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
