All the Tibetan refugee settlements established in India are classified as Protected Areas by the Government of India. Foreign nationals who wish to visit and stay in Protected Areas, which includes the monasteries that are located in the Tibetan settlements, must have an approved PAP from the Government of India. Obtaining PAP takes 3-4 months.
