Tibet Visa and requirements

Himalayas are the highest mountain range in the world. Running across 5 different countries from Myanmar in the east to Afghanistan in the west, Himalayas are simply spectacular to watch. With a stretch of more than 1500km, the highest of the mountains are situated between Pakistan and Tibet with Nepal in the middle. 8 out of 10 highest mountains (all above 8000m) are situated in the Himalayas including Everest. On the other hand, Pakistan has the 2nd highest mountain Kora Kora (K2) and 42 peaks among the tallest 100 mountains in the world.

A jewel in the Himalayas, Tibet is as big on natural beauty as it is on spirituality. Source of no lesser rivers than the Yangtze, Yellow, Mekong, Indus, and the Ganges – to name but a few – and surrounded by the jagged peaks of the highest mountains in the world, Tibet's landscape makes you weak in the knees. 

In the shadow of Everest, the Tibetan people have developed a gentle, mysterious culture, and visitors will discover a place lined with stupas and adorned with fluttering prayer flags. The influence of Tibetan Buddhism can be seen everywhere, from old citizens spinning prayer wheels to 1,300-year-old Lhasa and its otherworldly Potala Palace, home to Dalai Lamas past. The capital's name means, literally, "Holy Land," and it certainly is.

Try not to attempt to get a Chinese visa from some other nation on the off chance that you enter Tibet from Nepal, as it won't be legitimate for passage.

If you enter Tibet from mainland China, however, the only two documents you need to visit Tibet are a Tibet Visa (also known as a Tibet Travel Permit) and an Alien’s Travel Permit. The former allows you to travel to Tibet, while the latter guarantees your Everest Base Camp tour.

As a well-established Tibet tour operator, Adventure Mission Nepal Treks and Expedition can help tourists to not only customize their itineraries but also get these two documents free of charge.
