      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.

      • Mr. Krishna from Nepal, asked on January 1st, 2025

        Recommended Time to Cycle in Lhasa and Ganden

        Hello! I’m interested in this cycling tour in Lhasa, and I wonder what is the recommended time to visit considering the weather condition and natural scenery?

        Mr.Tenzin Sherab from Tibet Horizon, answered on January 1st, 2025

        Hello! I'm glad to hear you’re interested in our Lhasa-Ganden bike tour. The recommended time to have a cycling tour in Tibet, or more specifically, Lhasa, is from April to October. In spring form April to June, the temperature is mild and pleasant, with peach blossoms and azaleas in full bloom; during peak travel season in summer, you can enjoy lush landscapes and participate in Shoton Festival in August at Drepung Monastery; autumn is also a perfect time for cycling with crystal-clear lakes, less rain, and majestic snow-capped mountains. Winter time, however, is not a recommended time to go biking, as the temperature is extremely low and the roads can get icy.

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