What to Prepare to Visit Tibet in 2023?
According to the new policy, tourists do not need to provide health certificates, like the Green Health Code and proof of a negative nucleic acid test, to take a flight or train to Tibet. This makes traveling to Tibet in 2023 much easier.
First of all, you need to obtain a Tibet Travel Permit, which is a must for all international travelers to enter Tibet, including expats in China. The permit cannot be applied in the name of an individual, and we can help you to get it.
Your Chinese Visa, passport (valid for a least 6 months), as well as a working certificate if you work in the mainland of China or admission certificate if you study in the mainland of China are required, to apply for the Tibet Permit.

The regulations and permit requirements for visiting Tibet can change frequently, so it is important to stay up-to-date on the latest information. You should also be aware that some countries have political tensions with China that may affect their citizens' ability to travel to Tibet.

Whether you begin your trek at a road head or fly into a remote mountain airstrip, a large part of it will be in the Middle Hills region at elevations between 500 and 3000 meters. While trekking you will see the great diversity of Nepal. Villages embrace many ethnic groups and cultures. The terrain changes from tropical jungle to high-glaciated peaks in only 150 km. You will experience unbeatable panoramic views of mountains, a diversity of landscape, flora and fauna, colorful cultures, friendly people and long gone ancient history. Trekkers leave Nepal with grand tales to share with their family and friends.

It is possible to trek all year around in Nepal depending on where you go. Spring and autumn (February through May and September through November) are the most popular trekking seasons with clear skies and warm days. Winter (December through January) can be very cold at high altitudes and mountain passes are snowbound. Trekking at low altitudes is possible during this time of the year. Monsoon (June through August) brings humid heat and heavy rain making the trails slippery. However, trekking regions like Mustang and Dolpo are unaffected by the monsoon because they lie north of the Himalayan where the rain clouds do not reach. But, the excitement varies in all season. For instance, winter season is good for viewing beautiful mountain-view, summer is food for greenery, floods and waterfalls and autumn is good for watching feast and festivals of various tribes etc.
Can you describe me types of Trek?
Tea House Trek:
Along the popular trekking routes as such Everest, Annapurna and Langtang region, there are lots of trail-side lodges and inns where we can take food and stay overnight in lodges and inns. We are not equipped with camping gear. We take along with us the apparel that we need during the trek - cameras, medical kits, and other things of a personal nature. A guide and a porter or two accompany you. In Nepal it is hard to find yourself in complete wilderness until you are above 4,000m (12,000ft). Still, you will sometimes encounter taut nomad people during summer when they herd highland-cattle for grazing.
Camping Trek:
You’re full catered for camping. All the camping gear including foodstuff, tents, sleeping bags, medical kits and other relevant stuff will be carried along the trek by our porters and packed animals. We pitch the camp on marshland or where the most suitable is and eat the food that our trained cooks prepare. You will be accompanied by a guide, Sherpas, cooks, porters and sometime packed animals.
How difficult is the trekking?
If truth be told, trekking is no more than simply walking for pleasure off-the-beaten-track, where you will enjoy extreme wilderness untouched by modern development. Yet it demands a physically fitness. But don’t be afraid! You need not develop knotted muscles to be fit for trekking. To trek, you have to be neither a mountaineer nor athlete. Anyone with pair of strong legs, a will for adventure to explore the exotic nature will enjoy the thrill of trekking.
We only ask you take the flight of stairs instead of escalator in your office and apartment several months prior to starting trek. Regular bicycling, swimming, jogging, cross-country skiing, aerobic exercise would be greatly beneficial for you. Don’t tell yourself that you will in good shape after a few days of walking. When you climb toward a high pass of 5000 m after 3-4 days trekking, you will be a lot happier if you have taken regular exercise before set off.
How many hours will I need to walk?
For many of the trekking areas you need to walk at least 3hrs before lunch break and 2hrs after lunch. Sometime you need to walk 8-9hrs per day when you are doing a Tea House trek, for you are fully dependent upon trailside lodges and inns for accommodation and other provisions. In case of a Full Catered Camping Trek it is up to you how far you want to walk each day, you are not governed by particular destination. You have all the provisions carried along by our porters and other trekking crews.
