How to visit
Practical advice from our Lhasa team.
- Walk slowly. Steep stairs at altitude are harder — come on your second or third day, not the day you arrive.
- Book ahead in peak season — daily quotas fill early.
- Taxi drop-off: Checkpoint approach road
- Bus: Local transport to the checkpoint is limited; arrange a vehicle in advance
