hello, I'm interested in a 4 day trip to Lhasa from june 14-17th. How long does it take to get a tibet permit? I live and work in chengdu china and my daughter lives in the US. I have a work permit and my daughter is now getting a china visit visa. Can I book a hotel called Tibet Gorkha Hotel? Does the trip cost include air transportation? I look forward to your response. Regards, Tim Denny

Hi Tim,

Greeting from Peggy, Top China Travel.

I'm glad to help you on your Lhasa tour and now will list my answers one by one in the following:
How long does it take to get a tibet permit?
A Tibet permit application may need at least 20 day to deal with.

Can I book a hotel called Tibet Gorkha Hotel?
Because of the safety consideration, foreign travelers could not travel to Tibet by themselves, only China local travel agency can arrange the tour for foreign travelers.
That means you can choose Tibet Gorkha hotel to book, but you may need ask China local agency to book for you.

Does the trip cost include air transportation?
No, the 4 days Lhasa tour on our site excludes the air fare.

About Tibet Travel Permit application
One more thing should let you know that your passport and visa scan copies are needed to apply Tibet permit. And better to apply the permit at least 20 days before your Tibet tour. The ealier the better.
