Tour or Tibet Train Travel is so named as if it is a tour mainly based on the train running on the Tibet Plateau, like the cruise on Nile River or Yangtse River combined along its track with a few tours. However, this is a kind of incorrect or misled concept.
There will be an authentic Tibet Train Tour coming in the following year, and it is deluxe train travel with a few days’ stay overnight on it, and a few places to visit. But it is NOT the train at present stage, which is at most a kind of train ride or train-transfer.
The other incorrect or misunderstanding concept is that majority people think it is better to take the train to Tibet because people will get less and less symptom of altitude sickness. On the contrary, we would like to say it is correct to do otherwise. The same theory applies to the operations in the surgery. If the patient get a dead flesh but with no hardstuff, he would feel much hurt if the cutting is slow. Likely, supposedly you get acclimatized to the altitude of a certain feet high for a while but immediately you have to face another higher difficulty while the train is runnning, your body is struggling in this situation all the time, and finally you will feel more uncomfortable.
If saying you can see more scenes by taking the train from other places to China, that is even more incorrect. From the feed- back of the tourists traveled with our company and our guides, we draw a conclusion that you will see MORE if take the train from Tibet to the other places.We, Tibet Travel Dot Com with much experience, strongly recommend you to enjoy Tibet train experience from Tibet to the other places, to illustrate this statement from the third reason. Only in this way you are 100% guaranteed the soft sleeper or your requests if the travel agents are powerful enough (we never failed in help getting the requested train tickets for our clients if the bookings are no later than 10 days or if there is NO government interference). For the simple reason is that you can have more choice from 4 to 5 departing trains from Lhasa if you stop on the way to some place.
Lastly, it is really boring to have the train ride if spending on it for over than 36 hours. Majority of the tourists would like to take the Tibet Train for the simple reason that they want to see the panaroma views of Tibet Plateau, not like the real train ride actaully, because they may not familiar to the inner structures of the train and because it is quite different from that in your country. And another reason is that you cannot stretch out your hands or feet so freely compared with the situation of your standing on the ground. You will feel much tired if the hours of the train ride is so long, as long as over than 49 hours.
