  • Forbidden Lhasa and Everest Base Camp - 9 Days reviewer 1
    · August 13th, 2023
    Attempted to book the Forbidden Lhasa and Everest Base Camp tour with Adventure Himalayan Travels. Caveat emptor (buyer beware): You cannot enter Lhasa by air without using a China gateway city (Chengdu). You cannot enter Lhasa without a Tibet permit. To get a Tibet permit you must spend five days in Nepal and then fly to Chengdu and then to Lhasa. The PRC will not issue a China visa if you book travel to Tibet unless your tour operator has already obtained a Tibet permit. The tour operator does not disclose any of this in their brochure and you can be stuck with large expense.

    Samantha

    Asked on January 6th, 2024

    when should I be in Katmandu in order to get the visa? I have to stay to a hotel there, right? could it be, that I don't get the Visa to get in Tibet? if so what about the payment? the flight to Lhasa can you make the booking? I guess the whole group has to be on the same flight?

    Visa
    • Adventure Himalayan TravelsOperatorWritten January 2024

      If you want to do a visa process in your country it will be possible but you have to process a Chinese visa first then send me a copy of the visa for us to apply for the Tibet entry permit. One important thing to inform you for the Chinese visa process, don't tell you will go to Tibet when you apply the visa in your country, because if you tell you will go to Tibet, then they don't give visa, therefore you will have to tell that you will go to China.

    Gregory

    Asked on August 24th, 2023

    Is there anywhere along the route that bathroom breaks would be available? My wife is 81 and in much better shape than me at 75. We have no problems with any of the steps or hikes that we need to do. Our only concern is for the long car rides.

      Gregory

      TravelerWritten August 2023

      As far as when we apply for the China permit, to do Beijing and Xian, we know that we are not supposed to say anything about Tibet. Would you be able to give us any advice about how we go about getting a permit from China to do Beijing and Xian?

    • Adventure Himalayan TravelsOperatorWritten August 2023

      If your wife is 81 and in better shape then in my opinion it will not be a problem for her to do this tour. There will be about 200-300 km drive some days which is around 6-7 hours ride. I hope it will not be trouble for you because of this. Since it is private car, you can take bathroom breaks whenever you want to along the way. There are restrooms available some places along the way.

    • Adventure Himalayan TravelsOperatorWritten August 2023

      If you wish to apply for a Chinese visa by yourself, then we ask you to not mention anything about visiting Tibet to the Chinese embassy as they will reject your visa if you tell them you will be going to Tibet. Just tell them you will be visiting places in China. I am not able to help you for a permit to visit Beijing and Xian as we are not experts for the places in China. We only operate within Tibet.
