This is a Tibet travel guide.

: How to arrange travel to Tibet

1. Determine the travel time.

If tourists plan to travel to Tibet, they must plan their travel time in advance. It is recommended that tourists travel to Tibet between April and September. This time is the peak tourist season in Tibet. The weather is starting to improve here and things are picking up. Tourists can see that the Brahmaputra River in Tibet has begun to wear a layer of green clothes. A natural green barrier is a good way for tourists to block the wind and sand blowing from the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River. And this time is also the best time to travel by car on the Sichuan-Tibet Line. The ice and snow on the mountains melted. The snow on the mountains melted. Although this time coincides with the rainy season in Tibet, tourists don’t have to worry at all. It's mostly sunny during the day, with most of the rain falling in the early morning and evening.

2. Invite fellow travelers.

When traveling to Tibet, group tours are the most cost-effective and convenient way to travel. Tourists can reserve a suitable time, at the right season and at the right place, and invite a few suitable friends to go to Tibet. Starting with like-minded people really adds so much to the experience of this trip. If you don’t have a partner who can organize a group trip to Tibet, you can join a group organized by a local travel agency in Tibet and other people who are going to Tibet together to be fully prepared for this trip.

3. Find a Tibet travel agency

Tibet is a plateau area with special climate conditions. If it is your first time to travel to Tibet and you are not familiar with Tibet’s geographical and cultural environment, it is recommended to join a tour group, especially since foreigners cannot travel freely in Tibet. Foreign guests traveling to Tibet must take an independent tour guide who cannot speak Tibetan. At this time, a reliable and professional tour group is very important. If tourists have various needs, they can communicate with the tour guide at any time.

Traveling in a group also saves time. In the process of going to the attractions and returning, the travel agency conducts it in a planned way, and tourists will not worry about not being able to buy tickets or being delayed. Therefore, it is very important for tourists to choose a reliable Tibet travel agency based on comprehensive factors.

4. Obtain relevant documents.

Not all scenic spots in Tibet can be visited directly. Some areas are restricted areas, and some scenic spots require border passes in advance. Tourists from mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao who go to some places in Tibet, such as Mount Everest, Ngari, Shannan and other places, need to go to the local police station in advance to apply for a border pass and carry a one-inch photo with them. You can also ask a registered travel agency staff to apply for a border permit.

In addition, taking into account Tibet’s transportation conditions, tourism service facilities and reception capacity, as well as Tibet’s unique national culture and ecological environment, the government decided that foreign tourists must enter Tibet with a letter. Not only is a Tibet Entry Permit required, tourists traveling to Tibet by train or plane also need a Tibet Entry Permit. Tourists should check whether they have the original entry letter before boarding the bus. Therefore, when tourists plan to go to Tibet, they must first obtain an entry letter and other documents before traveling to Tibet. It takes time to process the entry letter, so tourists can ask the travel agency for help.

5. Buy air tickets and train tickets to Tibet.

When tourists buy air tickets and train tickets in Tibet, if they have enough time and energy, they can choose to buy them on the ticketing website according to their own buying habits, or they can go to the local railway ticketing center to buy tickets. If tourists have limited time and energy and are worried about not being able to buy tickets within the planned time, or are not satisfied with the tickets they bought, they can choose to ask a travel agency to buy Tibet tickets. This process requires corresponding handling fees.

6. Get ready to go.

Before setting off, you must be prepared. Tibet has a plateau climate. Before entering Tibet, take measures to deal with altitude sickness. Even if tourists go to Tibet in summer, the temperature difference between day and night is huge. The temperature is high at noon, so you need to prevent heatstroke. The temperature is low in the morning and evening. You should pay attention to keeping warm, be prepared to keep out the cold, and bring warm items such as cotton-padded jackets. In addition to necessary daily necessities, individuals should pay attention to bringing rain-proof, UV-proof, and mosquito-proof items. Generally, you should wear clothes with different thermal insulation properties at different altitudes, and add or remove clothes in time in different temperature zones. While traveling, you should stay warm, not cool. At the same time, tourists can take Rhodiola rosea capsules and other medicines five days before entering Tibet to prevent altitude sickness. In short, tourists must consider the travel route and the climate environment of the destination when choosing travel equipment for Tibet. Never buy travel equipment blindly to avoid unnecessary trouble and losses.

1. Can the entry letter to Tibet be processed in time?

For overseas tourists, foreign Chinese or tourists holding foreign passports, the Tibet Entry Permit is a necessary document for entering Tibet. Whether you are traveling by car or traveling to Tibet, you need an entry letter. In the process of choosing a travel agency, tourists should give priority to whether they can process the group registration letter in time and pay attention to the business qualifications of the travel agency. The success rate of applying for Tibet Entry Permit is related to the success of tourists entering Tibet. At this time, it is important to consider the travel agency’s ability to issue certificates. Before participating in a Tibet tour, tourists only need to confirm with the travel agency in advance.

2. Are there any professional tour guide services in Tibet?

When traveling to Tibet, having a professional Tibetan-speaking tour guide can give tourists a very different experience. If tourists have altitude sickness, our tour guides will help them overcome altitude sickness according to their different physical constitutions, which can avoid many unnecessary dangers. In addition, our society has a professional Tibetan tour guide who has a clear understanding of the local history and religious culture of Tibet and is also very familiar with the local language and culture. Whatever needs tourists have during the trip can be conveyed through the tour guide. We have been there

3. Are there qualified tourist vehicles and driver services?

Safety is of course the number one priority during travel. Tour vehicles are the most basic guarantee for an excellent travel agency. The license plates of regular tourist vehicles in Tibet that tourists see all start with Tibetan A.L. If tourists choose to travel by car, they can easily be deceived. If they ride in a black car or a black car driver who takes photos irregularly, their personal safety cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, the road conditions in Tibet are complicated. Tibet Youth International Travel Agency not only has requirements for tourist vehicles, but also guarantees the driver’s experience. The drivers in the club are experienced drivers who are familiar with the local Tibetan areas. If tourists have any needs, they can ask for help at any time, which will definitely increase your sense of security during this trip. and yours?

4. Can the safety of the Tibet trip be guaranteed?

When traveling to Tibet, many tourists are particularly worried about altitude sickness. An excellent travel agency can show its profundity when dealing with the problem of altitude sickness. Tibet is a plateau area. Tourists traveling to Tibet will inevitably pass through many high-altitude places. It is normal for tourists to have altitude sickness. First of all, don’t panic, tourists themselves should tell the tour guide about their situation. I believe that our tour guide will make reasonable and correct solutions based on the severity of altitude sickness of tourists.

: How to choose a travel route that suits you

1. Choose according to the length of the vacation.

The most classic route in Tibet is the 8-day Everest tour, which has been loved by tourists from all over the world since its opening. On this route, visitors can overlook the site of Shanzong's resistance to the British and visit Baiju Temple, the only Buddhist temple that combines the three major sects of Tibet. There are exquisite murals and 100,000 pagodas famous for their carvings. After some religious influence, they will definitely have another experience when they look at the green of Gyantse forest. The most unique thing is to arrive at the Everest Base Camp, stay overnight at the Everest Base Camp, see the roof of the world, and feel the charm of the top of the world under the stars. This route is more challenging than the tourist route and is also the best and most cost-effective route. Everest Base Camp is 5,200 meters above sea level and has limited accommodation. If you are a tourist who likes to challenge your limits, you must try it.

2. Choose based on your ideal travel destination.

If tourists want to choose a route based on their ideal travel destination, they can choose Nyingchi, known as ‘Tibet Jiangnan’. There are Medog National Nature Reserve and Basongcuo National Resort. The lake in Basongcuo is crystal clear and has vast expanse of blue waves. Visitors can see the Manin temple, a red religion with a history of more than 1,500 years, on an island in the middle of the lake. Dense and peaceful forests are surrounded by emerald lakes. The background of the forest is two snow-capped mountains with an altitude of 5,500 meters. You can also choose Namtso, the world's highest freshwater lake, where you can see precious wild animals and overlook the main peak of the Tanggula Mountains and the endless grasslands, which will definitely make you feel relaxed and happy. Or you can choose to go to Mount Everest Ali and see the magnificence of the holy mountain and holy lake. It is an ideal destination for these tourists, and our hostel also has many rich itineraries and tour dates for tourists to choose from.

3. Estimate your physical strength and adaptability.

If tourists have limited physical strength and are worried about going to high-altitude places, they will suffer from severe altitude sickness, such as headache, dizziness, shortness of breath and other symptoms. Tourists can choose the low-altitude Nyingchi tour. The average altitude of Linzhi is lower than the critical point of altitude sickness, making it the best adaptable platform for traveling to Tibet. If tourists have enough physical strength, they can choose a more distinctive hiking group. The route offers sweeping views, allowing you to experience the majestic scenery of Tibet in person. If you are still not sure which route is suitable for you, you can contact our professional travel consultants to discuss your travel needs in Tibet. We believe that our travel consultants will give you a reasonable and satisfactory suggestion and quotation.

: How to choose the appropriate way to enter Tibet

1. Train to Tibet

When tourists have enough time, they can choose to take the train to Tibet. You can take this opportunity to travel around China’s great rivers and mountains. If you come from a southern city in China, tourists can see countless strange scenery changes in China from south to north along the way. However, tourists who have limited time and do not want to stay on the train for too long can choose Chengdu, Chongqing, Xining and other places to go to Tibet. The train ride to Tibet from these places will take less time than other cities, and you may even pass a tourist station called Cona Lake (Nakqu Station) along the way, where tourists can get off and take photos. In short, choosing to enter Tibet by train can not only slow down the rise in altitude and avoid altitude sickness, but also enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau along the way. It takes about 3 days to enter Tibet by train. However, many tourists come to Tibet with a pious attitude of worship, so the train slows down and takes longer. I believe many tourists will enjoy this process more.

2. Take a plane to Linzhi to go to Tibet.

If you fly directly to Lhasa, the average altitude of Lhasa is 3,700, there are few trees, and the oxygen is only 67% of that in the mainland. Tourists who go directly to Lhasa will more or less suffer from altitude sickness, but those who come up from Linzhi basically have no problem. It is recommended that tourists entering Tibet fly directly to Nyingchi, which has an average altitude of about 3,000. For example, Bayi Town, the political, economic and cultural center of Linzhi, has an altitude of 2,800 meters, while the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon has an altitude of only 900 meters.

Moreover, the scenic spots in Linzhi are relatively scattered. Basically, you can go to the scenic spots by car, and there is relatively little walking, which can effectively avoid altitude sickness. Therefore, tourists entering Tibet first fly to Linzhi to get used to the plateau, and then slowly go to the holy city of Lhasa to adjust their physical condition and gradually adapt to the Tibetan climate.

Finally

In short, after reading the above Tibet travel plan, you will find that before you go to Tibet, you still have a lot of preparations that need to be prepared in advance, including the Tibet guide. Prepare knowledge, essential items for entering Tibet, which way to travel to Tibet, how many days to spend in Tibet, safety and transportation on the way to Tibet, etc.

When you come to the highest altitude place in the world, you can feel that it gathers the purest sunshine and collects the clearest lake water. In this last pure land, the air is almost completely pure, the horses are strong, the yaks are calm, and the endless grassland will definitely make you fascinated.

Tibet is a mountain, a source of water, and the starting point of dreams. This is undoubtedly a courageous journey that tests your will, and it is also a journey that refreshes your knowledge. A reliable travel agency will definitely allow you to experience the most authentic and unforgettable Tibetan customs, and will also make your trip to Tibet more secure.
