Guangzhou and Tibet Tour Map

GUANGZHOU & TIBET TOURS

The proximity to Hong Kong and surrounding harbors makes Guangzhou one of the easiest gateway cities for international tourists to enter mainland China, only next to Beijing, Shanghai.

In addition to easy transportation, you can enjoy the exciting city life and gourmet Cantonese cuisines in Guangzhou. The vibrant economy and revolutionary history of Guangzhou reveal the prosperity and legendary past of this cosmopolitan city. Besides, you will love the cozy sunshine and diverse fruits in Guangzhou.

As a pioneer of Tibet inbound tourism, we would like to facilitate your Guangzhou and Tibet tour by offering services ranging from Tibet Travel Permit application, Tibet train and flight booking and hand-picked Guangzhou-Tibet tour packages, and plenty of useful insiders’ travel tips. So far, taking Tibet train or domestic flight to Lhasa are the two major ways to reach Tibet.

  • Note: With a distance of 3724km, Guangzhou is the farthest major city in mainland China to enter Tibet. For budget travelers, taking Guangzhou-Lhasa train is the best choice. However, you need to endure the long ride in the next 53:20h; since there is no direct flight from Guangzhou to Lhasa, the flights from Guangzhou normally stop at Chengdu or Chongqing and en route to Lhasa, Tibet.

  • Guangzhou to Lhasa by Flight

    If you have a tight schedule and have little interest for having a long ride, flying from Guangzhou to Lhasa is the right decision. You can easily take Guangzhou Metro Line 3 to reach Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. Over 6 major airlines in China run flights from Guangzhou to Lhasa. However, there is no non-stop flight. The plane from Guangzhou will make a brief stopover in Chengdu, or Chongqing and keeps flying to Lhasa. The direct flight takes around 6:20 to land in Gonggar International Airport. Since Guangzhou only has an average altitude of 11m, whereas Lhasa has an altitude of 3658m. it’s advisable not to rush to visit attractions in Lhasa shortly after you arrive in Lhasa. Otherwise, it’s likely to trigger acute altitude sickness due to bad acclimatization.

How to Get Tibet Permit When Traveling to Lhasa from Guangzhou

As a common practice, we will deliver your Tibet permit to your hotel in Guangzhou by express, 1-7 days prior to your departure for Lhasa. It is common to get the permit even the night or a couple of hours before your departure to Tibet. In some extreme cases, our staff in Guangzhou will deliver it to your hand before departure at airport or railway station. As the leading local travel agency that has organized global tourists to Tibet since 1984, we have never failed to get and deliver the Tibet permit to our clients. Please feel rest-assured.

If you take a flight to Lhasa from Guangzhou, the original copy is required, while if getting to Lhasa from Guangzhou by train, a printed copy is enough. Your travel consultant will handle with it perfectly according to the situation.

Why you can't get the permit much earlier?

The Tourism Bureau only accepts the permit application that is used to arrive in Tibet within 20 days. Generally, it takes 6-12 working days to issue the permit after we get the photo copy of your passport and Chinese visa. The application time depends on where you travel in Tibet, about 8-12 days to get the permit if heading to Mt.Everest and Mount Kailash, and just 6-8 days if you only travel in Lhasa City.

After we get the permit in Lhasa, we will deliver the permit to you immediately by express, and it takes around 6 days to arrive in Guangzhou. Therefore, you will only be able to get the permit within 1 to 7 days before your departure for Lhasa.

However, your personal consultant usually asks you to confirm the tour much earlier, because the earlier you provide all the required documents, the earlier we can submit to Tibet Tourism Bureau and wait for your turn.

We promise to nail visa to Tibet for every of our clients with 100% guarantee.
