Tibet Railway Schedule and Fare

For centuries, Tibet was isolated from the outside world due to the extreme climate, remote location, and poor transportation. Except for some bold adventurers and explorers, few people travel to Tibet. However, as the finish of the Qinghai-Tibet railway in 2006, Tibet has started a new chapter. Travelers from all directions take train to Lhasa for the breathtaking scenery along the way. The Qinghai-Tibet railway winds through mountains, glaciers, shimmering salt lakes and charming villages, taking all travelers to a gorgeous world.
Currently, there are a total of seven cities available to take train to Lhasa. The post below offers the Tibet train schedule and fare. Keep reading to get the details.

user portrait Mr. Ju*** from: 4 Days Lhasa Holy Landmarks Express

Hi, I plan to arrive in Lhasa on the 9th of March in 2020 by train and would like to do a 4 day tour. Unfortunately there are no tours scheduled between January and April, will there be tours added or are there not any planned?

Kind regards

Julian Franz
