These are constantly being changed, so I can hardly advise you on this. There was a time when it was only possible to visit them if you were part of a group of at least four people of the same nationality, for example. In my case, I simply had to be part of a group from a recognized agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is imperative to <strong>have a special permit to visit this region<\/strong>, so I advise you not to attempt this trip independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still do it alone or with one other person, as long as you are accompanied by an authorized driver-guide to facilitate your passage through the many checkpoints. On the road, we often had to stop to provide our itinerary and visitor&#8217;s permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/39-moines-au-tibet.jpg\" alt=\"Our Tibet Travel Guide - 39-moines au tibet\" class=\"wp-image-84899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/39-moines-au-tibet.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/39-moines-au-tibet-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/39-moines-au-tibet-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/39-moines-au-tibet-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re just planning to visit Lhasa, there&#8217;s an exception to the rule. You will still need to have a guide with you at all times, but it is not necessary to have a vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organized groups (Gadventures, Intrepid Travel, Wind Horse Travel) will however cost you less than private tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These three companies still offer to this day the itinerary that I travelled through their catalogue. They also offer tours departing from Beijing, according to your preferences. Remember that <em>Gadventures<\/em> allows you to earn <strong>a 2.5% discount<\/strong> depending on promotions through <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"Rakuten\" href=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/en\/go\/rakuten\/\" >Rakuten.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the flight to Kathmandu, it is possible to use <a href=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/en\/reward-program\/aeroplan\/\">Aeroplan<\/a> miles on the YUL-IST-KTM route with Turkish Airlines to avoid Carrier surcharges  A return economy class round trip will cost you 100\u2009000 Aeroplan Miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your itinerary starts in Beijing, you will only pay 75\u2009000 Aeroplan Miles to get there. It&#8217;s the same price in miles to get to Lhasa directly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who would like to try the Qsuites cabin of Qatar Airways, it is possible to do so on the first segment of the YUL-DOH-KTM route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you will be able to transfer <a href=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/en\/reward-program\/membership-rewards-american-express\/\">American Express Membership Points<\/a> to Asia Miles or <a href=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/en\/reward-program\/british-airways-club\/\">British Airways Executive Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
