Tibet is one of the most unusual regions on the earth, located on a high-altitude plateau at the world's summit. And now that you've booked your Tibet tour with us, you'll need to decide what to take. It is critical to ensure that you have all of the gear required for a Tibet trip that is appropriate for the time of year you are visiting, as well as that you do not bring too many unnecessary items. Overpacking is the most prevalent concern among tourists to Tibet, and many individuals take items they will never use since they believe the plateau is permanently frozen. Here are the key travel documents required for a Tibet tour.


Required travel documents


Chinese visa


The Chinese Entry Visa is the first item you must get, even before booking your trip. This visa stamp is used to enter China after arriving at the airport, and it is also necessary to obtain your Tibet Travel Permit, which you will need to enter Tibet.


If you are going for Tibet Travel from mainland China, you must apply for a visa at the Embassy ...
... of the People's Republic of China in your home country. Some nations accept mail applications, while others must utilize the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre (CVASC) in their home country. In any case, you must apply with your original passport, two passport-sized pictures, a completed application form, evidence of onward or return travel from China, proof of accommodation reservation in China, and the applicable charge for your home country. Processing typically takes three days, and the visa is usually valid for three months from the date of issue.


For those arriving through Nepal, the visa is known as the Chinese Group Visa. Our agent applies for this on your behalf, and the application procedure has its own set of prerequisites, which we manage for the most part. Processing takes three working days, and if granted, we will collect and send the visa documents, which are separate from your passport, to your accommodation in Kathmandu.


Tibetan Travel Permit (TTP)


All foreign tourists visiting Tibet, whether from China or Nepal, must obtain a Tibet Travel Permit before entering the Tibet Autonomous Region. The permit cannot be requested individually and must be obtained through a registered tour operator after booking a pre-arranged excursion. After you book your tour with us, we will apply on your behalf, using scanned copies of your passport and visa.


The application procedure might take up to 15-20 days, and once received; we will either send it to your hotel in China or deliver it to your hotel in Kathmandu. All passengers must also get permission before boarding trains or aircraft to Lhasa, as well as at different checkpoints across Tibet for the Tibet tour. Overpacking is the most prevalent concern among tourists to Tibet, and many individuals take items they will never use since they believe the plateau is permanently frozen.
