When is the best time to enjoy a Beijing Tibet Nepal tour?
Beijing has a typical semi-humid continental monsoon climate, with hot, rainy summers and cold, dry winters. In terms of climate comfort, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to October) are the best seasons to visit. Spring brings an abundance of blossoms, and Beijing’s parks are filled with beautiful flowers. Autumn is also an excellent time to visit, as the temperatures are much milder compared to the summer heat.
Tibet, sitting on the world’s highest plateau, has thin, clean air with low dust and moisture content, and high atmospheric transparency. Summers in Tibet are rainy, while winters bring heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures. The best time to visit Tibet is from April to June and September to October, aligning with the seasons of spring and autumn.
Meanwhile, the best time to travel to Nepal is during autumn (September to November), when the climate is mild, with fresh air, blue skies, and high visibility. During this period, Nepal experiences less rainfall, so travel is rarely restricted by the weather, and road conditions from Tibet to Nepal are better. It’s also an ideal time for hiking in the mountain regions.
What travel documents should I to obtain for Beijing Tibet Nepal tour?
To enjoy your Beijing-Tibet-Nepal tour, you will need to prepare a Chinese visa, Tibet Travel Permit, and Nepal visa as basic requirements. Except for travelers from visa-free countries, you must obtain a Chinese visa before entering China to visit Beijing. This visa can be acquired in your home country or a third country.
Before traveling to Tibet, you will need a Tibet Travel Permit, which will be checked before boarding the train or flight to Lhasa. The Tibet Travel Permit can only be obtained through a registered Tibetan travel agency like ours. Simply send us copies of your Chinese visa and passport in advance, and we will submit the application for you. It typically takes 8-9 working days to issue the permit, after which we will deliver it to your address in Beijing.
In addition to the Tibet Travel Permit, you may need other documents, such as the Aliens’ Travel Permit or a Military Permit, depending on your travel plans in Tibet. The Aliens’ Travel Permit is required for visiting attractions in Shigatse, like Mount Everest, while the Military Permit is necessary if you're traveling further to Mount Kailash or Lake Manasarovar in Ngari, western Tibet. But no worries! We will help you to obtain all these Tibet travel documents.
Finally, if you're traveling overland from Tibet to Nepal, you can obtain a Nepal visa on arrival at the Sino-Nepal border. If you’re flying from Kathmandu to Lhasa, you can get the Nepal visa in Lhasa in advance.
How many days are required to tour Beijing, Tibet and Nepal?
For different people, the number of days to spend on a Beijing-Tibet-Nepal tour will depend on the destinations you want to visit, the transportation you choose, your travel budget, and any special activities you plan to undertake.
Generally, a classic Beijing-Tibet-Nepal tour will require about two weeks to fully appreciate the highlights each destination has to offer. It is recommended to spend two days exploring the city of Beijing—one day for the central landmarks like the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, and another day for the unmissable Great Wall located in the suburbs.
Traveling from Beijing to Lhasa, you can choose the Tibet train, which takes about 40 hours for the entire journey, or opt for a flight, which only takes about 5 hours. While in Lhasa, plan to spend two days visiting the city’s must-see attractions, such as the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, along with other important monasteries. This time will also help you acclimatize to the altitude of the plateau before heading to higher areas in Tibet.
If you have enough time, you can embark on an overland journey from Lhasa to Kathmandu, which will take four days and include a visit to Mount Everest on the Tibetan side. Finally, allow another two days to explore the capital of Nepal before your tour concludes.
Of course, if you wish to visit additional places not included in the classic Beijing-Tibet-Nepal itinerary—such as Xi’an in China or Pokhara in Nepal—or if you want to experience special activities like hiking or biking, you should set aside more days for your trip.
