How to Apply for Tibet Travel Permit from Nepal
At present, the flight transportation, land transportation, border-pass procedures and tourist routes from Nepal to Tibet have become very mature. It is also very convenient to apply for a Tibet Travel Permit through a travel agency online. However, for tourists departing from Nepal, there are some things that need to be done personally.
Reach an Agreement with a Travel Agency on the Itinerary in Tibet
As a tourist, you can only obtain the access to visit Tibet through a qualified travel agency in China. The role of a travel agency is not only to assist you in applying for Tibet Travel Permit, but also to help you plan the most suitable travel route. After all, Tibet is vast and sparsely populated, and not all areas are fully open. All of these requires overall planning. The interests of both parties need to be guaranteed by the constraints of the contract. Therefore, after signing the contract and paying the deposit, you can jump to the next stage.
Email to Your Travel Agency with Copies of Your Key Documents
The only way to guarantee a legal and compliant Tibet Travel Permit is through the travel agency. You ought to send your travel agency your scan copies of your passport which needs to be valid for more than 6 months. Your travel agency will submit the application to the Tibetan Tourism Bureau on behalf of you. It takes about 8 to 9 working days for the bureau to process your permit.
Apply for Chinese Group Visa in Kathmandu Several Days Ahead of Time
Here comes the key document that only a Nepal to Tibet tour requires: Chinese Group Visa. To get it, you should arrive in Kathmandu about 5 days earlier than your departure day to Tibet so as to guarantee a smooth process. You will meet our staff at our office in Kathmandu. After receiving your passport, photos and visa fees, our travel agency will start to submit your information to the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu. The process usually costs 5 days and you can't enter Tibet from Kathmandu without the Chinese Group Visa.
Travel from Nepal to Tibet by Road
When all your formalities are in place, you can set off for Tibet. Our travel agency can provide pick-up services for you from Kathmandu to the Gyirong Port, the China-Nepal border. Your guide and driver will wait you at the other side of the port with your Tibet Travel Permit.
Travel from Nepal to Tibet by Air
When you choose flying from Nepal to Tibet, you guide will also wait for your arrival at the Lhasa Gongga Airport with your Tibet Travel Permit.
Conclusion
Alternatively, if you want to visit Tibet through Chinese gateway cities, you can apply for a Chinese visa at the embassy or consulate of your own country. Then you can rest assured to entrust the remaining procedures for handling the Xizang entry letter to our travel agency.

plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April
Hi! I would like to plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April (3rd to 10th ideally) to Nepal, Tibet, and, if possible, Bhutan. Do you think it would be doable? Based on what I read, there are some places/things to do to consider: Nepal: Everest Base Camp trek and the Annapurna Circuit, ancient temples, sacred sites like Lumbini, Kathmandu, Tibet: The Potala Palace in Lhasa and the Jokhang Temple. eventually the holy Mount Kailash or the high-altitude plains. Bhutan: Thimphu, Paro, and the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery. To take part in cultural traditions, yoga, meditation... Of course I am open to any recommendations you could make. For your reference, we are both based in Asia: him, in Bangkok and myself in Macau. Thank you so much for the information you could provide and, if possible, an estimated budget for your offer.
