Flights availability to Lhasa, Tibet
Kathmandu (Nepal) is currently the only international gateway offering direct flights to and from Lhasa (Tibet). Himalaya Airlines operates this route approximately 2–5 times a week (Mon-Fri), depending on the season and flight schedule.
The usual flight timings are:
- Lhasa – Kathmandu (LXA–KTM): 13:15 – 12:40
- Kathmandu – Lhasa (KTM–LXA): 08:30 – 12:05
In addition to the opportunity for a direct flight between Kathmandu and Lhasa, flying here provides passengers with one of the most extraordinary flying experiences. The journey through the sky above the Himalayas, the flight between Kathmandu and Lhasa, allows passengers to observe the stunning mountain views, including that of the majestic Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the world. Passengers have a chance to enjoy unique views of snow-covered Himalayan peaks.
Domestic flights are available from some Chinese major cities such as Chengdu, Beijing, Chongqing, Xining, and Kunming. The flight schedules, airlines flying, departure time, and connecting flights will depend on dates and seasons. We would be glad to assist in making domestic flights and getting the necessary Tibet travel permits for you.

Tibet Travel Permit, Tibet Group Visa & China Visa
1. What are the main differences between Tibet Travel Permit, Tibet Group Visa and China Visa?
Tibet Travel Permit (Tibet Entry Permit)
Tibet Travel Permit is a mandatory document for foreign travelers visiting Tibet Autonomous Region. It is issued by Tibet Tourism Development Department and needs to be organized in advance via an authorized Tibet travel agency.
The travelers generally need to provide a clear scanned copy of their passport and their itinerary to organize the permit. The permit is organized in advance, and the original document is required for necessary travel formalities, including air or railway check-in.
Tibet Group Visa
Tibet Group Visa is a special Chinese visa arrangement for eligible foreign travelers arriving in Tibet from Nepal. It is issued in Kathmandu as an individual paper document listing the members of the traveling group rather than being stamped in passports.
It is a generally single-entry visa with validity and travel dates indicated on the document. Eligible travelers listed on the same group visa need to enter and leave China together according to the approved itinerary.
The application requires the relevant original passports and supporting documents. Processing generally takes around 3–4 working days after online approval, although the actual time depends on the current application procedure and approval.
Ordinary China Visa
Ordinary Chinese visa is the type of visa which is issued to an individual applicant and is usually acquired via the Chinese Embassy or visa application center in the state where the applicant has the right to apply for the visa.
People coming into Tibet through the main land Chinese cities such as Chengdu, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou will have to get an ordinary visa to China unless they come under some visa exemption scheme.
2. Is there a requirement for a China visa before applying for a Tibet Group Visa, or can the China visa and Tibet Travel Permit be applied for in Kathmandu?
You usually do not have to apply for the Chinese visa in your own country before you can apply for the Tibet Group Visa in Kathmandu. The processes of obtaining these two documents are independent of each other.
You have two typical options for planning your trip:
Option A: Direct entrance into Tibet from Nepal
- The application for the Tibet Travel Permit can be done in advance based on the scanned copies of your passport and planned itinerary.
- After arrival in Kathmandu, eligible travelers can apply for the Tibet Group Visa based on the local application procedure.
- The original passport and all other required documents have to be presented for the visa formalities.
- As soon as the visa is issued and required travel documents are in place, you can depart for Tibet by a direct flight or overland route.
- Nowadays, you can fly to Lhasa (Tibet) with your ordinary China visa (instead of Tibet group visa) and Tibet travel permit.
Option B: Entering Tibet from mainland China
- Applying for an appropriate Chinese visa in advance, unless you are eligible for visa-free entry into China.
- Organizing your Tibet Travel Permit via an official Tibet travel agency prior to traveling to Tibet.
- Visiting mainland China, e.g., Chengdu or Beijing, or Kathmandu (Nepal) before entering Tibet.
- The Tibet Travel Permit is to be presented prior to boarding a flight or train to Tibet.
This Tibet Travel Permit can be organized beforehand; however, how you will receive it depends on your itinerary. The stopover in mainland China is not a rule (you can collect it at the airport of Chinese city).
Remark: If you are eligible for China's visa-free entry policy, you will not need an ordinary Chinese visa. Nevertheless, you still need a Tibet Travel Permit.
3. Is it possible to apply for the Tibet Group Visa from afar, or should I be present in Kathmandu? Am I able to skip a number of days in Nepal?
Preparations for the application can start even prior to arriving in Kathmandu. However, the official application process will involve submitting your passport by the relevant visa application process in Kathmandu.
As per the current procedure for applying for Chinese visas, the applicants are required to make an initial online application with you Nepal arrival stamp, PP size photograph and copy of passport (approval time 2-4 working days). Once the application is accepted for submission, the passport as well as other documents will have to be submitted to the visa application center (approval time 3-4 working days).
In respect of our Tibet Group Visa arrangements, it is recommended that you plan for enough time in Kathmandu to submit your passport, process it, and pick it up.
The Tibet Travel Permit is a different document altogether, which can be processed even before arriving in Kathmandu by way of the scanned passports and proposed itinerary.
4. Is the Tibet Travel Permit processed along with the visa in Kathmandu, or is it something that needs to be done in advance?
The Tibet Travel Permit and the Tibet Group Visa are two different documents that are processed separately.
- Tibet Travel Permit: This is processed ahead of time with copies of passports and the itinerary of Tibet. It is processed by our Tibet partner prior to your visit to Tibet.
- Tibet Group Visa: This is processed after you arrive in Kathmandu, following the procedure for application and submitting of passport.
It is recommended to send your passports and information as early as possible so that it could be processed before arriving in Nepal.
5. If I arrive in Kathmandu on Thursday and submit my application for Tibet Group Visa on the same day, when can I pick up the visa?
The processing time of the visa should be confirmed when your application is officially accepted for submission. In any case, let us take an example for planning purposes, if the preliminary check of the application is complete and the original passport is officially submitted on Thursday morning, the four-day processing period will be as follows:
- Thursday: The first working day
- Friday: The second working day
- Saturday and Sunday: Weekend days
- Monday: The third working day
- Tuesday: The fourth working day
Therefore, the pick-up may be on Tuesday, provided that there are no public holidays or additional requirements for documentation.
It should be noted that the preliminary check of your application online (which takes 2-5 working days) is compulsory before the official submission of the passport. Therefore, arriving in Kathmandu on Thursday does not guarantee that the application for the visa may be officially submitted on the same day.
Our recommendation: If you plan to travel to Tibet from Kathmandu immediately, it will be better to arrive on Sunday or Monday. We always recommend allowing some additional time rather than making onward flight arrangements based on a guaranteed visa collection date.
6. What do I need to be aware of before applying for a Chinese visa in my own country?
If you want to visit Tibet, apply for a Chinese visa and make sure that you fill out your application with correct information.
We recommend:
- Send us your itinerary with the places and dates you would like to visit.
- Use hotel and flight arrangements if asked.
- Make sure your visa application is consistent with the information you have on your passport.
- Make sure you can enter the number of times and stay in China as planned.
- Don’t mentioned, you are going to Tibet, it might be challenging to get China visa.
7. Which nationalities are eligible for China's unilateral visa-free entry policy?
China now allows travelers holding ordinary passports from certain countries visa-free access to mainland China for leisure travel, work, visiting friends and relatives, exchange visits and transit travel.
According to the policy information available as of November 2026, the countries covered include:
Europe (35 countries): Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom.

Eligible ordinary passport holders can generally stay for up to 30 days per entry for permitted purposes. Different conditions may apply depending on nationality and the applicable visa-exemption agreement.
8. Is it true that I can travel to Tibet visa-free under visa exemption policy?
That is not completely true. The visa exemption allows a traveler not to obtain a regular Chinese visa, however the Tibet Travel Permit will still be required by foreigners entering the Tibet Autonomous Region.
A traveler flying direct to Lhasa from Kathmandu or overland to Tibet from Nepal has to ensure the relevant visa exemption for his/her particular passport nationality and route of travel before booking the tickets.
The team will confirm the relevant visa and permits requirements based on each traveler's passport nationality, dates of travel and travel route.
Visa policies are subject to change; therefore it is recommended that travelers always verify their eligibility prior to making any bookings.

Best season to visit Nepal and Tibet
Nepal:
Nepal is ideal to visit all around the year and each season has some uniqueness to offer. But, Spring (Mar-May) seasons are considered best followed by the Autumn (Sep-Nov) season to travel to Nepal. The weather is moderate, the skies are clear, and the temperature during the day is warm and colder in the mountains than in the lower regions.
During winter (Dec-Feb), it is slightly warm during the day and cold in the morning and night. Expect snowfalls in the higher regions. But, the views are clear and you can still enjoy traveling during the winter season in Nepal.
Tibet:
It is highly recommended for tourists to choose May to September months for visiting Tibet as the weather conditions are often suitable for sightseeing and mountain views.
Another possible period for traveling to Tibet is April, October and November. Nevertheless, different regions of the Tibetan Plateau have different weather conditions and sometimes rain may cause problems on some roads.
Spring and fall are the periods for tourists who want to visit the northern base-camp area of the Mount Everest, though you can never have full guarantee of seeing the mountains.
The winter season is very cold almost everywhere in Tibet. Moreover, there might be travel restrictions or seasonal closures for foreigners in February and March.
Weather conditions, roads and permits should always be checked according to your planned visiting periods.
Altitude sickness
Tibet is a high-altitude destination, and travelers should understand the possible effects of reduced oxygen availability. Lhasa is approximately 3,650 metres above sea level, while the Everest Base Camp region is considerably higher.
Altitude sickness can affect anyone, regardless of age or physical fitness. Common symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue and difficulty sleeping. More serious symptoms can include confusion, loss of coordination and breathing difficulties.
Altitude Sickness Prevention:
To reduce the risk:
- Allow sufficient time for acclimatization after arriving in Lhasa.
- Follow a gradual travel itinerary and avoid ascending to higher sleeping altitudes too quickly.
- Avoid strenuous activities during the initial acclimatization period.
- Avoid alcohol during the first 48 hours at high altitude.
- Inform your guide immediately if you experience symptoms.
- Do not continue ascending if you develop symptoms of altitude sickness.
- Seek medical attention if symptoms become severe or worsen.
Nepal: Altitude sickness is there in the higher regions. During the Nepal visit, we travel to most of the lower regions and there is no fear of getting altitude sickness. Still, we recommend you do some exercises and get fit and healthy for the travel.
Tibet: As mentioned earlier, Tibet is on a high plateau and its elevation is higher compared to Nepal. It has an initial altitude at Lhasa of approx. 3650m from the sea level. So, we recommend you before visiting Tibet, get as fit and healthy as possible, both physically and mentally. It is advised that travelers having records of heart, lung, or other organ problems or anemia must consult their doctor before traveling to Tibet. If anyone planning to travel to Northern EBC, we advise you to spend at least 2-3 days in Lhasa city to acclimatize and adjust to the temperature. During the Tibet visit, we have the facility of oxygen cylinders for emergency and traveler’s safety.
