      Tour Tips:

      Knows before You Book:

      1. Travelers to Tibet should have a moderate physical fitness level. Patients with serious hypertension, heart disease, asthma, bronchitis, diabetes, and cold should be restricted from traveling to Tibet.

      2. Book at least 20 days in advance so the tour operator may have enough time to apply for and deliver your Tibet Travel Permit. Normally, it takes around 8-9 days to process your Tibet Travel Permit from the Tibet Tourism Bureau and another 3-4 days to deliver your Permit to your address in Chinese mainland.

      3. A Tibet train/flight ticket is not included in our tour package. If you book with us, we can help you book your train/flight ticket. The train ticket to Lhasa is normally issued 15-60 days before departure. During peak seasons (from June to mid-October, during the Chinese Spring Festival and other public holidays in China), train tickets may be issued only 1-9 days before departure.

      4. Price is based on double occupancy. Solo travelers who prefer to stay in a room by themselves need to pay for the additional charge of single room supplement. Please consult our travel consultants for specific prices.

      5. Your airport/train station pick-up and drop-off in Lhasa needed to be arranged by the tour agency as foreign visitors are prohibited from independent traveling.

      6. If you plan to travel to Lhasa via Kathmandu, please do not apply for a China L Visa in advance. You need to apply for a Tibet Group Visa from the China Embassy in Kathmandu via a travel agency. If you have your China L Visa, it will automatically expire when applying for a Tibet Group Visa.

      7. Please read the Payment Methods, Terms and Conditions, and Cancellation policies before you book.

      Knows after You Book:

      1. Please provide photocopies of your passports and China L visas at least 15 days before the travel date, making sure we have enough time to apply for your Tibet Travel Permit. If you have other type of visas, please contact your travel consultant.

      2. Make sure to bring warm and comfortable clothing and walking shoes for your Tibet trip.

      3. It is recommended to bring spending cash for the whole trip. In Lhasa, you can withdraw money with a foreign bank card or change your foreign currency into Chinese Renminbi (RMB, CNY).

      4. Travel insurance is provided by The People’s Insurance Company (Group) of China Limited (www.epicc.com.cn), which covers tourist accident risks only in China. Tourists are recommended to purchase additional insurance on their own.

      5. Altitude Sickness is a common reaction in the plateau. Common symptoms include fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, headache, etc. Normally such symptoms will disappear in 2 days. You’d better consult your doctor and bring some medicine, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen and nutrient supplements.

      • Mr. James from America, asked on March 25th, 2025

        Riding Mode of Chengdu-Lhasa Biking Tour-Entirely by Bike or with Vehicle Support

        Hello! I’m interested in this cycling tour, but I wonder whether the trip is fully biked or can be supported by cars, because I am not sure whether I can complete the whole journey solely by bikes.

        Mr. Tenzin Jamphel from Tibet Horizon, answered on March 25th, 2025

        Hello! I'm glad to answer your question on our Chengdu-Lhasa biking tour. Actually, the mode of ride is a blend of bike with cars, depending on the distance of the route of each day. If the distance of the day exceeds 100km, or the route is too treacherous to ride, we will opt for cars to assist us with this part of ride. So, don’t worry much about the intensity of the ride, but individuals with heart or respiratory conditions are not recommended to join in the trip.

        I hope the answer is helpful for you to arrange your trip to Tibet. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
