Tibet is Open for Travel: Tibet was reopened to foreign travelers at the beginning of April after being closed in March. You can now travel to Tibet.
To enter Tibet, you’ll need a Tibet Permit, which the Tibet Travel Administration grants following a travel agency’s application. Independent foreigners cannot apply for an Entry Permit directly; booking a tour package through a travel agency is the usual way to obtain it.
How to Apply for a Tibet Permit: All foreign citizens (non-Chinese passport holders), including foreigners in China, need a Tibet Entry Permit to visit Tibet.
The process is not complex: Prepare your passport and China visa (or Work Permit if you work in China). An approved travel agency (such as Tour into Tibet) will handle the rest, including obtaining the necessary permits for other places in Tibet, like Mount Everest Base Camp or Mount Kailash.
If your itinerary in Tibet is less than 15 days, travelers from visa-free countries can apply for a Tibet permit by providing passport photos.
Travel Restrictions and Tips: Once you arrive in Tibet, you must travel with a guide, a driver, and a private vehicle. Independent travel is strictly prohibited.
There’s no age limit, but be aware of altitude sickness when traveling to high-altitude areas.
Tibet is closed in February and March due to political reasons.
Tibet is considered safe for travelers, and you can explore its unique culture, monasteries, and breathtaking landscapes.
Mountaineering in Tibet: If you plan to climb Everest from Tibet, you’ll need a mountaineering license and the necessary permits.
Remember to plan in advance, acclimatize properly, and immerse yourself in Tibet’s beauty and spirituality. Enjoy your journey to the Roof of the World!
