It's important to remember that a Chinese visa alone does not grant access to Tibet; you will additionally need a separate Tibetan permit, which is a physical document rather than a stamp in your passport.

  • If you are traveling to Tibet from mainland China, you must also provide a copy of your Chinese visa via email.  
  • At the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu, you will need to complete a form and include a recent passport-sized photo.
  • To obtain your visa, you only need to submit a copy of your passport, pay the visa fee, and provide a passport-sized photo

Himalaya Heart Treks and Expedition will handle the rest for you. 

Please note that visa approval may take one to two weeks, so it is advisable to request your permit at least 15 days prior to your tour. 

For journalists, media professionals, photographers, diplomats, and government officials, the process for obtaining your Tibet travel permit will be managed by the Foreign Affairs office.
