Mount Kailash Travel Permit

June,10 2023 BY Lobsang Tsering 0 COMMENTS

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.

If you don’t have a Chinese visa and plan to visit Mount Kailash from Nepal, you need to apply for the Group Visa from the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu.

With a local office in Kathmandu, we are glad to assist you with your China visa application. Please feel free to contact us for one-on-one personalized service.

These three more travel permits for the Mount Kailash tour include Aline’s travel permit, Foreign affairs permit, and Military Permit, which are issued by a different part of the government.

Generally, these travel permits for visiting Mount Kailash are included in the tour package. So you don’t need to apply for them by yourself. Once you confirm your trip with us, we will apply for all required travel permits on your behalf.

How do Indian Pilgrims apply for Mount Kailash Travel Permit?

As Mt. Kailash is also a holy place for Hinduism, thousands of Indian pilgrims plan to make their spiritual journey to Kailash every year. However, the China Tibet Visa for Indian Passport is different from other foreign visitors. If you want to travel to Mount Kailash with your Indian Passport, you can only get the permit from the Foreign Affairs Office of TAR or the Pilgrim Center.

If Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar are not the destinations of your Tibet tour, you can apply for Tibet Travel Permit with your Indian passport through a local travel agency just like visitors from other countries.

Leave Enough Time for Mount Kailash Travel Permits Applications

Generally, 15 days ahead is needed when applying for the Tibet Travel Permit for a regular Tibet tour, while 25 days ahead are required for a total of three different permits to Mt.Kailash. So, it is highly recommended to book the Kailash tour and send us all the required documents as early as possible, otherwise, your permit application will be simply rejected due to late submission.

The holy mountain Kailash not only attracts pilgrims but also tourists from all over the world. Because of its remote location, more travel permits are required for a Mount Kailash tour. Not only a Chinese visa and Tibet Travel Permit, but other travel documents, like Aline’s travel permit, Foreign affairs permit, and Military Permit are also necessary.

But don’t worry! We have local offices in both Kathmandu and Lhasa and offer hassle-free Mount Kailash tour packages that cover all required travel permits to the holy Kailash and Lake Manasarovar. Just tell us your travel plan and we will make your dream trip to Mount Kailash come true.
