Tibet Transporation FAQ'S page provide you with the useful information about flights and train to/from Lhasa,Tibet.
Q: Can you help buy the domestic flight ticket in China?
A: Yes, we can help buy all domestic flight tickets within China.
Q: Can you buy e-ticket for me?
A: Yes. Right now, many air companies in China are selling e-ticket to travelers. It is very convenient to use, and as travel agent we can hold and book your air tickets without showing the Tibet Travel permits beforehand and provide the Tibet travel permits reference to the airline agent later. We would love to help you buy the e-tickets from the ticket office but you do not need to hold the paper ticket, all you have to do is to print out your flight booking PNR or reference codes as well as flight schedule, and take your valid passport and the Tibet Travel permits to get the boarding pass without any issue.
Q: Is it easy to purchase a train ticket to Tibet now?
A: The popularity of train travel to Tibet has resulted in the huge demand for Tibet train tickets among visitors. It's very difficult for individual travelers to get a ticket on their own. Reliable travel agencies can NOT guarantee successful booking. We recommend you fly into Tibet and return by a train.
Q: Do I need a heath report when I travel by train to Tibet?
A: All travelers are required to complete a heath report on the train to Tibet.
Q: What vehicle do you use in Tibet?
A: We offer tour vans (9-14 seats), mini tour bus or bigger tour bus (from 19 to 40 seats) and also 4WD tour vehicles, while the 4WD is only for the deluxe and private tours, since it costs not efficiently and generally more expensive as it can be only good for 2-4 travelers plus one tour guide and one driver, so it is more expensive if your own tour group is just with 2 or 3 persons. On the other hand, the road condition in Tibet is better and better, mini tour vans and tour buses are more and more popular even for Everest Base Camp trip and Mt.Kailash trip, it becomes more comfortable and cheaper due to more space and more tourists sharing the cost.

Q: How Many nights and days shall I need for the trip in Tibet?
A: It depends. It depends on where you go, what time to take the trip, and what altitude you will experience and how many people there are in the group, whether you have very young or very old in your tour party,and your own time-frame and your trip style. Normally 3-7 days are good for easy culture city tour in Lhasa, Tsetang, Gyantse, Shigatse, Namtso. 8-10 days are good for tour with Everest Base Camp, 12-14 days are good for Ganden Samye Trekking, Old Tingri-Everest Trekking, Shalu to Nartang Monastery trekking, Tsurphu Yangpachen Monastery Trekking. and 18-22 days are good for Overland biking from Lhasa to Kathmandu, 13-16 dasy are good for Kailash Manasarovar Sacred Journeys.
Q: Can I design the tour itinerary by myself?
A: Maybe, but as we are Lhasa based Local Tibet Travel Agency, we know the road condition and the road distance very well, it is suggested for us to design a more reasonable Tibet tour itinerary for you, on the other hand you can specify your very detailed tour requests, unique requirements, interests, likes and dislikes, etc, we can customize a trip per your own wish. More over, if you have got one itinerary from other agents, especially from those who claim themselves are Lhasa based but actually they just sell you something in offices outisde of Lhasa on internet.
Q: Is the tour itinerary flexible per my wish?
A: No, not exactly, we need to confirm a tour itinerary before you come to Lhasa because different itinerary is involved with different permits situation (for example, Kailash tour needs Military permits, Everest tour needs Alien's Travel Permit, Tibetan-Overseas needs different permits, etc), on the other hand, we do offer some flexibilities especially if your tour scheudle is not so busy a day, you can change the city tour programs sightseeing order, decide what time to begin the trip, what time to finish the sightseeing, what time to have the meals, what time to busy something, etc. Further more, if your trip is a fixed Tibet join in tour, the trip itinerary is not flexible, since there are many other tourists taking the same itinerary.
Q: If we feel quite bad due to the high altitude, shall I be allowed to change the itinerary?
A: Well we do give our clients understanding about their health issue, if they meet heave altitude issue when in Tibet, we can talk with you for a plan B, if the trip is almost finished, there is no refund, or if your trip is just at the beginning, we will refund you some money such as the entrance tickets, and the hotel and car rental cancellation charge. We do not charge you outrageously as other agents did but they got bad reputation. If you are a wise traveller, you can easily check out which is good one and which is not.
Q: If my flights or train delayed or were cancelled urgently, lets say one day in advance, will you be able to help us adjust the tour itinerary accordingly?
A: Yes, we have to. We are able to ajust the tour program very well if there are some urgent schedule changes because of flights or trains. But there is no refund from our ground tour section because all the ground Tibet tour bookings are fixed well before you enter Tibet, on the other hand if there is some loss resulted from the train or flight, the airline company or train company will have to offer some compensations accordingly, for egample, provide you accommodation, arrange you to next train or flights suitable.
