Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special permit to travel to Tibet?

Yes. Most foreign visitors require a Tibet Travel Permit and must travel with a licensed operator. We arrange permits on your behalf.

How should I prepare for the high altitude?

Allow acclimatization days, avoid strenuous activity on arrival, stay hydrated, and consult a doctor about medication for altitude sickness if needed.
