Lhasa, Tibet (PRWEB) February 27, 2015 -- Travelers planning their 2015 Tibet tours often ask about the best way to arrive in and depart Tibet. Travel groups looking to save time may want to consider one of the many daily flights to and from Lhasa while those with more time on their hands can choose between an overland journey or catching a ride on the Qinghai Tibet Railway. Tibet Ctrip Travel Service-TCTS (http://www.tibetctrip.com) discusses the details.

  • For many, the quickest and easiest way of arriving is by air. Every day, there are non-stop flights to and from major Chinese cities such as Chengdu, Chongqing, and Xi’an, while cities further east, such as Beijing or Shanghai, are accessible with just one stop. In addition, there are flights to and from Kathmandu; check with TCTS for the latest schedules.
  • Many travelers arriving from Mainland China are excited for an opportunity to ride the Qinghai Tibet Railway. This can be a fantastic way to kick off or end a tour of Tibet! The trip can take anywhere from 24-48 hours depending on the point of departure. Riders will enjoy expansive views of the Tibetan Plateau and astounding alpine scenery. Travel groups looking to keep the trip length to a minimum can board the train in Xi’ning, as the most scenic portion is between Golmud and Lhasa.
  • The overland trip is often a popular option for travelers coming from Nepal. Depending on current travel restrictions, TCTS may be able to arrange for travelers to make the trip from Xinjiang or Chengdu. Overland journeys like these are by far one of the best ways to experience Tibet.
  • When a travel group is figuring out the best way to arrive for their Tibet travel (http://www.tibetctrip.com), there is a trade off between schedule, budget, and travel interests. Flying is quick, easy, and sometimes cost effective but sacrifices on the scenery. The train is a much longer trip and can sometimes be nearly as pricey as flying. While overland trips are spectacular, travelers will need to fairly compensate their driver for time and fuel costs. The 2015 travel season is right around the corner, now is the time to start planning!
