    Mount Kailash Ticket Policy & Itinerary Adjustment Notice

    According to a joint notice from the Ngari Tourism Bureau and the Mount Kailash Scenic Area, a new ticketing policy has been implemented with immediate effect: Tickets are strictly limited daily, no advanced reservations are accepted, and our tour guide must physically arrive in Darchen to register with the Tourism Bureau before purchasing the next day's tickets.

    Due to the uncertainties of on-site queuing and daily capacity limits, we have formulated the following contingency plans to maximize the success rate of securing your tickets and ensuring your travel experience:

    Normal Scenario: If we successfully purchase the tickets on Day 1, the itinerary will proceed as originally planned.

    Contingency Plan (If tickets cannot be secured on Day 1):

    Postponement: The visit schedule will be postponed by one day. The itinerary will be adjusted to visit the sacred Lake Manasarovar first, and the Mt. Kailash travel will instead commence on the morning of Day 3 (after arriving in Darchen).

    Condensed Traveling Days: The original 3-day tour duration may be condensed into 2 days.

    Itinerary Optimization: To better align with the ticketing timeframes, the schedule before and after the Kailash tour may be adjusted, and some nearby sightseeing spots might be omitted.

    Submit your name and email to claim a US$50 discount coupon, valid for all Tibet small & join-in group tours.

            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.

            6. During your stay in Tibet, please obey the law and respect the local religion and customs. Do not photograph military facilities, and other politically sensitive areas; Do not accept any news media interview; Do not collect secret intelligence; Do not wave antisocial banners, yelling antisocial slogans; Do not use aerial cameras; Do not venture into areas beyond planned itineraries.

            7. Souvenirs like knives, antiques, animal skulls, etc. are not allowed to be taken out of China at customs. Please don’t buy this kind of souvenir.

            • Mr. Picard from France, asked on January 15th, 2025

              About enjoying the scenery along the way

              Given that the trip involves extensive overland driving, are there opportunities to stop along the way to enjoy scenic views during the journey?

              Mr. Tashi Wangyal from Tibet Horizon, answered on January 15th, 2025

              Dear Picard, thank you for reaching out with your question.

              Yes, during the journey, there are ample opportunities to stop at the roadside and soak in far-sight views. As you traverse through the stunning landscapes of Tibet, the route offers numerous points where you can pull over briefly to take in the awe-inspiring scenery. For instance, the drive between Lhasa and Shigatse often reveals vast, open grasslands stretching as far as the eye can see, dotted with yaks and fluttering prayer flags. You can pause here to capture the beauty of the pastoral landscapes and feel the grandeur of the Tibetan plateau. Moreover, as you approach the Himalayan range on the way to Everest Base Camp, the road offers some spots to stop and admire the snowy peaks in the distance. However, it’s important to note that on expressway sections, stops are indeed restricted by traffic regulations. During the drive, our guide and driver will do their best to allow you to fully appreciate the scenery along the way.
