    Victoria

    Asked on March 2nd, 2026

    We are interested in the Tibet Tour from Lhasa to Kathmandu. As we plan to visit Nepal beforehand, we'd arrive in Lhasa from Kathmandu. However, we're a bit confused regarding the visa requirements. There are various passes and permit which are necessary to visit Tibet apart from the Chinese visa itself, as we understand so far. However, we also read about the Chinese Group Visa which can be applied for in Kathmandu. Would this be sufficient? Is it safe to expect that we'd be able receive it within a few days in Kathmandu?

    Visa
    • Great Tibet TourOperatorWritten March 2026

      We can arrange the 7-day Lhasa-Mt. Everest-Kathmandu Overland Group Tour for you in November 2026. You can fly from Kathmandu to Lhasa using a Chinese Visa. I would suggest applying for an individual Chinese Visa, as the Chinese Group Visa requires a minimum of 4 tourists to apply together. You can apply for the Chinese Visa at the nearest Chinese embassy in advance. After you book the tour, we will provide you with the necessary supporting documents for your visa application.

      Our dates are fixed and can only depart on 30 January. On 29 January we will be located in another place.

    • Great Tibet TourOperatorWritten January 2026

    Asked on September 16th, 2024

    Do they also assume the cost of the Chinese visa? Do we book through Tourradar or direct with the opeator? Are you still running the group tours on these dates? Can I apply for the visa from Canada, and join a tour from Kathmandu?

    Payments
    Tour Details
    Visa
    • Great Tibet TourOperatorWritten September 2024

      Our itinerary excludes the China Visa fee. During your China Visa application, if Chinese embassies request more details of your tour, we are happy and capable of providing you with the supporting docs for you to apply for China visa. Please note that do not mention Tibet when apply for the China Visa. We usually arrange a jeep from Gyirong Border to Kathmandu with USD80. The itinerary on Touradar includes the transfer fee, while our website excludes it, however, we can add this service per your request. You can book on both channels. We haven't a tour from Kathmandu. This itinerary is from Lhasa to Kathmandu. You can apply for China Visa in Canada. It usually takes one month to apply for the China Visa. We have a group departure on 4/10 Nov. I suggest you arrive in Lhasa on 4/10 Nov to join this tour.

    • Great Tibet TourOperatorWritten September 2023

      If you are applying for a China visa, the No.1 principle is not to mention Tibet. If you mention Tibet, China Embassy would require you to present Tibet Tourism Bureau Permit; but here in Tibet, the Tibet Tourism Bureau would NOT issue TTB until your China Visa copy is provided.
