Dear Ashok Datar,
Greetings from Sophie, Top China Travel!
Thank you very much for your enquiry as below,
for sr no. 5 - 6 days beijing and shanghai trip in sept or october .
is it possible to take a train from beijing to lhasa and after a stay for 3 to 4 days, can u provide a flight from Lhasa to Kathmandu
Well noted that you would like to travel to Beijing, but hotel to take train from Beijing to Lhasa.
@Train from Beijing to Lhasa
Please be advised that it is hard to buy train tickets from Beijing to Lhasa. If you are only 2-4 persons, we could have a try to buy soft sleeper tickets on the train, but not make sure. If you do not mind hard sleeper, it becomes easier, but also not make sure.
We suggest you take train or flight to Xining, then take train from Xining to Lhasa. It will be easier a bit, as there are more train from Xining to Lhasa.
To be honest, if you go as Beijing-Xining-Lhasa, the cost is also the same as flight due to the high handling fee. Therefore, I suggest you take flight instead
@ flight from Lhasa to Kathmandu
It is possible to buy the air tickets from Lhasa to Kathmandu. But you need to get Nepal passport on your own in adance.
Hope the above is clear and helpful. If you could accept to take flight to Lhasa, could you mind telling us more information about your tour plan so that we could offer you the tour program?
1. When will you plan to visit Beijing and Lhasa? If you travel in September and october, I suggest you avoid September 27- Oct 07 as it covers 2 national holiday in China. It will be too crowded outside and the tour cost will be also higher.
2. How many of you will travel together?
3. What kind of hotels will you hope to stay? 3 star hotel, 4 star hotel or 5 star deluxe hotel?
4. Is there any special requests about the tour, food, accommodation, except flight from Lhasa to Kathmandu?
