Travelers will need a Tibet Travel Permit, which is arranged by the tour operator in Lhasa, Tibet. If you plan to visit Everest Base Camp, an additional permit may be required. A valid Chinese visa is mandatory to apply for these permits. Be sure to carry your passport and any provided documents during the tour.

The tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a great time and great feel for Tibet. Namtso was the most beautiful in Asia and Mt. Everest was something-else that one should visit one time in his/her life. We would highly recommend Adventures In Tibet Travel and Tour Company to have an authentic trip in Tibet!
