Top 1 Think about where you will visit in Tibet
This is the most important, because the international travelers must apply for Tibet Travel Permit and then take it to visit Tibet. For different Tibet areas, travelers will need to apply for different permits.
Firstly, travelers need apply for Tibet Tourism Bureau Permit, which is a must-have permission from Chinese government for all foreign tourists entering to Tibet area from mainland China or other countries. Secondly, if you want to visit sensitive areas or border regions like Mt. Kailash, you need apply for Military and PSB Permits; and if you want to visit the EBC, Samye Monastery and Nyinchi, Alien’s Travel Permit is necessary. Of course, the application of the permits is not your business, and you just need to choose a reliable travel agency in Tibet. (Tibet Attractions)

2. Entering Tibet from Kathmandu in Nepal: the first issue you should think about is the Tibet Group Visa. Please read more about what it is, how should apply for, how when and where to apply for. (Tibet Group Visa)
Top 4 Keep Healthy
All Tibet tours must be booked at least 20 days in advance. Therefore, the international travelers need not only contact a local Tibet travel agency for booking the itinerary, but also keep healthy and not catch even a cold before entering in Tibet, as illness makes any altitude sickness feel worse. We advise the travelers do some aerobic exercise prior to two or three months, take it easy, rest well, keep warm, drink a lot of water and eat simply to reduce altitude sickness symptoms.

Top 5 Choose Best Time to Go
As a Tibet local travel agency, it is also a bit difficult to answer when the best time to visit Tibet is, because there are different landscapes to each season. Read the pros and cons of four seasons a year.
Generally, the months of May to October are the best time, when the weather is comfortable and oxygen content is also higher than others. It is the travel golden season to travel Tibet. If you want to visit in the low season about from December to February, and April of the next year, you will enjoy a less-crowded trip and various discounts of hotels and travel service fee of a agency.
From the late February to the early April, Tibet is usually closed for the politically sensitive time of Tibet New Year and the cold weather. So we suggest you to plan a Tibet tour from April 10 to the ending time before February 25 of next year, email us via contact@tour-tibet.com to get the exact travel guide information.
