Tibet Train Tour Faqs

  • 1. How to get to Tibet by train?

    The Qinghai-Tibet Railway connects Lhasa in Tibet with major cities in Chinese mainland, including Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Xining. Currently, Tibet trains run daily between Lhasa and Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Lanzhou, Xining, and Xi'an, and depart every other day from Chengdu and Chongqing. You can board the Tibet train in one of these cities and take the scenic ride directly to Lhasa.

  • 2. What is the best time to travel to take a Tibet train trip?

    Taking a Tibet train to Lhasa is a popular choice for tourists as it offers a glimpse of the stunning scenery along the ride.

    The best time to rake a Tibet train ride is generally from April to June and from September to October. During these months, the weather is relatively stable, with clear skies and mild temperatures, making the view outside the windows clearer. Also at this time, the scenery along the way is stunning: the grasslands are lush and green, the lakes are glittering with sunlight, and the peaks are covered with snow.

    Summer is also and good time to travel along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway as the green grasslands are dotted with flowers and the lakes and glaciers are shining under the sun. However, June to September is China’s peak travel season so the Tibet train ticket may sell out quickly. If you want to appreciate the summer landscape on the Tibet train, our dedicated personnel will help you handle ticket purchasing.

    If you want to appreciate snowfields, you can take a Tibet train in winter. During this time, the meadows and mountains are thick in snow, painted into a holy white land. The lakes are ice blue, immersed with a tranquil and captivating charm. Usually, there are fewer travelers in winter so the tickets are more accessible. However, the weather may be cold.

  • 3. What permits are needed to join a Tibet train tour?

    To enter Tibet by train, travelers typically need the following permits:

    Tibet Travel Permit: This permit is issued by the Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB) and is required for all foreign travelers visiting Tibet.

    Aliens' Travel Permit: Travelers traveling to partially restricted areas such as EBC, Basumtso Lake, Samye Monastery, etc. need to obtain Aliens’ Travel Permit via Tibet Travel Agency (like Tibet Horizon).

    Military Area Entry Permit: Travelers visiting military-sensitive areas such as Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarovar, etc, need to apply for a Military Area Entry Permit.

    Our Xizang tour packages include 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 Tibet train tour.

  • 4. How to book a Tibet train ticket?

    You can buy a Tibet train ticket on China Railway’s official website https://www.12306.cn/ or its app “Railway 12306”. You can also buy the ticket from the ticket windows at the station.

    However, foreign travelers need to complete a quite complicated process of registration, identity verification, passport information upload, and payment.

    The most convenient and worry-free way to get your ticket is to book online with us. Specializing in Tibet tour, we can guarantee you the Tibet train ticket and arrange a smooth and wonderful China Tibet train trip for you.

  • 5. How to collect Tibet train ticket?

    If you book your train ticket with us, we can deliver your Tibet train ticket to your hotel. In other cases, we can also give you a booking number by which you can collect your train ticket from self-service ticket machines or by showing the staff your booking number, passport, and Tibet Travel Permit.

    Please arrive at the station in advance in case there is not enough time to get your ticket.

  • 6. How to board Tibet train?

    If you choose to collect your ticket by yourself, bring your passport and Tibet Travel Permit to collect your train ticket after reaching the railway station of your departing city. Or you can enter the station directly with your tickets.

    After going through security check and entering the station, find your ticket barrier. If you arrive early, you can stay at the waiting hall for check-in. After the ticket check starts, you can board the train through manned ticket gates.

  • 7. What are the facilities on Tibet train?

    Seats: Except for standing tickets, there are three types of seats: hard seat, hard sleeper, and soft sleeper. A hard seat is the cheapest option with minimum comfort. A hard sleeper compartment usually has six hard sleepers with three (upper, middle, and lower berths) on each side. However, there is no lockable door. A soft sleeper compartment has four berths (two upper berths and two lower berths) and a lockable door, providing more personal space for tourists.

    Toilets: There is one squat and one Western toilet at the end of each carriage. Please notice that toilet paper is not provided.

    Water Dispenser: Free hot water is provided during the entire trip. You can bring a bottle or paper cup to get boiled water. Be careful with hot water!

    Oxygen Supply: Trains to Tibet are equipped with two kinds of oxygen supply systems. One is a diffusing system on the top of each carriage. The other is oxygen outlets under each seat and sleeper. You can use this device to inhale oxygen to alleviate altitude sickness.

    Food Services: The dining carriage, usually in the middle of the train, offers three meals and drinks. During meal time, you can go to the dining car to order Chinese and Tibetan-style dishes and enjoy your meal while appreciating beautiful views outside the window. You can get snacks and drinks from mobile food carts as well. You can also bring some food and fruits with you in case you don’t get used to the food served on the train.

  • 8. What to see on Tibet train?

    Yuzhu Peak: Soaring to a height of 6,178m, it is snow-capped all year long.

    Kekexili: Situated in the northwest part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it’s one of the largest and highest nature reserves in China, home to many rare species such as snow leopards, Tibetan antelope, and wild yaks.

    Tuotuo River: Originating from the glaciers of Jianggendiru Snow Mountains, the highest peak of Tanggula Mountain range, Tuotuo River is the official headstream of Yangtze River.

    Cuona Lake: It’s the world’s highest freshwater lake and the closest lake to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, with clear and green waters against the blue sky and the mountains beyond.

  • 9. How to deal with possible altitude sickness on Tibet train?

    Taking a train on the Tibet Plateau with an average altitude of over 4,000 meters, it’s common for some tourists to experience altitude sickness when taking China Tibet train tour. The symptoms of altitude sickness can include headache, nausea, and dizziness.

    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. Travelers should drink plenty of water, eat light meals, and avoid alcohol or caffeine.

    Besides, Tibet trains are equipped with oxygen supplies. After starting from Golmud, the oxygen diffusing system starts to pump oxygen into the carriage. If you feel uncomfortable, you can also use oxygen outlets or take some medications. Don’t worry that you may have a severe effect because each train has a doctor to ensure your comfortable travel. Ask for help if you feel extremely sick.

  • Mrs. López from Argentina, asked on March 3rd, 2023

    Visit Lhasa with my Chinese wife

    Hi, I'm planning to visit Tibet in January 2025 for a couple of weeks. I'm a British citizen living and working in China with a Z visa and Chinese residence permit. My wife, a Chinese national, will join me. I understand I need permits, but I'm unsure about the group travel requirement. I prefer to explore at my own pace with my wife, not as part of a group. Any advice would be much appreciated!

    Mr. Karma from Tibet Horizon, answered on March 3rd, 2023

    Dear López, thank you for your inquiry! Visiting Tibet in January offers a wonderful opportunity to experience local culture and traditions, with fewer tourists and more local Tibetans on spiritual pilgrimages to Lhasa. This provides a chance to interact with locals and immerse yourself in authentic Tibetan culture.

    Regarding your question about traveling independently without being part of a group or tour, it's important to note that according to the Tibet Tourism Bureau policy, travelers must book their Tibet tour with a local tour operator to obtain the necessary permits. Additionally, a guide will be arranged for you during your stay in Tibet, and if you plan to travel outside of Lhasa, you'll need to hire a car and driver, as foreigners are not permitted to use public transportation.

    However, with a reputable tour operator, it's possible to plan a flexible itinerary that allows you to explore at your own pace, especially after completing the day's activities. A good operator will ensure that your trip meets your preferences and interests while also complying with local regulations. Feel free to contact us for further assistance in planning your trip.

  • Mrs. Mohamed from Egypt, asked on April 14th, 2022

    The meal arrangements during the trip

    Hi, could you please clarify the meal arrangements during the trip? I noticed that lunches and dinners are not specified in the itinerary. Are meals included, or will we need to cover these expenses ourselves?

    Mr. Tenzin Sherab from Tibet Horizon, answered on April 14th, 2022

    Dear Mohamed, thank you for reaching out us. e truly appreciate your proactive approach to ensuring a fulfilling culinary experience during your travels. Upon your arrival in Lhasa, our dedicated tour guides will warmly welcome you and inquire about your dietary preferences. Based on your preferences, they will recommend a variety of restaurants that align with your tastes and interests.

    We highly recommend indulging in the authentic flavors of local Tibetan cuisine, including delicacies such as homemade Tsampa, Tibetan momo, dried yak meat, Tibetan noodles, and Tibetan yogurt. These dishes offer a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich culinary heritage of Tibet. Additionally, you'll have the chance to enjoy Nepali and Indian cuisines, with dishes like yak curry, yak steak, butter chicken, and chicken tikka masala.

    While exploring Tibet, you'll find a delightful blend of Sichuan cuisine, reflecting the diverse culinary influences in the region. For those seeking familiar tastes, some restaurants also offer Western-style dishes to cater to a range of preferences. Rest assured, our team is dedicated to ensuring you have a memorable dining experience throughout your journey.

  • Mr. Karlsson from Sweden, asked on May 17th, 2024

    Tibet Travel Permit Needed for Taking a Tibet Train?

    Dear Sir/ Madam, I’m planning a Tibet trip and I want to take a Tibet train from Xining. Do I need the Tibet Travel Permit to board the train at Xining Train Station?

    Mr. Tsering Wangdue from Tibet Horizon, answered on May 17th, 2024

    Dear Karlsson, thank you for extending your question to us.

    The answer is yes. You’ll need the Tibet Travel Permit to enter the train station. The automatic gates only recognize Chinese ID cards, so you need to bring your passport, train ticket, and Tibet Travel permit to get through the manual entrance check. If you book with us, we’ll apply the permit for you and deliver it to your address in the Chinese Mainland.

    If you have further questions, feel free to contact us. We’re looking forward to traveling with you in this wonderful land.

  • Mrs. Jones from Australia, asked on March 14th, 2024

    Payment Methods on Tibet Train

    Hello! I’m planning to take a train to Tibet from Xi’an. It takes around 30 hours, right? What payment methods are accepted?

    Mr. Kalsang Younten from Tibet Horizon, answered on March 14th, 2024

    Dear Jones, thank you for extending your question to us.

    Trains from Xi’an to Lhasa runs across several cities, taking around 30 hours to land you in Lhasa. During the long journey, you can get 3 meals, snacks, and drinks in the dining hall and trolleys. They accept cash payment, Wechat payment and Alipay. You can enjoy the Chinese-style food while appreciating the beautiful scenery outside the window.

    If you have further questions or need more information about Tibet train, feel free to contact us.

  • Mr. Pieterson from Holland, asked on May 11th, 2024

    Soft Sleeper vs. Hard Sleeper

    Hello! I decide to buy a train ticket from Shanghai to Lhasa. What’s the difference between soft sleeper and hard sleeper except that each hard sleeper cabin has more berths?

    Mr. Karma from Tibet Horizon, answered on May 11th, 2024

    Dear Pieterson, thank you for extending your question to us.

    The soft sleeper cabin is the first-class sleeping cabin on Tibet trains. There are four soft sleeping berths in each soft sleeper cabin. Near each berth, there is a separated oxygen outlets on the train walls. There’s a lockable door for each cabin. There are six hard sleeping berths in each cabin, which means narrower space for each traveler. In the cabin, the separated oxygen outlets are on the wall next to the windows. However, there’s no lockable door.

    If you have further questions or need assistance in booking train ticket, feel free to contact us.

  • Mrs. Sandor from Hungary, asked on June 4th, 2024

    Shopping on Lhasa Departure Day

    Hi! Can I buy a Lhasa-Shanghai flight ticket departing in the late afternoon to buy some souvenirs that morning?

    Mr. Tsering Wangdue from Tibet Horizon, answered on June 4th, 2024

    Dear Sandor, thank you for extending your question to us.

    You can buy your flight ticket according to your schedule and preference. If you want to leave sometime for shopping, you can tell our guide in advance so that they can pick you up and accompany you to the stores. They’ll then send you off at the airport and give you enough time to check in.

    Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions.

  • Mr. Rodriguez from Germany, asked on January 19th, 2024

    Alternative of Xi'an Lhasa Train

    Hello! Staying on the train for over 30 hours must be tolerating for me. Is there any alternative mode?

    Mr. Lhakpa Tsering from Tibet Horizon, answered on January 19th, 2024

    Dear Rodriguez, thank you for extending your question to us.

    There’s alternative choice to travel to Tibet, of course. The Xi’an to Lhasa train takes around 31 hours to cover the long distance. A much faster way to go to Tibet is taking a direct flight from Xi’an to Lhasa, which only takes 3hrs 15mins. Several airlines operate this route and you can take one that suits your schedule. You can tell your preferences to our professional travel consultants and they’ll work out a perfect itinerary for you.

    If you have further questions or need a detailed quotation list, feel free to contact us.

  • Mrs. Zetkin from Luxembourg, asked on March 16th, 2024

    Go to Namtso from Shigatse

    Dear Sir/ Madam, is it possible to go to Namtso Lake from Shigatse without driving back to Lhasa first?

    Mr. Tenzin Jamphel from Tibet Horizon, answered on March 16th, 2024

    Dear Zetkin, thank you for extending your question to us.

    Absolutely possible. If you want to head directly to Namtso without returning to Lhasa first, you can follow 304 Provincial Highway to Namtso Lake. This route is around 395km, taking about 4-5 hours. You can stay overnight at hotels near Namtso Lake, but the environment and facilities of these hotels may not be as good as those of hotels in Lhasa. After visiting Namtso Lake, you can head back to Lhasa.

    If you have further questions or need a detailed quotation list, feel free to contact us.

  • Mrs. Bianchi from Italy, asked on May 7th, 2024

    Chengdu West Railway Station Location

    Hello! Is Chengdu train station far from city downtown? We want to book a hotel near the central city area but we don’t want to spend a long time to get to the train station.

    Mr. Tashi Wangyal from Tibet Horizon, answered on May 7th, 2024

    Dear Bianchi, thank you for extending your question to us.

    Chengdu-Lhasa train Z322 departs from Chengdu West Railway Station, which is located at Qingyang district. It serves as a transfer station of line 4 and line 9 of Chengdu Metro. It takes around 40-50 mins to reach the station from Chunxi Road and 32 mins to get there from Tianfu Square. Therefore, it’s not far from the central city area.

    Dear Dumbadze, thank you for extending your question to us.

    Yes, you can travel to Kathmandu via Gyirong Port. After visiting EBC, you can head to Gyirong. The road journey takes around 5-6 hours to cover a total distance of 325km. From there, you can enter Nepal from Gyirong Port.

    If you have further questions, feel free to contact us. Our travel consultants can help you figure out a desired itinerary.

    Tibet Train Oxygen Supply

    Hello! Is oxygen provided throughout the train journey?

    Mr. Karma from Tibet Horizon, answered on May 22nd, 2024

    Dear Smith, thank you for extending your question to us.

    If you take Guangzhou-Tibet train, you’ll switch to the oxygen-supply train at Xining Railway Station. The train will begin to supply oxygen when the train reach Golmud. All Tibet Trains are equipped with an oxygen diffuse system and oxygen outlets to ensure a comfortable train journey.

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

    Cloths for China Tibet Trip

    Hello! What cloths to bring for China Tibet journey? Any suggestion appreciated.

    Mr. Kalsang Younten from Tibet Horizon, answered on April 18th, 2024

    Dear Nieminen, thank you for extending your question to us.

    Traveling in China, you’ll encounter diverse landscapes and quite different climate in different cities. You’d better bring both light shirts and warm jackets in case of huge temperature difference. Situated at a high altitude, the ultra violet in Tibet is strong, so you can bring sun protection jacket as well. You can tell our travel consultant your planned travel time and we can check the temperatures of cities for you.
