What Sets Us Apart as Your Tibet DMC
Lhasa-Based — Not a Mainland Reseller
We operate from our office in Lhasa, Tibet. Our guides live here, our vehicles are stationed here, and our relationships with the Tibet Tourism Bureau are direct. Your clients are handled by the people on the ground — not passed through a mainland intermediary.
Tibet Specialists Only
Tibet is our home and our focus. Every member of our team, every guide relationship and every permit contact we hold is built around this one destination; journeys that continue into Nepal, Bhutan or mainland China are run with long-standing partners. That depth of specialisation is what your clients will experience.
All Permits Handled In-House
Tibet Travel Permits, Aliens’ Travel Permits, Military Area Permits, Frontier Passes — processed directly, without outsourcing. No middleman, no delays from permit chain failures. We have handled permits continuously since 1999.
Trade Quotes Within 12 Hours
We respond to agency inquiries within 12 hours during Lhasa business hours (UTC+8). For urgent client requests, we prioritise trade partners and aim for same-business-day turnaround on quotes and availability.
Maximum 8 Per Group — Guaranteed
Our small group guarantee is not a marketing claim — it is our operating model. Every join-in group is 3–8 travellers — never more than 8. For agencies selling premium Tibet experiences, this is the product your clients are looking for.
Government Licensed Since 1999
Tibet Skyline International Travel Service, Inc. has held its government business registration and Tibet Tourism Bureau operating licence continuously since 1999. Over twenty-five years of uninterrupted licensed operation in Tibet.
