As we all know, all foreign travelers are required to have a valid China Visa with Tibet Travel Permit to enter and tour Tibet. However, because Mount Kailash is located in the remote Ngari in the far west of Tibet, there are more travel documents required for visiting Mount Kailash.

China Visa and Tibet Travel Permit are a Must for Mount Kailash Tours

To visit Mount Kailash in Tibet, it is essential to obtain both a Chinese visa and a Tibet Travel Permit.

How to get a Chinese Visa for a Mount Kailash Tour

If you plan to enter Tibet from the mainland of China, you can obtain a Chinese visa by applying to the Chinese embassy or consulate in your country of residence.
