Tibet City GuideA great trip to the Roof of the World
City of the Sun, the political and spiritual regional capital of Tibet with its main attractions such as the huge Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple and the Norbulingka.
The second largest city in Tibet featured its famous Tashilhunpo Monastery built in 1447 - the seat of Panchen Lama.
The cradle of Tibetan Civilization, which offers a number of side trips that illustrate Tibet's early history.
If you like wildlife, nature and exotic Khampa culture, don't hesitate to come to Chamdo! Ancient Tea-Horse Road (South Silk Road) is another feature of Chamdo Region.
Nakchu's beauty lies in its lakes, mountains and grasslands. The city is the headstream of Bon, the indigenous religion of Tibet.
It is hard to imagine what transcendent beauty is presented in Ngari, the highest point on the Qingzang (Qinghai-Tibet) Plateau, the pinnacle of the 'roof of the world'.
Here is unexpectedly mild and fertile area. A considerable distribution of lakes, glaciers and waterfalls makes the region full of breathtaking examples of spectacular natural wonders.
Among the cities above, Lhasa, Shigatse, Nakchu and Nyingchi have become the major Tibetan tourist destinations of China Tour Packages, thanks to the commencement of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway since 2006.
Monastery - the spiritual home of Tibetans, and also the best for exploring the Tibetan history, religion and culture.
The holiness and mystery of Tibet lies in the local exotic people, religious belief and local customs.
Tibet – a land nearest to the sun highlighted by all kinds of natural wonders: snow-capped mountains, sacred lakes, vast glaciers...

Hi, we are planning a 4 days trips from dubai to tibet or nepal, would it be ok to get a tour or some suggestion? thank you

I think so, you'd better book a tour through a travel company, since private visitors are not allowed to Tibet.

You may book a tour through this very website, and then they may prepare everything well for you. As for the exchange, you may just change your euros into RMB at the airport when you arrive in China.

did indonesian passport have to obtain visa of tibet? any government official representative in Indonesia ? Thaks
Owen :4/5/2010 9:33:00 PM
For Indonesian passport holders, you have to apply for a China visa from the local China Embassy. If you will visit Tibet, you also have to apply for a Tibet Entry Permit through an authorized China travel agency or through Tibet Tourism Bureau directly.

Ellie :9/10/2009 8:02:00 PM
Hi, Alex. I get that foreigners are not allowed to visit the Tibet alone. I think you need a travel agency to assist you with the tour, train ticket and Tibet Permit togather.

Hello,
I am currently travelling in India and would like to make my way to Chengdu through Nepal and Tibet at the beginning of March. I plan to fly to Kathmandu. Is there any connection between Kathmandu, Lhasa and Chengdu? If so, please advise on prices?
Thank you for any help?
