The picturesque valley of Tibet holds unparalleled beauty with the presence of the colorful monasteries, landscapes of high plateaus, and snow covered mountains. Tibet trips are one of the most exciting travel options. Learning about the place in details is necessary before packing your bags. For a hassle-free journey, always remember to make a few arrangements before starting off.
The travel permit
The most important thing that you will need for the Tibet Tour is the Tibet Travel Permit. The permit is required before you enter Lhasa. To obtain the permit, you must give your travel agency a copy of your passport data and also a copy of the Chinese visa (Traveling to Tibet from Nepal has different visa policy, and this special Chinese visa can only be issued by the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu). You will get the permit via mail or from the guide who will come to receive you at the airport.
Altitude sickness problem
The rugged mountainous terrain if Tibet is difficult for walking and climbing. The standard elevation is quite high all through that may cause headaches and the shortage of breaths. The regular tour itineraries provide your body with the optimum time for acclimatization. The overnight stays and day trips balance your physiology to face the altitude difference gradually but steadily minimizing any chance of falling sick during the Tibet Tour.
Timing is important
The places that you want to visit will be the deciding factor for the timing of the tour. Generally, all the trips are planned from April to June or during September and October. It is better to avoid the monsoon due to tricky hiking ways and high inflow of students due to summer vacations.
