Tibet, Yangkyi, was incredible, also. When our flight into Lhasa was turned around due to inclement weather, she remained in close communication with us and really worked hard to ensure we were able to see the things we wanted to see in our remaining time. She was able to get us into Potala Palace before the afternoon crowds and immediately recognized that my husband was suffering from a slight case of altitude sickness due to the elevation. She gave us excellent advice on how to deal with his altitude sickness and even brought oxygen for him when we visited Yamdrok Lake and the nearby glacier which are at an even higher elevation than Lhasa. more

Our guide in Tibet, Yangkyi, was exceptional. Her command of the English language is better than most native-speakers and she has a thorough knowledge of Chinese history and Tibetan culture that enriched our experience immeasurably more
