How to travel to Tibet?

Tibet is a unique region, known for its rich culture, stunning landscapes, and spiritual significance. Travelling to this remote destination can be a bit daunting, but with a little preparation, anyone can experience the wonders of Tibet.

As a professional Tibet travel guide, we’ll provide some important tips and advice for planning a trip to this fascinating part of the world.

Covid 19 Safely Travel In Tibet

Choosing your travel Tibet:

Tibet is a high-altitude region, and the best time to visit is during the warmer months, between May and October. During the winter, many parts of Tibet are inaccessible due to heavy snowfall, and temperatures can drop well below freezing.

If you’re planning to trek or hike in the region, it’s best to avoid the monsoon season in July and August, as trails can become muddy and slippery. Keep in mind that Tibet is a popular destination, so it’s a good idea to book your trip in advance to secure your accommodations and permits.

Obtaining the Necessary Permits:

Tibet requires visitors to obtain a special Tibet permit before entering the region. This Tibet travel permit is in addition to your Chinese visa, and it can only be obtained through a Tiebtan travel agency in Tibet.

To apply for the permit, you’ll need to provide a detailed itinerary of your trip, including the places you plan to visit and the dates of your stay.

It’s important to note that the permit only allows you to travel to certain parts of Tibet, and you’ll need additional permits if you plan to visit areas like Mount Everest or the Mount Kailash region.

Travelling to Tibet can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but it requires a bit of preparation and planning. By choosing the right time to travel and obtaining the necessary permits, you can make the most of your trip to this breathtaking destination.

With its stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and spiritual significance, Tibet is a truly unique part of the world that is well worth a visit.

Where To Go In Tibet?

The Potala Palace is the landmark of Lhasa city, which is not possible to miss. The palace is the first sightseeing in Lhasa, which all the travellers are eager to visit, but the elevation is relatively high.

Therefore, we recommend visiting the Potala Palace on the third day of your arrival in Tibet. The Potala Palace is in the centre of Lhasa city, and the height of the palace is 117.89 metres. So, it’s ideal to do it on the third day of your tour in Lhasa.

Samye was the first Buddhist monastery to be built in Tibet. It was probably founded during the 770s under King Trisong Detsen, with the work being directed by Master Padmasambhava and Abode Shantarakshita.

They are the two Indian masters the king had invited to Tibet to help consolidate the Buddhist faith. As a result, Buddhism was spread on a large scale in Tibet, and now the 90percent of Tibetans are Buddhist followers.

The Kumbum Stupa was built in 1440 by Rabten Kunzang. The second in a line of chieftains made Gyantse the capital of a small kingdom carved out of the surrounding regions. 

Nearly all the monasteries around it are destroyed, but the Kumbum has withstood all the battles with the British that have taken place since. Although many of the statues were somewhat defaced, they remain relatively intact.

The central peak Mount Everest (Qomolangma in the Tibetan language) has 8848.43 meters above sea level as the highest mountain in the world.

Mount Everest is in the central area of the Himalayas in the Sino-Nepalese border. The geographic location of Mount Everest is east longitude 27.9 and latitude 86.9.
