We’re Lobsang and Yolanda, and we help make Tibet travel more simple, safe and ethical so you can feel peace of mind about your trip.
2026 Travel Advisory:
• Kailash Trek in 2026: This is a Year of the Horse – the most sacred year for the Kailash circuit – and Saka Dawa (May 17–June 15) will bring extreme crowds. Book very early or consider a different window.
• Nepal Border update: The Kyirong Nepal–Tibet border reopened in late December 2025, with a temporary bridge. The Dram border is also open, though there is sometimes traffic on the Tibet side during reconstruction from the 2014 earthquake.
• Visa update: The special Chinese Group Visa is no longer required for travel from Nepal to Tibet. You can use an individual visa issued from your home country. A Tibet travel permit is still required to be arranged by an official agency.
