Although Tibet is an integral region in China, traveling to Tibet cannot be fulfilled just with a Chinese visa. Without an additional Tibet Travel Permit, neither visitors can board a train or a flight nor make entry into Tibet. Even individual tourists are not allowed to travel inside Tibet without a tour operator. So, to acquire this permit, you are first required to book a guided tour with Himalayan Glacier. After this, you will have to send a copy of the information pages of your passport and your Chinese visa copy. We will then hand over the copies to Tibet Tourism Bureau for processing your permit that will take around 8-10 days. It is highly recommended that you plan for your Tibet Travel Permit at least one month before setting out for Tibet. We will deliver your permit to you at your hotel in mainland China or email a copy of the permit depending on how you travel (flight or train).
