    Asked on July 11th, 2024

    Do I need any VISA for this tour?

    Visa
    • Female Guide HolidayOperatorWritten July 2024

      Yes, you need a visa to enter to Tibet, you will get a paper visa from Chinese Embassy in Nepal. To get a visa, it will take 3 business days, and you have to arrive in Nepal before 4 days of the departure, as we need to submit original Passport and PP size of photo. For Canadian, US and Brazilian Passport holder, there will be incurred additional visa fees for Tibet.

      TravelerWritten July 2024

      What would be the additional costs to me for the visa processing? Can this Visa not be processed ahead of time in another country? I will be in India for couple of weeks prior to coming to Nepal to join this trip. My next question is while I am waiting for the visa processing for 4 days, do I need to stay in Kathmandu or I could go around to see other parts of Nepal?

    • Female Guide HolidayOperatorWritten July 2024

      The applicable visa fee will be USD 200/person. We need an original passport to process the visa, so need to come earlier. For the rest of the days you can explore the rest of the places of Nepal. Pls note that the trip will be on group basis.
