[Warm Tips]

1. In addition to the letter of entry into Tibet, the same car to the Everest foreign tourists need to be unified in Shigatse for travel permit, the guide will be based on the travel permit for reasonable adjustments to the arrangement of the trip, please listen to the tour guide arrangements and actively cooperate with the tourists!
2. If the occasional system failure or peak season tourists surge in the number of queues lead to a long time to apply for the travel permit, please forgive me!
