Useful Information for Traveling to Tibet : |
Tibet remains one
of the most interesting but least developed
parts in the world. With its very short history
of tourism, the facilities for tourists though
upgraded are still at basic and limited scale.
Its limited facilities for tourists are now
approaching to a reasonable standard.
The road between
Tibet and Nepal is not upto standard at places.
It is rough, bumpy and full of bends which is
often obstructed temporarily during monsoon
months. However every effort will be made under
the circumstances to ensure a smooth and
pleasant trip.
Altitude sickness: Travelling in Tibet involves
high altitude and could be strenuous. Travellers
with known heart or lung or blood diseases
should seek doctor's advice before booking the
trip. It is always advisable to drink atleast 3
litres of water everyday while on the tour.

altitude remains cool throughout the year.
