Dear Carmen,
Thanks for contacting
Top China Travel!
I do not think you can make the trip by yourself. With the opening of the Tibet Railway and the construction of more airports, Tibet is more accessible for international tourists than ever before. However, to preserve the distinctive natural environment, the rare cultural relics, and the local customs of Tibet for years, and also due to limited transportation and other tourist facilities in Tibet,
overseas tourists can only travel to Tibet in groups organized by a travel agency or by the offices of the Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB). As a result, certain documents for traveling to Tibet (Tibet Permit or Tibet visa) must be obtained before entering Tibet, except valid passport and China visa. You may read more details at
What Document is Needed for a Tibet Tour
If you book Lhasa (Tibet) tour with us, we can apply for the Tibet Permit or Tibet visa for you, so that you do not have to do it by yourself. But you need to offer your valid China visa and passport info to us and book Lhasa(Tibet) tour with us. And you need to book in at least 15 days in advance, so that we have enough time to apply for Tibet Permit for you guys.
Any further request or question, please feel free to contact with us.
