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.

Sunset at Mt Everest
It was a 6-day tour from Lhasa to Mt. Everest. My guide was Choezom, who took care of all the itinerary with kindness. Our tour group was really lucky to see the sunset at Mt. Everest, which was extremely exciting. more

Best guide in Tibet!
Khamsang was our guide for 2 days in Lhasa Tibet and she was our favorite guide of the entire trip! She went above and beyond to make our time in Tibet so special and memorable. She greeted us with lovely traditional scarves. She gave us a wonderful tour of beautiful temples, monasteries and palaces. She knew exactly when to arrive to see rare and unique events at each location. She is passionate about Tibetan culture and we were mesmerized by her stories. Our driver was always friendly and on time. I would recommend Khamsang to anyone interested in discovering Lhasa and Tibet! more
