The Tibet Train - Beijing / Shanghai / Chengdu to Lhasa
| |
Opened in July 2006 this controversial engineering marvel is the highest train in the world reaching an altitude of 5,072 meters at the Tanggula pass. The trip instantly became a classic China rail trip and, for many, the preferred way to reach Lhasa from Beijing, Shanghai or Chengdu. However, for foreigners, this train trip is logistically difficult as a permit is required before a ticket can be issued and tickets can only be issued shortly before departure.
We sell the ticket as part of our SG-06 Beijing to Kathmandu trip which can also be tailored to start in either Shanghai or Chengdu. Please note that we cannot sell tickets on this train without a tour in Tibet as these are the strict Tibet permit requirements.
