Get In

Many tourists visiting Tibet first arrive in Kathmandu, Nepal, and then travel to Lhasa, Tibet. All because of the opportunity to see the highest mountain in the world. It is flying over more than half of the airspace of the Himalayas. However, Nepal is not only the route to get into Tibet. Other countries have flights that transit through Tibet. You need to fly to China and then take a train or flight to Tibet. 

Accommodation 

The accommodation facility is limited in Tibet. For people on any budget, Tibet has a place to stay. Compared to other cities, Lhasa has good accommodation with modern facilities and services for its customers. Facilities, including Wi-Fi, air conditioning, hot water, and so forth, are available. You can find a single room or twins in Lhasa. You need to pay USD 8-12 for a twin room without an attached bathroom in Shigatse/Lhasa. If you opt for an expensive hotel, you’ll have to pay USD 30-60 for rooms that include a bathroom and toilet.

Food 

Part of the package includes breakfast only. You can enjoy local and Western food, all with a mouth-watering taste, in Tibet. While visiting Tibet, don’t forget to try some of the most common local foods: Tsampa, Lhaping, MOMO, and so forth.  

Other Expenses 

Meal (breakfast), ground transportation, a local guide, entrance fee to the attraction, and accommodation are part of the package that you should arrange in advance. However, expenses such as lunch, dinner, personal expenses, tips, and donations should be considered extra. Tibet is also an excellent place for shopping. It has many artistic souvenirs that your friends and family will love to have. Thanka painting, a singing bowl, a statue of Buddha, a colorful Buddhist door curtain, and a praying flag might be the best souvenirs from Tibet.
