Attention:

The train tickets will start to sell 30 days before the train departure date. If you can book the trip with us before 35 days of your trip’s start date. Then, it normally won’t be an issue for us to get the train ticket for you accordingly.

Using the Tibet Nature Tour was ideal for me. Through Tenzin, I planned a private tour. He was of great assistance. It was all as smooth as clockwork. She planned a day at Drak Yerpa Valley for me because I wanted a lovely hike. It was both exactly what I envisioned and fascinating.  The Tibet tourist pass was delivered to my accommodation in Chengdu without a problem.
