Singaporeans: No China Visa Needed in 2026!
Since July 2025, Singaporean passport holders enjoy 30-day visa-free entry to China. You still need a Tibet Travel Permit (TTP) to enter Tibet — and that's where we come in. We process your TTP and all additional permits. You just send us your passport scan. That's it.

KL Flight Guidance
We recommend the best flights from Singapore to Chengdu/Kunming → Lhasa. AirAsia, Malindo, China Southern — we'll help you pick.
Lhasa-Based Since 2010
15 years of Tibet travel experience. When you have an issue at 4,500m, we're not a call center in another country — we're right here.
Singapore → Lhasa: Two Easy Routes
🛫 Route 1: Via Chengdu (Recommended)
SIN → Chengdu: Scoot / Singapore Airlines / Air China, 5 hours, from ~SGD 350 round-trip
Chengdu → Lhasa: Air China / Sichuan Airlines, 2.5 hours, included in your tour package
Why this route: Best flight frequency (4-6 daily from Singapore). You can spend a night in Chengdu (famous Sichuan food!) before the Lhasa flight the next morning. This is what 90% of our Singapore clients choose.
🛫 Route 2: Via Kunming (Shortest Flight)
SIN → Kunming: Scoot / China Eastern, 4.5 hours, from ~SGD 300 round-trip
Kunming → Lhasa: China Eastern / Lucky Air, 2 hours, included in your tour package
Why this route: Shortest total flight time from Singapore. Kunming (1,890m) gives you a gentle introduction to altitude before Lhasa (3,650m). Good for those who want to minimize travel time.
💡 Pro tip: Fly to Chengdu/Kunming a day early. Rest overnight. Take the morning flight to Lhasa. Arrive refreshed and ready for altitude acclimatization. We'll arrange your airport pickup in Lhasa.

You cannot board a flight to Lhasa without a TTP. We arrange it for you — permit applications coordinated in-house for Singaporean travelers.
Route 1 (Recommended): SIN → Chengdu (AirAsia ~4.5h, from RM 600) → Lhasa (2.5h). Daily flights, best frequency.
Route 2: SIN → Kunming (AirAsia ~3.75h, from RM 500) → Lhasa (2h). Shortest total flight time.
We recommend arriving in Chengdu/Kunming/Singapore one day before your Lhasa flight — rest overnight, then take the morning flight to Lhasa.

The price you see includes: all permits, accommodation, meals (as specified), guide, transport, and oxygen support. NOT included: SIN↔China flights (SGD 300-500 round trip), travel insurance (~SGD 30-60), personal expenses. No hidden charges — we publish everything.

Absolutely safe. Lhasa (3,650m) is a modern city with international-standard hotels and medical facilities. For altitude: we build acclimatization into every itinerary — you rest on arrival day, we ascend gradually, and every vehicle carries oxygen. Most people feel normal within 24-48 hours. If you've been to Kinabalu (4,095m), Lhasa is actually lower.
May–October is the best window. Daytime 15-25°C in Lhasa, perfect for sightseeing. July–August is warmest but busiest. For Kailash: May–September, with June–July being the best months. Avoid: February–March (Tibetan New Year — many places closed, no permits processed). Singapore school holidays in May–June and November–December — book early for these periods.
