Finally, we decided it is time to visit Tibet - one of the tourist spots in our bucket list.
We had wanted to visit Tibet pre-COVID. It had to be shelved because of COVID, and post-COVID visa restriction for travel to China.
To get into Tibet, we have to book a local tour (that caters for foreigners) -the tour agent will assist in application for permits to visit Tibet, and purchase of return train tickets between Xining to Lhasa.
We also planned for a day trip from Xining (to visit Qinghai).
There was some hiccups in the purchase of train tickets - finally confirmed to have 4 tickets in one cubicle (soft-beded) for return trip from Lhasa to Xining on 8-4-2024; but the tickets from Xining to Lhasa are yet to be confirmed!
We got our medicines ready for the trip - specifically medicines (acetazolamide and dexamethasone) for prevention and treatment of altitude sickness.
Managed to book the day tour at Xining, and airport transfer to hotel on day of arrival.
Waiting eagerly for the commencement of the trip.
