Tibet and Nepal border is reopen

Dear Travelers,

Tashidelek!

We are excited to announce that the Kyirong border between Tibet and Nepal has finally reopened for foreign tourists, as confirmed by the Tibet Tourism Bureau this morning. This means we can now start issuing Tibet Travel Permits and China Group Visas for travelers planning overland trips from Tibet to Nepal or vice versa. While it may take a bit longer to process all necessary permits for this route, we are delighted that it is open again after being closed due to the Nepal earthquake in April 2015.

If you are traveling from Nepal to Tibet, there is no need to apply for a Chinese Tourist Visa in your home country. Instead, you will need a China Group Visa, which can only be issued in Kathmandu with our assistance. Please note that it takes a few days to obtain this group visa.

Durbar Square, Kathmandu, Nepal
