    Claudia

    Asked on January 21st, 2025

    Do I need to apply for Chinese visa / Tibet permit in India or this process will be done by your agency in Kathmandu? How many days does it take for the visa and permit once I am in Kathmandu?

    Visa
    • Peregrine Treks and Expedition Pvt LtdOperatorWritten January 2025

      For Indian citizens, the Chinese Group Visa and Tibet Travel Permit will be processed directly through our agency in Kathmandu. It takes three official days to complete the process. To ensure a smooth application, I recommend you arrive in Kathmandu on 9th April 2025, before 9 AM. This will allow us to start your visa application process on the same day. You will receive your visa on 11th April, and your Tibet trip will commence on 12th April 2025.

      Claudia

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      What happens if the visa and permits are rejected after I arrive in Kathmandu? I read somewhere that tourists with Indian passports aren't allowed to travel on this trip, hence I was concerned.

    • Peregrine Treks and Expedition Pvt LtdOperatorWritten January 2025

      While travel to Mount Kailash is restricted for Indian passport holders, other Tibet tours, including our 8 Days Lhasa Tour, are open to Indian citizens. In the rare event your visa is rejected, we will refund the full tour cost except for the visa fee (USD 125). If the Chinese immigration finds restricted materials upon inspection, you may be denied entry at the border.

    • Peregrine Treks and Expedition Pvt LtdOperatorWritten January 2025

      The road to Shigatse, Everest Base Camp, and the Nepal-Tibet border is currently closed and is expected to reopen in late January. We have many groups scheduled for February. Please note that Tibet will be closed in March. However, you can confidently book your trip for April, as the roads will definitely be open by then.
