identity or an identify card issued by the Indian government. Temporary identity
card with photographs issued by Nepal-based Indian diplomatic missions is
considered in case of exception. Children under 10 years need not show any
identification.
Tibet Visa
Chinese Visas obtained overseas are not good to visit Tibet
for travellers entering Tibet from Nepal. Therefore visa to Tibet must be
obtained from the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu, Nepal. The Chinese embassy issues Tibet
visas only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays (except Chinese holidays).
So you need to stay in Kathmandu for at least two nights
before entering Tibet.
Visitors cannot apply for the Tibet Visa themselves (one must
go through reputed Travel Agency). In order to apply / obtain the Tibet Visa,
the Tibet Travel Permit and Visa Approval documents (issued by Tibet Travel
Bureau) are compulsory to submit to the Chinese Embassy.
When you confirm your trip with us, we will organize Tibet
Travel Permit, Visa Approval Documents, apply to the Chinese embassy, and obtain
your visa. You do not need to go to the Chinese Embassy, we'll do on your
behalf.
To make sure we obtain your visa in time, we need your
passport details at least two weeks earlier of your arrival at Kathmandu.
