Hong Kong to Tibet Travel FAQs & Travel Tips

What travel documents are required when Traveling from Hong Kong to Tibet?
Hong Kong residents do not need to apply for the Tibet Travel Permit. All you need to take is your HK SAR Passport and Home Return Permit.
For international tourists who plan to enter Tibet from Hong Kong, the necessary travel documents include a Chinese Visa and a Tibet Travel Permit.
First, you need to obtain a Chinese Visa. Then, you can apply for the Tibet Travel Permit with scanned copies of your passport and Chinese Visa after you book a Tibet tour.
Generally, the Tibet Travel Permit application process takes 7 to 9 working days. After we get your Tibet Permit, we will mail it to your hotel on the mainland of China before you take a flight or train to Tibet.
If you need to apply for the Tibet Travel Permit, book your Tibet tour at least 20 days in advance.
-
Can I travel to Tibet independently from Hong Kong?
If you are a Hong Kong resident with an HK SAR Passport and Home Return Permit, you can visit Tibet independently. Otherwise, you still need to apply for the Tibet Travel Permit and take a pre-arranged trip to Tibet through a local travel agency.
Although independent travel provides more flexibility, first-time travelers to Tibet may face challenges such as altitude sickness, local transportation arrangements, and cultural differences.
To ensure a smooth travel experience in Tibet, it is recommended to travel with us. As the leading local tour operator, we at Tibet Vista provide types of Tibet tours. No matter you are looking for a tailor-made journey in Tibet, or looking for a cost-effective small group tour in Tibet, we can fulfill your dream trip to Tibet.
-
Is there any flight from Hong Kong to Tibet?
Currently, there is no direct flight from Hong Kong to Tibet. However, it is convenient to fly from Hong Kong to Lhasa via Chengdu, Chongqing, Beijing, Xi’an, or Kunming. The connecting flight from Hong Kong to Lhasa takes from 14 hours to over 1 day. You can choose the appropriate flight according to your schedule.
-
How to take a train to Tibet from Hong Kong?
Only seven cities offer trains to Tibet, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Lanzhou, and Xining. You can travel from Hong Kong to one of these cities and then take a train to Tibet.
Guangzhou is the closest gateway to Hong Kong which has daily trains to Tibet. However, the Guangzhou to Lhasa train takes the longest journey over 53 hours. You need to stay two nights on board the train, which may be a little bit boring.
The Xining to Lhasa train offers the shortest railway journey to Tibet, taking around 20 to 21.5 hours. If you’re looking to experience the best of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, this route is highly recommended.
-
When is the best time to visit Tibet from Hong Kong?
The best time to visit Tibet is from April to October. During this period, the weather in Tibet is stable with a mild and pleasant climate, offering the best scenery of the Tibet Plateau. There are also many festivals to experience during these months, such as the Saga Dawa Festival and the Shoton Festival. However, this is also the peak tourism season in Tibet. The tour cost will be higher than in winter.
Winter months from November to March are the low season for Tibet tourism, during which traveling to Tibet is more affordable. Winter in Tibet is not as cold as you might imagine. The daytime temperature in winter Tibet, especially in cities like Lhasa and Shigatse, is basically around 10 degrees. You can even visit the Everest Base Camp in winter. Just be mindful of the low temperatures before sunrise and after sunset.
-
How to prevent altitude sickness when traveling from Hong Kong to Tibet?
The average altitude of Hong Kong is only about 100 meters, while the altitude of Lhasa is as high as 3,650 meters. The large altitude difference between Hong Kong and Lhasa makes it more likely to have altitude sickness. But don’t be too stressed as it is a normal physical reaction of the human body, and it varies from person to person.
Whether you take a flight or train to Tibet, it is suggested that do not arrange sightseeing on the first day of arriving in Lhasa and take a good rest in your hotel to adapt to the altitude of the plateau.
You can also choose to enter Tibet from Nyingchi, which is just around 2,800 meters above sea level. With rich vegetation and high oxygen content, it is less likely to have altitude sickness in Nyingchi. It is also convenient to travel from Nyingchi to Lhasa, either through the well-paved expressway or the modern high-speed rail.
It is recommended to stay in Lhasa or Nyingchi for 2 to 3 days to acclimate before heading to high-altitude areas like Everest Base Camp or Mount Kailash. In addition, getting plenty of rest, drinking water, and avoiding strenuous activity is helpful.
