Absolutely no independent travel is permitted in Tibet. It is unfortunate due to China’s very strict tourism policy for Tibet to get a visa on your own. Hence, traveling alone is not possible. All foreigners must possess travel permits, a tour guide and a private vehicle with a driver. Private vehicle is not required if you are only staying in Lhasa and not visiting other parts of Tibet. As an authorized travel and adventure company, Himalayan Glacier will organize everything for their customers including visa, permits to enter and other essential paperwork.
