Tibet Travel and Vacation – Good to know
To enter Tibet, you need a visa, which must be applied for before arrival. A visa for Tibet is not available on-site. You must apply for the visa online or through a travel agency that can organize your travel permit. It is important that your visa is in your passport before the trip.
The Lhasa Gonggar Airport is the best airport for your arrival in Tibet. It offers domestic flights from cities like Beijing and Chengdu. For international connections, you typically fly to Chengdu and then take a domestic flight to Lhasa. Be sure to book your flights in advance to secure the best prices.
The local currency in Tibet is the Chinese Yuan (CNY). Credit cards are accepted in big cities, but it is advisable to always have cash on hand, especially in rural areas where the infrastructure can be limited. ATMs are available in Lhasa, but not everywhere. Bring enough cash for your trip.
Before traveling to Tibet, you should inquire about necessary vaccinations. Vaccinations against hepatitis A and typhoid are recommended. A travel insurance is also very important to cover unexpected medical costs, especially for altitude sickness. Check your insurance coverage for Tibet-specific regulations.
To drive in Tibet, you need an international driver's license and possibly a special permit. Check the local regulations before you hit the road. For a SIM card, you can purchase it at the airport or in Lhasa. Providers like China Mobile offer affordable packages for tourists, but make sure your phone is unlocked.
