Tibet Travel FAQs

“Great Customized Service”, “Trip of A Lifetime”, “Exceed All Expectations”

1.What is a Tibet Travel Permit? How to apply it?

The Tibet Travel Permit is required for all foreign tourists entering Tibet and is in addition to your Chinese visa. Here is the application process to apply for a Tibet Travel Permit.

Find a Travel Agency>Submit Required Documents such as passport, visa information, application form, etc. (Online Application)>Wait for Approval>Collect the Permit

It’s also important to note that independent travel in Tibet is not allowed; you must be on a guided tour. 

Tibet is suitable for traveling all year round. In Spring from March to May, the weather is mild, and you can witness the beautiful blooming of wildflowers across the Tibetan Plateau. This is also a great time for bird-watching. Summer from June to August is the peak season but ideal for outdoor activities and festivals. Autumn from September to November offers a mild climate and clear skies, making it perfect for photography. Winter is the off-season due to the harsh weather and cold temperatures. However, this season is also a unique time to experience Tibetan culture and festivals, such as Losar (Tibetan New Year).

Contact Elephant Travel and we will always try to customize tours all year round based on your requests.

Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), is a concern for many travelers visiting Tibet. Here are some steps you can take to prevent altitude sickness:

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to help your body adjust to the altitude. Dehydration can exacerbate the symptoms of altitude sickness.
  • Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: These can increase dehydration and worsen the effects of altitude sickness.
  • Eat Light: Heavy meals can put additional strain on your body as it adjusts to the altitude.
  • Get Enough Rest: Ensure you are well-rested, as fatigue can make the symptoms of AMS worse.
  • Use Medications Wisely: Over-the-counter medications like acetazolamide (Diamox) can help prevent and treat altitude sickness. Consult with your doctor before you travel to discuss if this medication is right for you.

Age is a factor when traveling to Tibet, primarily because of the region’s high altitude and rugged terrain. However, there is no official age limit for traveling to Tibet.
