Tibet is generally accessible to tourists only three ways:
- By air to Lhasa: the most common entry for travel agencies
- By train from Golmud: the way along the impressive transtibet rail in the highest location in the world. Business travelers undertaking a long trip around Asia usually enter this way.
- By car from Nepal: across the border Zhangmu (Friendship Highway). The most common way of arranged tours /treks in Kathmandu
- Travel in hinterland of Tibet is famous for crossing the highest road passes in the world
