Why visit Tibet from Kathmandu, Nepal?
Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal and has excellent proximity and accessibility to Lhasa (Tibet). You can reach Lhasa in just a 1.5-hour flight from Kathmandu. Moreover, the view of the Himalayan range, including Mt. Everest is heavenly during the flight.
Likewise, you take an overland journey and enter Tibet in just a 7 to 8-hour drive from Kathmandu and gradually ascend to Lhasa via small Tibetan towns and villages. So, tourists have two travel options that they can choose from based on their budget and interests.
Similarly, Tibet is one of the most difficult countries to enter for travel. However, if you are traveling from Nepal, the process gets quite easy because licensed Nepali travel agencies like us can help you obtain travel visas and permits hassle-free.
Another great thing about traveling to Tibet from Kathmandu is a smooth transition to a high altitude. Kathmandu is situated around 1,400 meters above sea level. So, if you are traveling from Kathmandu to Lhasa, the gain in elevation will be around 2,256 meters. It is also definitely high, but not as high as traveling from sea level.
