▪ Accidents on the road can happen by duke0123



It's not a real danger for yourself (unless you're in the truck) but it can happen that a truck gets an accident. If you're not in the truck the only thing that happens is a delay and you'll never know how long this will be. So be patient because it's all in the game when you're traveling around.


▪ Altitude sickness by titti

Altitude sickness: Whichever way you enter Tibet, you will face altitude sickness in the first few days. Then, it will be time to go home! You will probably develop low symptoms like headaches and nausea. If you feel any symptom, don't panic, but try to get to a lower altitude if they become really worrying. Drinking a lot (water) help against altitude sickness. However, Tibet tour is not recommended for people with heart conditions.


▪ Foreign travelers are strictly required to submit a 'Permit' by illa

Foreign travelers are strictly required to submit a 'Permit' to travel to Tibet. That means to hire a car as well as a tourist guide for your trip. You can still design your own itinerary, by only paying a little more. Don't try to slip, unless you look exactly as a Chinese and you do speak some Chinese. It's seriously checked anywhere there and once if you were found, you'd be ordered to leave Tibet immediately.
