I guess most tourists know they need Tibet permit besides the visa and passport if travel to Tibet. Well, do you know if you plan to go in depth to the surrounding area,some other permit documents are needed to apply for?

Gyangtse: Pelkor Chode Monastery & Kubum Stupa
Shigatse: Sakya Monastery, The MT Everest, Rongbuk Monastery
Tsetang: Samye Monastery, Tomb of Tibetan King, Changdruk Temple, Yumbulakhang

If you want to visit the places above, another Area Travel Permit is needed. As we took the tour with a local agent, they arranged all of things for me. If you want to get more info about how to handle it, maybe you can call a local agency for consultation.

I was longing to visit the holy Potala Palace for a long time. I paid a visit to Potala Palace with a local travel agency because independent international travelers are not allow to travel by their own in Tibet.
I feel a little bit pity that we only had 1 hour's visiting time in Potala Palace. We had to join with other tens of people to make up a temporary group and follow the interpreter assigned by the Palace. My private guide could not do any little bit further explaination for me in the Palace but only accompanying me all the time. It is hardly to hear the explainations because of the crowd. I wished that I could spare one more sight on the site I prefer, however, I had to hurry my steps with the group to the exit. I even had no time to take a shot. After that my private guide told me because there were hundreds of tourists vising Potala Palace every day, the administrators have to limit the visiting time for each group. Don't know whether it can be better in the low travel season??
