Can you fly in and out of Lhasa, visit Tibet? Yes, you can. Should you? Absolutely NOT. The best, best, best way to experience getting in and out of Tibet is this:<\/p>\n<p>Take the 40 hours train from Beijing\/Chengdu\/Shanghai to Lhasa. It may sounds long, but it help you get early acclimatization. The train takes climbs up to 5200 m and then descends down to 3600 m before it reaches Lhasa. The highest train journey in the world, right through the Himalayas, so high in fact they pump oxygen into the cabins because it gets to around 5000m. The views will blow your mind, this is real travel.<\/p>\n<p>they pump oxygen into the cabins because it gets to around 5000m.
