What to Prepare for the Tibet Travel Permit Application in Chengdu? 3 Key Points

If you plan to enter Tibet from Chengdu, you can keep these 3 points in mind for a smooth travel from Chengdu to Tibet.

First of all, it is important to book your Tibet tour from Chengdu in advance. To leave enough time for your tour arrangements and the Tibet Travel Permit application, you are advised to book your trip at least 21 days in advance. If you plan to visit Mount Kailash, you can book your trip even earlier.

Secondly, you need to obtain a Chinese Visa before applying for the Tibet Travel Permit. If you are eligible for visa-free travel to China, you can easily get the Tibet Travel Permit with your passport only. If not, you need to apply for a Chinese Visa in advance, so that you can provide copies of your passport and Chinese Visa to obtain your Tibet Travel Permit.

If you need any assistance to apply for a Chinese Visa for your Tibet tour, feel free to contact us.

Last but not least, you should make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from the first day you enter China and has at least two blank visa pages (not including the remark pages).

If you have two or more passports, please ensure you use the same one for both your Tibet Travel Permit application and booking your train or flight to Tibet. Or, you’ll not be able to board the train or flight to Tibet due to the mismatched passport information.

More Insider Tips for Traveling to Tibet from Chengdu

Chengdu offers the most frequent daily flights to Lhasa and Nyingchi. It takes around 2.5 hours from Chengdu to Lhasa and 1.5 hours from Chengdu to Nyingchi by air.

There are two airports in Chengdu, namely the Chengdu Tianfu International Airport and Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. When you book your Chengdu to Lhasa flight, please double-check your departure airport.

The overland journey from Chengdu to Lhasa via the scenic G318 National Highway is the most scenic route to Tibet. However, try to avoid the overland journey in July and August, as heavy rainfall during the rainy season can damage road conditions along the route.

Traveling from Chengdu to Lhasa via the scenic G318 National Highway could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Upon your arrival in Tibet, please take a good rest in your hotel on the first day. The rapid altitude gain from Chengdu (500m) to Lhasa (3,650m) may cause altitude sickness, so it’s important to avoid strenuous activities and allow your body enough time to adjust.

Chengdu has a humid climate, while Tibet is relatively dry. Please remember to bring moisturizing cream, lip balm, and other skin care products to help keep your skin hydrated. At the same time, drinking more water can also help relieve altitude sickness.

In addition, the ultraviolet rays in Tibet are strong, so be sure to prepare sunglasses, hats, sunscreen, and other sun protection products to avoid sunburn during your days in Tibet.

Chengdu, an important transfer hub in southwest China, is also one of the top tourist destinations in China. It is famous for lovely giant pandas, delicious Sichuan Cuisine, and leisurely lifestyle.
