India to Tibet Tours

From India to Tibet, the first recommended mode of transportation is to fly to Kathmandu or to get to Kathmandu by land, and then go to Tibet by plane or road.

If you're going to travel to Tibet from an inland city in China, you can fly from Delhi or Bangalore to Chengdu, Kunming, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, etc., and then go to Lhasa by plane or train.

If you're not going to Ngari, you can apply for the Tibet Travel Permit (TTP) through a Tibet Travel Agency such as Great Tibet Tour. Send us a copy of your passport and Chinese Visa at least 20 days before your departure date, we can handle it for you.

If you are going to Ngari to make a pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar or pass through the Nagri area, even if not for religious purposes, you need to turn to two organizations instead of Tibet travel agencies. The first one is the Foreign Affairs Office of TAR (governmental); the second one is the Pilgrimage Reception Center (non-governmental), short for the Pilgrimage Center, which is located in Tuanjie New Village of Lhasa.

Besides, you also can book your Ngari tours through the Nepal or Indian Travel Agencies as they are authorized partners of the Pilgrimage Center. We can also provide free consultation for you.

Not only Indians but all tourists holding passports other than Chinese passports are not allowed to travel independently in Tibet and can only choose to travel in groups.

The private tour can be customized according to the ideal time and route of the tourists, which can maximize the desires of the tourists.

Tibet is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and has a plateau climate with large temperature differences between day and night. During the daytime, the temperature is relatively high and you will need to take off your jacket. At night, the temperature is low, you must add clothes to keep warm. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare a warm jacket (down jacket or cotton jacket).

Footwear: warm and skidproof hiking shoes, comfortable sports shoes, breathable socks.
First aid: prevent high-resistance medicine such as Nuodikang Capsules, Nifedipine, and Suoluomabao Capsules (known as Hongjingtian Capsules in Chinese).

In addition, tourists can buy clothes and medicines in Lhasa.

No. Currently in Tibet, it is not feasible to exchange Indian rupees into RMB. It is recommended that you exchange your Indian Rupee for USD cash beforehand and bring USD to Tibet for tourism. If you bring a bank card, you can also withdraw RMB directly from the ATM.
