Acerca de esta actividad

Your private 6-day tour starts with a flight from Chengdu to Lhasa. A private vehicle with driver, all meals, accommodation and return flight to Chengdu are included. Your local Tibetan guide provides personalized attention and informative commentary throughout your Tibet experience.

You'll stay overnight in Lhasa and Shigatse at 3-star (or better) hotels, and spend one night in a hostel near Nam-tso Lake. No need to worry about getting your Tibetan travel permit, either — simply provide your Chinese entry visa and passport after booking, and your guide handles the permits.

The local tour operator will help you obtain your Tibet travel permit
If you do not already have a Chinese visa, you must get one before the local tour operator can start the process of getting your Tibet travel permit; to obtain a Chinese visa, you will need an 'invitation letter,' which the tour operator can give you
If you have a Chinese visa, your booking must be made at least 20 days in advance of the travel date; upon booking, contact the tour operator immediately so they can start the process of obtaining your Tibet travel permit and flights
If you do not yet have a Chinese visa, your booking must be made at least 30 days in advance of the travel date so there is enough time for you to obtain your Chinese visa before the tour operator can start the process of getting your Tibet travel permit
Please note: If you already have a Chinese visa but it's not an 'L' tourist visa, then you need to provide supplementary letters from your sponsored organization; please contact the local operator for more details
The tour guide will have your Tibet travel permit when you are picked up at your Chengdu hotel on Day 1
If you are not staying at a Chengdu hotel and instead will be flying into the Chengdu airport on the morning of Day 1, please coordinate your flights with the tour operator so you do not miss your flight to Lhasa; the tour operator will also arrange for a staff representative to deliver your Tibet travel permit to you at the Chengdu airport when you arrive
Single room or double room accommodation will be chosen at checkout. If a group with an odd number of people chooses double room accommodation, one person will stay in a single room and the extra single room price will be included in the overall price of the tour
