Ethic Himalaya Treks & Expedition (P) Ltd is pleased to share some exciting news about the re-opening of Tibet tours in April 2023. If you are planning a trip to the highest plateau in the world - Tibet, please let us know. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the borders between Nepal and Tibet, and China have been closed, which also affected Tibet tours. However, we are happy to inform you that we will resume our operations in April 2023.
Tibet, an enchanting region nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, is preparing to welcome back foreign tourists in April 2023. This move is a significant step towards normalcy after a long period of travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent reports indicate that foreign visitors can access Tibet via Nepal, with entry through the Zhangmu land port at the border between Nepal and Tibet. This decision is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the tourism industry in Tibet, which has suffered a great deal due to the pandemic and travel restrictions.
Tibet's reopening for foreign tourists comes after a year-long closure due to the pandemic. During this period, only a limited number of domestic tourists were allowed to enter. However, with the situation now under control and vaccinations on the rise, the authorities have decided to allow foreign visitors to return to Tibet.
Tibet is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, rich culture, and ancient history, making it a popular destination for travelers from around the world. Visitors can explore the awe-inspiring Potala Palace, wander through the bustling markets of Lhasa, and marvel at the breathtaking views of Mount Everest and other Himalayan peaks.
It is essential to note that all foreign travelers must obtain the necessary permits from the Tibetan Tourism Bureau and adhere to COVID-19 protocols and guidelines during their stay in Tibet. Additionally, visitors must comply with the immigration and quarantine regulations set forth by both Nepal and Tibet.
Overall, the reopening of Tibet for foreign tourists is a positive development and is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the local economy and tourism industry. If you've been dreaming of visiting Tibet, now is the time to start planning your trip.
From April 2023, Tibet will be open to all foreign tourists from Nepal. We have been eagerly waiting for news about Tibet tours and the border between Nepal and China, and now we are excited to announce that it's time to plan your Nepal Tibet tour in a single visit. You can explore Tibet's famous landmarks such as the Dalai Lama's Palace - Potala Palace, and also enjoy other activities like a Kathmandu heritage tour, Everest Base Camp Trekking, hiking in Nepal, Tibet Overland tour with Everest Base camp from the North face, Holy Mountain Kailash & Lake Manasarovar tour, and Bhutan tour with a popular Tiger's Nest monastery hike.

As per the latest official announcement, China has reopened for tourists from January 8th, 2023, with a requirement for a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours before arrival. We strongly suggest that you obtain travel insurance that includes coverage for COVID-19 and a certificate of vaccination.
Getting a Tibet travel permit is a process that requires some advance planning. To apply for the permit, you will need to provide a copy of your passport that is valid for at least six months, along with your vaccination card and travel insurance details. The application for the permit is submitted to the Tibet Tourist Bureau in Lhasa. Once your application is approved, a scanned copy of your travel permit will be sent to you via email. With the permit, you can then apply for your Chinese visa at the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu. We recommend starting the application process well in advance of your intended travel dates to ensure you have enough time to obtain the necessary documents and permits.
Based on the latest Tibet travel protocol, we require the following documents to process your Tibet travel permit: a copy of your passport, travel insurance that includes coverage for COVID-19, your vaccination card, and a recent photograph. Please ensure that all the information provided is accurate and up-to-date. We recommend that you start preparing these documents well in advance to avoid any last-minute complications.
To ensure a smooth and hassle-free trip to Tibet, we require a photocopy of your passport at least 15 days in advance. This will allow us to start the documentation process, including applying for your Tibet travel permit and visa. Once your permit has been issued, we will require your original passport at least four days in advance to finalize the visa process. Please note that your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Tibet. We recommend that you make a copy of your passport and keep it with you at all times during your trip.
