Typically Asked Questions from Our Clients
Asked by Tani***
Hello, I will be arriving in Hong Kong on December 1st but I am planning on changing my flight so I can arrive in Hong kong on the 30th at night and flight to Lhasa on December 1st. I have 7 days to tour. Is it possible to have a tibet-mountain everest tour?
Dear Tania,
May I know if you have a China visa now? Getting to Tibet requires a Tibet travel permit, which requires your China visa and passport copies to apply for. Also the time is too tight. Even though we can handle your permit before 1 Dec, it still need time to express the permit to you as you need to take the permit to board the plane to Lhasa.
Is it possible to postpone the trip a little bit? We can arrange your 7-day trip from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp but there's not enough time for the departure date on 1 Dec.
