All points of entry to Tibet are located either in mainland China or Nepal. So, one can reach Tibet only from the several access points originating in these two countries. One needs to apply for a Chinese visa at their native country in advance if planning to enter Tibet from mainland China. From the major cities of mainland China, it is possible to take direct flights to cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Kunming and others. Travelers can also choose to take a train to Tibet from the cities of Xining, Beijing, Chengdu, Xi’an, and Shanghai.

Likewise, entering into Tibet from Nepal side, visitors need to apply for Chinese group visa at the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu despite already acquiring a Chinese visa. The group visa is ready in about 3 official working days. A direct flight with duration of one and half hour from Kathmandu will bring visitors to the roof of the world, Lhasa. It is also possible to reach Lhasa from Kathmandu on the Nepal to Tibet Overland Tour, a scenic road drive which takes about 6 days with a detour to Everest Base Camp on the North Face.
