Dear Valery,

Greetings from Janet, Top China Travel.

Thanks for your message. Regarding your request for applying the Tibet Permit, kindly notice that we only help you to apply for Tibet Permit based on you choosing the tour package in Lhasa from us. Because the government do not permit the travel agency to apply the Tibet Permit for the independent traveling clients. It means you have to rent a guide service during your staying in Lhasa or you can't get the Tibet Permit. Foreign visitors is not permitted to travel independently in Tibet. If you don't mind to advise me your traveling plan in Tibet? How many days will you plan to stay here? We also provide Seat-in-Coach tour in Tibet which you could join in the trip and share the guide and coach with other tourists to save money.

We could help you to book the train ticket from Lanzhou to Lhasa and the train schedule as below:

K917 (1213pm/1455pm + 1) You would arrive Lhasa in the next day.

Note: The train will depart from Lanzhou on the even date in Oct. Not daily departure.

I would check the train fare and get back to you later today. Because the handling charge for the train ticket is changing according to the traveling season. Oct is a high season for traveling Tibet, so the train ticket is not easy to get and the handling cost is also higher than other months.

Hope the above is clear and helpful. I am looking forwards to hearing from you soon.

Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
