Foreigners and Taiwanese tourists riding motorcycles in Tibet

Many foreign tourists have consulted me:

But certain conditions must be met :

❶ Process motorcycle entry procedures and obtain Tibet travel permits (must be handled by local Tibetan travel agencies)

❷ Accompanied by a guide from the travel agency throughout the journey (foreigners cannot travel independently)

Because the process for foreigners to ride motorcycles into Tibet is complicated, many travel agencies lack practical experience and often reject such requests.

Let me outline the process steps for you:

❶ Confirm the entry and exit times for Tibet

❷ Determine the motorcycle route and sightseeing spots in Tibet

❶ Contact qualified and reputable travel agencies (can contact me) to confirm the itinerary and timing

❷ Submit documents to the travel agency, including visas, passports, Taiwan Compatriot Travel Documents, vehicle registration certificates, driver’s licenses, and deposits (for both customs clearance for motorcycles entering Tibet and tour deposits)

❶ About motorcycles:

You can use your own motorcycle to clear customs or entrust a travel agency to help with domestic rentals, reducing the paperwork required for motorcycle customs clearance.

❷ About travel agencies:

Be sure to choose a reputable Tibetan travel agency with the qualifications to receive foreign guests to ensure smooth processing of Tibet travel permits

❸ About guides and vehicles:

Foreigners (including Taiwanese) cannot travel independently and must be accompanied by a guide throughout the journey. Additionally, a support vehicle is required to carry daily supplies.

As the process for foreigners to ride motorcycles into Tibet is complex, it needs to be analyzed based on the specific circumstances of each tourist.
