Do I need a Tibet Travel Permit for this tour?

Yes, all foreign tourists visiting Tibet require a Tibet Travel Permit (TTP). We handle all permit applications on your behalf once you book with us. You'll need to provide a copy of your passport and Chinese visa at least 20 days before departure.

How do I prepare for high altitude?

We recommend arriving 1-2 days early for acclimatization. Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol and strenuous activity in the first few days. We provide supplemental oxygen and our guides are trained in altitude sickness prevention. Consult your doctor about altitude medication like Diamox.

What is the best time to visit Tibet?

The best time to visit Tibet is from April to October when weather is most favorable. May-June and September-October offer clear skies and mild temperatures. July-August can be rainy but landscapes are lush and green. Winter tours are possible but some areas may be inaccessible.

Can I customize this tour?

Absolutely! We specialize in customized Tibet tours. You can adjust the itinerary, add extra days, change accommodation levels, or combine multiple destinations. Contact us with your preferences and we'll create a personalized itinerary.
