About Visa
Nepalese visa
is readily available at the Tribhuvan International Airport or any other land entry points
on payment of visa fee of USD 30 (1st visit) & USD 50 (2nd visit)
All tourists
visiting Tibet need not apply for Chinese visa in their home country. They can obtain
Chinese visa in Kathmandu when they join our organised tour. Those who arrive in Kathmandu
with a Chinese visa (issued by Chinese embassies outside Kathmandu) will have that visa
cancelled.
Diplomatic
passport holders must get clearance from Beijing for travel into Tibet which often takes
long time. It is advisable to travel on non-diplomatic passport, if you have one.
We require
minimum 14 days notice to process your Tibet permit/Chinese visa. Please provide
photocopies of your passport for processing your Tibet permit/Chinese visa. Urgent fee for
late comers will attract USD 30 per person.

Altitude Sickness
Those with chronic health
problems should consult a doctor before making travel plans. Most people visiting Tibet
rarely suffer more than mild discomfort before getting acclimatised. Best remedial measure
is not to engage in physically exhausting activities. Drink plenty of water, stay warm
& have a positive mental disposition. If you get sick take `diamox' tablets as per
your physician's instruction.
