Planning your tour with Tibet Shambhala Adventure In this blog, we will share the simplest way to plantours to Tibet. Here are some steps to preparing and planning your tour. Step 1: Get the necessary documents. You will need a passport, a Chinese visa, and the required permits to enter and explore Tibet. Let’s take a look at each requirement. Applying for a Chinese visa If you don't already have a passport, you'll need to apply for one. If you already have a passport, make sure that it remains valid for at least 6 months from the beginning of your trip, with sufficient blank pages for the visa. You must apply for a Chinese visa from your home country if you're traveling through China on your way to Tibet. It's advisable not to mention Tibet as one of your destinations in your visa application to avoid complications. Instead, list a few Chinese cities as your travel destinations.

2. Note that citizens of countries like Japan, Singapore, Mauritius, Belarus, and a few others may not need a Chinese visa due to visa-free travel agreements with China for short stays. If you're eligible for visa-free travel, simply provide us with a scan or photo of your passport so we can proceed with obtaining your necessary permits. Are you traveling through Nepal? Another way to get to Tibet is by traveling through Nepal. In this case, you need a Chinese group visa, which the Embassy in Nepal can provide. Securing Tibet permits Once you have your visa, we can begin processing your permit application for tours to Tibet. Please provide us with clear copies of your visa and passport at least 20 days before your travel date. We assure you that we will handle all the necessary permits for your tour. You'll need these permits to board a plane or train to Tibet. If you're traveling from China or Nepal, we'll ensure you have the original permits in hand, so there's no need to worry. Step 2: Choose your tour. We have a wide range oftours to Tibetthat you can browse on our website!

To ensure a smooth boarding process, we will provide you with a Tibet Travel Permit. We'll greet you at the airport upon your arrival. By train: It takes around 40 hours to reach Tibet by train from major cities in mainland China, but the beautiful views will make the trip worthwhile! Overland: There are several overland routes connecting Tibet with China, India, and Nepal, each offering stunning views. The journey through Everest and the Friendship Highway is particularly notable for its beauty and interest. If you're coming from China, you can take one of two highways from Chengdu to Lhasa, or you can take the route from Xining. Step 4: Pack right. Depending on the season and your activities, we can give you a list of suggested items to bring. If you’re going on trekkingtours to Tibet, be mindful of the limit porters can carry (which is usually around 8-10kg). You might need to hire a pack animal or leave some things in the hotel or vehicle if you exceed this limit. Don’t forget to check the airline’s luggage allowance if you’re flying to Tibet, and remember to leave extra room in your luggage for souvenirs if you plan to buy any. Start planning your tour!
