Train Composition
Each Tangula Luxury Train has 15 passenger cars including 12 accommodation cars – 6 on each side of two dining cars and a scenic lounge car. To maintain a level of exclusivity, a suite car has just four private suites – two passengers per suite. Each of our three trains can carry up to 96 passengers.

Train Composition
Tangula's trains incorporate an onboard oxygen enrichment system allowing passengers to travel in comfort at altitudes of up to 5,072 meters. The train cars are not pressurized like aircraft cabins for high-altitude flight; they have a specially developed system that regulates air content to maintain consistent oxygen levels inside the train. The system monitors oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the passenger areas and automatically modulates oxygen-enriched airflow into the car as the altitude changes. Passengers who experience difficulty at high altitudes can also access oxygen directly in their private suites and at various points in the other train cars. This air supply system incorporates redundancy to ensure continuous supply.

Environmental Sensitivity
We promote responsible and sustainable tourism practices. Tangula Luxury Trains maintain a zero discharge policy - all waste will be collected and disposed of according to stringent regulations. Tangula cooperates with the communities we visit and respects their environments and customs. We promote local art and products to return profits back to the communities and we believe an important part of Tangula journeys is educating our guests about the regional cultures and environments, so that they value the local heritage and therefore contribute to its protection.

Security
Safety and security is our priority. Each train is secured with power-operated and locked external doors and has electronically controlled personal access to each suite. An onboard security officer is responsible for the overall safety and security of guests and employees, both at stations and in transit.

Speed
Tangula trains reach a top speed of 160 kph (100 mph) with a reduced maximum speed of 100 kph (62 mph) over the permafrost sections of the plateau. In many sections of the journey, Tangula will intentionally reduce the speed of the train so that our guests can enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

Manufacturing
The train cars are manufactured in China by Bombardier Sifang Power Transportation Ltd. (BSP) and operated by Tangula Railtours Ltd., a joint venture between the Tangula Group and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Company.
