Trip Overview

Lhasa literally means” the Place of Deities” in the Tibetan language, the name itself today still equals to holiness, power and exoticism to most of travelers. And this 4 days Lhasa Holy Landmarks City Tour is made exactly to show you the best flavor of this exotic holy power into the Himalayas. Nothing to visit but rest and acclimatize best on your arrival day; on the second day, you will visit the soaring and solemn Potala Palace that still looks very awe-inspiring even with the absence of its host. The Johkang Temple with never-ended prostrating pilgrims and the bustling Barkhor Street with its surrounding beautiful whitewashed traditional dwellings makes this old Tibetan quarter the best walk in Lhasa; on the third day, we will have a chance to go into the yards, chapels and halls of the most important monasteries in Lhasa, to have a up-close experience to those “universities” in ancient times. At Drepung Monastery, to feel the vicissitudes of this historic monastery used to have more than 10 thousands monks living and studying here, yet today much less. At Sera Monastery, you can enjoy watching the script debating and learn their Buddhism philosophy from your guide.

Ms. Vi*** from: 4 Days Lhasa Holy Landmarks Express

Hi,

I'm interested in booking the 4-day Lhasa city tour with you. I was wondering if I also need to apply for a chinese visa if I'm entering from Nepal?

Kind regards

Vi***

Answered by Helen

Dear Ms. Vi***,
Thanks very much for your inquiry, and welcome you to join our tour. If you enter Tibet from Nepal, you need to apply for Chinese Group Visa in Kathmandu, which takes at least three working days. Firstly, we will apply for visa invitation letter with copy of your passport. Then we will send visa invitation letter to you and our partner in Kathmandu. When you arrive in Kathmandu, you need to meet with our partner and give them your original passport, and they will go to Chinese embassy and apply for group visa for you. I will send detailed itinerary to your email, please check it. Warm regards.
