Tibet Tour

The best months to visit Tibet are April- May and September—October. The peak tourist season is from June to September, when the temperatures are more favorable, and the roads and passes are generally open. During this season, you can experience snow outside of Lhasa.

Yes, you are allowed to visit Tibet, but special permits are required. Foreign travelers need a Tibet Travel Permit, which can only be obtained through authorized travel agencies.

No, independent travel to Tibet is generally not permitted. Foreign travelers must be part of an organized tour with a licensed travel agency. However, any lone traveler can benefit significantly from going with an informed local guide.

Tibetan cuisine features nourishing dishes, often made from locally sourced ingredients. Staples include tsampa (roasted barley flour), momo (dumplings), and thukpa (noodle soup). Meals are generally simple, providing energy in a high-altitude environment.
