Why travel with us
We Are Not an Agency That Sells Tibet.
We Live Here.
Access Tibet Tour was founded in Lhasa in 1999 by locals who call the Tibetan plateau home. Every guide, every driver, every hotel recommendation comes from someone who was born and raised here — not from a booking platform in Beijing or Chengdu.
When you travel with us, your money stays in Tibet. Your guide knows every monastery personally. And when something unexpected happens — a road closes, a permit gets delayed, the weather changes — we solve it in hours, not days, because we are already there.

What Every Tour Includes
Tibet Permit Handled
We apply for your Tibet Travel Permit and all additional area permits. 100% success rate in 25 years. You don't fill in a single form.
Expert Local Guide
Every guide is a Tibetan or Chinese local, university-educated, fully licensed, English-speaking, and passionate about sharing their home.
Private 4WD Vehicle
All tours use private Land Cruisers or 4WD vehicles — comfortable, reliable, and driven by experienced local drivers who know every road.
Small Groups Only
Maximum 12 travelers per group. Intimate, personal, and environmentally responsible. You get real attention, not a crowd.

What Our Guests Say
Most of our new guests come through word-of-mouth recommendations. Here is a small selection of what past travelers have written.
Our guide Tenzin was extraordinary — his knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism and his warmth made this the most meaningful travel experience of our lives. We will never forget standing at Everest Base Camp at sunrise.

The permit process was completely seamless. Everything was arranged before we arrived, and when we landed in Lhasa our guide was there with big smiles and our permits in hand. Exactly as promised.
France · 6-Day Central Tibet, 2025
I had dreamed of seeing Kailash for 20 years. The 3-day kora was the hardest and most beautiful thing I have ever done. Access Tibet Tour made it happen perfectly. Worth every single step.
