Tibet Travel FAQs

  • 1. What Are the Must-see Attractions in Tibet?

    Begin your tour in Lhasa, the spiritual heart of Tibet, where breathtaking Buddhist architecture awaits. Marvel at the majestic Potala Palace, join pilgrims in the sacred Barkhor Street kora, and admire the revered life-sized statue of the 12-year-old Buddha in Jokhang Temple.

    Delve deeper into Tibetan Buddhism at the "Great Three Gelugpa Monasteries"—Drepung, Sera, and Ganden—where you can witness monastic life and ancient rituals.

    For serenity, visit the stunning Namtso Lake (about 250km from Lhasa), the world's highest saltwater lake, offering peaceful meditation and breathtaking views.

    If your dream is to witness Mount Everest, the Everest Base Camp (EBC) is your ultimate destination. Along the way from Lhasa, be captivated by the turquoise waters of Yamdrok Lake, the towering Karola Glacier, and the historic Palcho Monastery in Gyantse, home to the exquisite Nepali-style Kumbum Stupa.

    Continue to Shigatse to explore the legendary Tashilhunpo Monastery, before ascending the Gawu La Pass (5,198m) for a panoramic view of the Himalayan Range. At EBC, visit Rongbuk Monastery, the highest Buddhist monastery in the world.

  • 2. How Many Days Does It Take to Tour Tibet?

    The ideal duration for your Tibet tour depends on your interests, destinations you wish to visit, and activities you plan to experience.  

    For a classic Lhasa tour, we recommend allocating 4 days to explore the city's cultural highlights. If you'd like to include the breathtaking Namtso Lake, please add 2 more days to accommodate the scenic drive. The popular Lhasa to Everest Base Camp (EBC) itinerary typically requires 8 days——this includes 3 days in Lhasa for sightseeing and acclimatization, followed by visits to EBC on days 4-5 before returning to Lhasa.  

    For travelers combining Tibet with Nepal, the 7-day Lhasa to Kathmandu overland tour via EBC makes an excellent choice, crossing into Nepal on the final day. Those seeking a spiritual tour may consider the 15-day Mount Kailash pilgrimage tour in Ngari. Adventure enthusiasts can choose from various trekking or cycling itineraries ranging from 5 to 23 days depending on the route and difficulty level.  

    Our travel consultants would be delighted to help customize your perfect Tibet itinerary based on your specific interests and time availability.

  • 3. What Is the Best Time to Tour Tibet?

    Tibet offers rewarding travel experiences throughout the year, with the exception of late February through March when some areas may be less accessible. The optimal periods for visiting are from April to early June and September to October, when pleasant weather conditions, clear skies, and minimal rainfall create perfect conditions for outdoor exploration and sightseeing.

    Travelers who like peace and quiet may prefer visiting between November and mid-February during Tibet's off-season. This period offers significant savings on accommodations, fewer crowds at major attractions, a particularly strong spiritual atmosphere at monasteries, and excellent opportunities to observe migratory birds around Tibet's lakes.

    For those interested in Tibetan culture, timing your visit to coincide with major festivals can provide unforgettable experiences. Key events include the Saga Dawa Festival (May/June), Shoton Festival (August), Tsongkhapa Butter Lamp Festival (December), and Losar (Tibetan New Year in February). These vibrant celebrations offer unique insights into Tibet's rich religious traditions and cultural heritage.

    No matter when you choose to visit, Tibet's breathtaking landscapes and profound cultural treasures await discovery.

  • 4. Should I Tour Lhasa by Airplane or Tibet Train?

    For travelers with sufficient time, taking the train to Lhasa is highly recommended as the optimal way to reach Tibet. This scenic rail tour offers significant advantages over flying——it's more economical, reliably punctual, and allows for gradual altitude acclimatization, which helps minimize potential altitude sickness.  

    The Qinghai-Tibet railway provides one of the world's most spectacular train rides, particularly the breathtaking section between Golmud and Lhasa. Unlike air travel, this overland adventure treats passengers to ever-changing vistas of Tibet's stunning landscapes, creating an authentic sense of tour that flying simply cannot match. The slow ascent through varying terrain makes this not just transportation, but an unforgettable part of your Tibetan experience.  

    For these reasons, we strongly suggest considering the train as your preferred method of reaching the Roof of the World. The combination of practical benefits and extraordinary scenery makes it a highlight for many visitors to Tibet.

  • 5. How to Prevent Acute Altitude Sickness When Touring Tibet?

    All travelers may experience mild altitude-related symptoms within 2-3 hours of arriving in Lhasa, including an elevated heart rate, slight breathlessness, dizziness, or a mild headache. These reactions are normal—simply remain relaxed and avoid overexertion.  

    We strongly recommend taking it easy upon arrival. Resting at your hotel and staying well-hydrated will help your body adjust smoothly. When planning your itinerary, avoid ascending more than 1,500–2,500 meters in a single day, as gradual acclimatization is key to preventing altitude sickness.  

    A helpful strategy is to explore higher elevations during the day while sleeping at lower altitudes at night. Even in summer, pack a warm down jacket, as temperatures drop significantly at high mountain passes—staying warm reduces the risk of catching a cold, which can worsen altitude effects.  

    Rest assured, all our Tibet tour is carefully designed by local experts, with oxygen supplies and medical support (including hyperbaric oxygen chambers at extreme locations like Everest Base Camp and Mount Kailash) readily available. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, ensuring a rewarding and worry-free adventure in Tibet.

The city's international influences shine through its excellent Nepali and Indian restaurants, serving flavorful curries, yak steaks, butter chicken, and tikka masala.  

    Around bustling Barkhor Street, diners can choose from fiery Sichuan flavors to familiar Western dishes. Vegetarians will find plenty of satisfying options too, from veggie momos to mushroom masala. Those joining our small group tours can even enjoy a special welcome banquet featuring local delicacies.
