- I guess we aren’t allowed to wander in Tibet by ourselves but with a guide. Is that correct?
Answer: Yes, you aren’t allowed to stroll around Tibet by yourself. You must book your tour with tour agency providing you a guide and a vehicle. The Chinese Government controls Tibet so one must follow these regulations here. - While reading about Lhasa online, the amount of emphasis on altitude sickness is a bit sobering. How much walking and climbing can we do?
Answer: Lhasa tour is easy as your tour is within the city only. One can feel nauseous for couple of hours after your flight but your body will acclimatize quickly. Similarly, We can reach most of the monuments by vehicles, so there is no need to walk more. We only have to walk some steps ‘Potala Palace’ but it is comparatively easy. - What hotel do you plan to use in Lhasa? How far from Barkhor and the Old Town?
