Why Take Train to Tibet

See the real reviews from former customers who took the train to Tibet with us.

Highest Railway in the World

“The scenery is ever-changing and the highest point was about 5,000 metres. It was a delightful way to reach Lhasa.”

By Jennefer from Australia

Once in a life time...and a must for any traveler.

“The journey is of epic proportions, with views of high plans, glaciers, 7,000m mountains and with a scattering of remote villages, once the train starts to climb from Golmud. Life on the train soon settles down after leaving Beijing...and most passengers spend the day sleeping and looking out the window.”

By Paul from UK

Once in a life time trip!

“I traveled in a soft sleeper by myself. The bed and the environment were comfortable. I was glad to have met great friends among my roommates. The view was breathtaking. ”

By Lesliu from California

A train that prepares you to high attitude and shows an ever changing landscape

“It is the best transportation to reach Lhasa in high altitude. A cabin of 4 beds are comfortable and clean in first class. Chinese meals served at cost in the train are OK. Soft drinks and biscuits are also available in the train.”

By Khamsay from Australia

ADVENTURE

“The highest train of the world! Start from Xining 2295 meters, Kulun Mountain 4767, Tanggula pass 5072, then Lhasa 3658. A very special experience following the GOBI desert then the high Tibetan plateau with snow end of May. Magic landscapes. You travel with Tibetan people or Chinese tourists coming from Canton or Beijing.”

By Gabriel from France

Interesting

“We were traveling to Tibet and decided to take the train from Xining to Lhasa. It was for sure a right decision. It takes around 22 hours to reach Lhasa. We booked place in wagon where you have soft beds which was also quite helpful. They serve dinner and breakfast in the train. Dinner surprised us positively, food was delicious. We skipped the breakfast. Traveling by train was also a good decision in terms of adapting to altitude. We had almost no headache at arrival in Lhasa.”

By Aytun from the United States

44 hours in a blink!

“The trans-century project really amazes me. Thanks to my travel agent who managed to get the soft sleeper coach.4 occupant in the room, 2 frequently cleaned shared toilets, no shower. O2 supplied in the entire coach.

The train stopped for 5-15 minutes in every stops. Scenery is magnificent, such as sunset in Qinghai lake, with nomads at the lakeside, snow mountain, and flocks of sheep/yak/Tibetan antelope.”

By Jacqueline from Malaysia

An unusual way to reach Tibet

“We spent 24 hours on this train. You can enjoy breathtaking views without ending. The plateau of Tibet is just huge with its yaks, lakes and mountains. We spent most of the time in the restaurant wagon, because the compartment with 6 or 8 beds are really small. If you need oxygen support, it is possible, because the train reaches an altitude of more than 5400m.”

By Zwillingsseele from Germany

Comfortable sleeper train ride

“Took an overnight train ride from Xining to Lhasa. The travel at night was pretty good. We slept well. Hopefully the oxygen level were emitted as we expected low oxygen level as the train ride uphill. Woke up in the morning with a rewarding view of snow capped mountains against the lakes and rivers. Food vender selling their stuff regularly and you never go hungry. The train arrived at Lhasa and a bug warm welcome by our guide with Tibetan style. One great train ride, worth it.”

By HongSiong from Singapore
