Travel Guides for Group Tour
Group Tour
Every year, a large number of Indian pilgrims travel to Tibet to spend time at Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar, as the mountain is considered a sacred site for Hindus from India. Nonetheless, Indian pilgrims must follow a very different application process for a Tibet permit than do visitors from other foreign countries. The Department of Public Security of the Tibet Autonomous Region, the Armed Police Tibet Frontier Corps, the Tibet Military Region, and the Foreign Affairs Office of the Tibet Autonomous Region must all work together to verify and award pilgrimage permits for Indians.
