Beijing Lhasa train travel tips
→The timetalbes above are only for referrence;
→We do NOT sell ticket-only because foreign visitors must book a package tour with a travel agency and obtain Tibet Entry Permit before booking Tibet train ticket;
→ Because the Tibet train travel are quite popular and the ticketing is extremely busy in peak seasons (from July1 to Oct.10)
→Train tickets are only on sales 10 to 20 days in advance, to avoid the last minute chance of train ticketing, tourists had better fly to Lhasa and take the train out, or optionally it is even better to fly to Xi'ning where they have more chances to catch up one train since all trains are through Xi'ning.
→We know many people really dream to take Qinghai Tibet train travel one way. And we have been trying our best every year and did help many foreign tourists get Tibet inbound train tickets (for Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. April, May) and Tibet outbound train tickets (year around, we are Lhasa based agency and have more chances to get train tickets for outbound trains).
→Ticketing service charge normally ranges from US$50 to 100 according to the situation
