Dear Emma,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

It's true that traveling to Nyingchi need other travel documents. To visit Nyingchi, you typically need the following permits: Tibet Travel Permit, which is required for all foreign travelers visiting Tibet. Aliens' Travel Permit, which is required for foreign travelers visiting areas outside Lhasa. Military Area Entry Permit, which is needed if you want to tour some areas like Nyingchi.

Our Xizang (Tibet) tour packages include the Tibet Travel Permit and all the necessary Tibet travel documents. If you book with us, we’ll help apply for the permits needed to ensure a smooth and worry-free Nyingchi Peach Festival tour.

Dear Amanda,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

It's true that July, August and September are the rainy season in Tibet. But that doesn't mean it will rain every day. In those months there will be more clouds than in other months, but that doesn't mean that there won't be blue skies. You can be lucky to enjoy the blue sky, sunlight and clear view of Mt. Everest, but you can also be unlucky and Mt. Everest will be in the clouds. If you want to have a bigger chance to see Mount Everest clearly with blue sky, you better visit before July or after mid September. The best time to join a Tibet tour to Lhasa and EBC is generally from April to June and from September to October. During these months, the weather is relatively stable, with clear skies, mild temperatures and less rainfall, making it ideal for traveling on the breathtaking landscapes of Tibet.

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.

Dear Margaret,

Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry about traveling to Tibet. We appreciate your interest and are happy to assist you.

In fact, altitude sickness has little to do with age, and is mainly related to personal hypoxia tolerance and how you acclimate to the high altitude. Traveling on the Tibet Plateau, it’s common for some tourists to experience altitude sickness. To minimize the effect of altitude sickness, it is important to allow time to acclimate to the high altitude and to take precautions to prevent altitude sickness. You should drink plenty of water, eat light meals, and avoid alcohol or caffeine. It is also recommended to take a slow path in the first two days after entering Tibet and ascend gradually to a higher altitude. We also strongly recommend doing physical examinations and consulting a doctor before taking a Tibet trip.

We have carefully planned our routes, giving you enough time to adapt to the plateau environment before heading to EBC. Our local guides will closely follow your family’s health condition and offer timely assistance throughout your stay in Tibet. We have successfully received many small kids and seniors traveling to Tibet. With thoughtful arrangements, we ensure a safe Tibet tour to Mt. Everest area. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re always here to help you figure out a safe and comfortable Tibet family tour!

Dear Park, thank you for your question!

Nyingchi has a plateau climate, but due to its location along the Yarlung Tsangpo River, the climate is relatively mild. Summers are warm, and winters are cold. The average annual temperature is around 8-10°C. Spring and autumn are the most suitable seasons for travel, as the weather is pleasant during these times.
