 Abacus Tour Makes Your Tibet Tour  
            Easier & More Pleasent

Potala Palace Tibet TravelTibet is the world’s last unexplored frontier and indeed, there is adventure lurking around almost every corner. Lhasa,the capital of Tibet,lies high in the arid wilderness of the Tibetan mountains and its name the "Roof of the World" is no idle statement. The valley bottoms of Tibet are at the altitudes higher than the highest mountains elsewhere and the glacier draped plateau is the highest in the world.Apart from the Mount Everest, which Tibetans see from 'the other side', many mountains are over 15000 feet.

In Tibet, you can constantly see innocent smiles of Tibetan people that show their sincere hospitality. At sunset, the golden roofs of temples glow into warm gleams against the darkening blue sky. At night, the stars so bright against the dark velvet make you feel closer to sky. And in fall, the flaming maples illuminate the willows on the bank of YaluzangbuRiver where lonely yak skin canoes float.

The spinning prayer wheels, the gaily flapping prayer flags, the smell of incense burnt by the faithful seeking for Nirvana with the backdrop of snow-capped mountains can bring you into a trance-like state where you lose track of time, forget all your worries and your own existence.

Abacus tour has its head office based in Chengdu, which is generally known as the gate to Tibet, the roof of the world. In China, about 90% of China's domestic flights for Lhasa start from Chengdu. With our highly professional staff, we will make your Tibet trip an exciting experience of a lifetime. It is our guarantee that we will get back to you within 24 hours after we receive your enquiry.

We strongly recommend the following Package 1 and Package 3 to those whose budget is limited., notwithstanding, the problem associated with joining the above two package tours is the inconvenience caused by the fact that most of the passengers in thegroup are Chinese-speaking ,though our tour guides are bilingual.

Tibet Tour

To travel to Tibet, you would need a valid Chinese visa & a special travel permit. Only those who join package tours are qualified to obtain the permit. To book the tour, you are requested to -mail or fax us the photo page of your passport and your Chinese visa including the following messages:

(1) full names as shown in your       passport,
(2) date of birth,
(3) occupation,
(4) gender,
(5) your passport number.

For your information, it normally takes one week time to finish the application of the special permit. According to the regulation, we have to present the original special permit to the airlines to purchase your Chengdu/Lhasa air tickets. So, after we receive your confirmation, we would like to request you to give us your passport information as early as possible.

There are two kinds of permits for traveling in Tibet: the entry permit (TTB permit) and the Alien's travel permit (PSB permit). You can get them easily from Abacus Tour.

TTB Permit - Tibet Entry Permit

When you fly from any city to Lhasa you need to show this permit when you check in at the airport. Furthermore, whenever you buy a flight to Lhasa, you need to show this permit. TTB permits are also needed by groups traveling, by Land Cruiser, but this is arranged by the travel agency organizing the trip.

Please carefully read the following information before you start your Tibet Tour.
