How many class of tickets are available on trains to Tibet?
There are three types of seats on the trains to Tibet:
- Soft Sleeper: The most deluxe seat on the train with 4 berths in each cabin equipped with its own TV.
- Hard Sleeper: There are 6 berths in each cabin where you will have your own bed.
- Hard Seat: We don’t advise this class of service as it is just a metal seat and not comfortable.
