I think a big part of joy visiting Tibet is the road trip to Lhasa through inner cities of China, such as Chengdu and Urumuqi. You get to see a lot of breathtaking natural scenery. Also you get to adapt yourself to the altitude.
Thank you so much Poppy,.I've been following you for quite some time now. I do plan to go to Tibet, it's been a vision of mine since I was very young..now 40yrs later I need to forfill it !! I really enjoyed this ..you were very thorough..and makes it quite clear to me how to plan my trip. I look forward to part 2 as I'm vegan..!
Thank you for a great explanation of how tp travel Tibet. The situation over there is constantly changing, so just be prepared for changes. It's a magical place to visit, if you go, be patient and respectful and you will get a lot of your time there. One Life, One Search, Shane
Thank you for taking interesting to travel Tibet even though there is quite a lot visa things to apply and also thanks for sharing the informations, how to travel Tibet. You Rocks 😊🤟🤟
Hi Poppy Thank you for this very informative video. There are a few things you miss or got wrong. i want to share. By the way, we are international Tibet travel, also known as i-Tibet travel in short form. We are a locally Tibetan owned travel agency. 1) The first thing was the Tibet permit situation. If you are coming to Tibet in Train, it is not the same as flying to Lhasa. Herein taking the train, you will only need a copy of your permit. Hence all the travel agencies will send you a copy Or picture of your permit. You will have to print it out. You can show this permit copy at the entrance to train and while taking the train ticket. But if you are taking the train from Chongqing to Lhasa. It is the same as taking a flight to Lhasa. You need an original hard copy of the permit. 2) A traveler might want to avoid the first week of October as it is a weak long national holiday here, and it is not a good idea to visit if you wish to cheaper and less crowded tour. 3) The tent guest house is connected with the China grid for its electricity. So traveler doesn't need to worry much about charging their gadget. 4) For Chinese group Visa. The Chinese embassy in Kathmandu will not issue the Visa to the individual applicant. So don't go there directly. It should be applied via an authorized agency in Kathmandu. Additional to it. We ( Travel agency) in Lhasa have sent a visa invitation from the Tibet tourism bureau in Lhasa to the embassy. We will send a copy of that invitation of Visa to applying agent in Kathmandu. We usually ask the client to use our partner in Kathmandu. If you know any we can send it to them too. In short, they will not give you Visa unless you have a visa invitation from the Tibet tourism bureau and hired agent to apply it for you. 5) Lastly, In case of both flight or overland journey from Nepal. You won't need Tibet permit in Hand at all. It waits for you at the border ( Both at the airport or the Land border) with your tour guide. Upon arrival on the China side, your tour guide will help you check out. Above are the few missing pieces of information, and we believe it could lead to confusion for many. Thank you once again for this very informative video. you can find comprehensive information about traveling to Tibet on our site itibettravel.com or write to us at info@itibettravel.com Thank you
This incredibly detailed first part may already be information overload for some and there's a second part?! But loads of people like yourself still take the hassle to go there so it must be really worth it. :D
So glad I ran into your Vlog. I will be traveling with my friends to Nepal then to Tibet in the fall/winter of 2023. Your information is helping me understand how to enter Tibet via Kathmandu. A lot of barriers to enter Tibet not an easy place to get into which makes it more exciting to visit. Thanks again for this information I will let my friends know about the Tour company you used and we will also look into other tour companies when we are in Kathmandu.
You should visit Qinghai, it has a lot of really nice places to visit as well as it's predominantly Tibetan. I visits there yearly from Singapore. And there's no restrictions for foreigners, the only issue is if you do not speak Mandarin or Tibetan, communication will be an issue as majority do not speak English.
Hi poppy I am a Tibetan living in the U.S. I love your videos of your trip to my Motherland. I m your subscribers as well ;) can you go to Powo region of Tibet on your next trip to Tibet. That’s where my paternal side of family is from...it is said that it is the most beautiful place in Tibet, it is neighbor to Kongpo Region. Thanks for the videos where’s my poppy. 🙏 We Love you
@wilsonchu2007 nobody trust The CCP…All you people do is LIE LIE LIE, China Lies, People Dies!!! Down down CCP, and you too CCP puppet Clown!! @wilsonchu2007 Go to worst Hell!!
First I would like to say thank you deep of my heart for your videos, second I like your videos, third I have a question How was your journey in Tibet?
The visa thing is quite complex just like my Europe visa. I’m Chinese, it’s very easy for me to visit Tibet, really hard to get England or America Visa
Poppy you look so beautiful 💃 with your TAN & FIT bod💪🏋️ Keep it up! Great fit Instagram by the way. pop your thoughts of this whole coronavirus 😷💉 thing? Its effecting travel to all of Asia It's getting a bit serious I hope it doesn't effect the bail trip!!!
For Tibet, I shall make this maze of Tibet applications and what not to do or do by leaving it everything to a local tour group in my country to liaise with the Tibetan one over there. Only for Tibet in China I will join a tour group to save myself all that logistical confusions. From Singapore, so Chinese visa not needed, but still a Tibet permit and all that attendant problems with it is enough for me to choose the easy way out.
Hello! It’s interesting to watch your channel, you talk well about Chinese culture as if immersed in it. It’s very good that you will go to Tibet, I was always interested in it. It would be interesting to see a video about ancient Tibetan temples, I heard the monks still live there. And in general, about life in Tibet of a simple person. I think this is a good topic.
Tibet is twice as big as you think. The Eastern parts or Amdo and eastern Kham are just as much Tibet as the TAR (Tibetan Autonomous Region) is. It is possible to travel there without permits and guides and fixed itineraries. Biggest monasteries and two huge Buddhist Institutes of Larung Gar and Yarchen Gar area also there. Here is a short peek into the amazing culture ot Amdo, shaman festival in Repkong, can not see anything like this in TAR: ua-cam.com/video/ZqHfIp9sNxM/v-deo.html
If I am a foreigner, can I drive to Tibet from other Chinese city without any tibet termit? Is there a road block or watch tower between chinese city and tibet?
Thank You for Your information. Had to check it on the internet. OMG this CCP-regime is so terrible: PRC has not issued Tibet permit for Norwegians since 2010 cause the Nobel Peace Prize was given to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.
Genuine question: do you have evidence showing there is such a rule? Last time I checked, Norway doesn't let anybody come into it either and deported tons of illegal immigrants itself so...
I can never concentrate on your videos because you look SO, so much like my friends sister. I'm going to have to sender her to a video to see for herself, otherwise I feel I may never be able to put my mind at rest 😝 ahhhhhh
I wonder when you travel so much be careful of the coronavirus. Is all over, even the Bay Area California, two weeks ago I was so sick, I think I have the flu but my flu is over I’m scare that I might catch the coronavirus, when people cough, sneeze around me when I go restaurant, coffee shop, malls or walking, I try not hang with crowds so please be careful not to catch this virus
@@tenzinpaldon6094 Do you know the visa requirement of your country to all different other nationalities? Why would native Chinese know how foreigners get into Tibet?
@@wikizhiyu so stop guessing and assuming if you someone don't know. I know for Tibet Foreigners need special permission that also not guaranteed some people don't get it because CCP has been doing that many years this is the fact.
How does she travel Tibet? She hires a very expensive private guide and car . So difficult. I travelled Tibet 20 years ago alone, on bicycle and local bus. That was real adventure. Poppy, where is the adventure in your trips?
Tibet is beautiful place but if you go to Tibet you have to go through China, If I you I will not go China this time because of coronavirus when everything going well there then I enjoy every moment 🤟🏻
Disclaimer: this is not a political comment, but rather a fact education comment to clarify what mainland China is. "Mainland China" is in contrast to Taiwan because Taiwan is an island off the coast of mainland China. Tibet is part of mainland China. There is no such thing as "there is mainland China, there is Taiwan and there is Tibet". The reaons are as follows. 1, there are 56 ethnic groups in China among which 55 are minority ethnic groups and Tibetan is just one of the 55 officially recognized minority ethnic groups. 2, Tibetan people not only live inside the West Tibet Autonomous Region in mainland China but also in Yunnan Province, Sichuan (Szechuan) Province, Qinghai Province and South Tibet, which is disputed terrotory under India control, known as Arunachal Pradesh in India's administrative division. P.S. you'll hear the term "hinterland China" when Hong Kong is being talked about because part of Hong Kong is on the mainland - HK is more than just the HK Island, there is Kowloon and there is New Terriorty which are on the mainland. That is why it's inaccurate to say "HK and mainland China" so instead the word "hinterland China" is used when referring to part of China outside of HK and Macau.
@@jeanzhan567 mainland: a large continuous extent of land that includes the greater part of a country or territory, as opposed to offshore islands and detached territories.
EJ Well the definitions varies. I have also seen one indicating that Mainland should be the territory fully controlled by PRC but at the same time the Chinese in hainan Island which is fully governed by communist party also name us mainland Chinese. Don’t be too harsh to a foreigner since the definition itself is flexible in our own country
@@jeanzhan567 it is not a political matter. it is a matter of correct English. Hainan is an offshore island, thus not part of the mainland. it's like saying the meaning of a chair is up for debate.

I thought people from outside China are not allowed to visit Tibet.
Hi Poppy! Zha xi de le!
where is jordan
when you apply china visa don't mention that your traveling to tibet your most likely to reject the visa without any reason
I wonder when you travel so much be careful of the coronavirus.

why you need a permit to Tibet? I think you can just buy a ticket and go there, am I wrong?
Foreigners need a permit
That's why many Chinese don't even know the what's going on.
If mainlanders go Ali in Tibet also need permit. I like driving to tibet with my dog，I did that many times！

Yes Poppy, you’re absolutely right it’s very difficult to go to in Tibet because of the Chinese.
What's up with all the different hair colors, Poppy?
I like to have fun with my hair
Thank you poopy God bless are you single poppy 😍😍😍
But Tibet is part of mainland China? Other provinces is the correct term I think. Anyway keep up the good work and stay safe!

tibet is tibet because of meditation and enlightenment, and only holy places like caves of Guru Rinpoche or Milarepa tower are worthy to visit.
