Tourism in Tibet
Tibet is new
to tourism and as such, you may often encounter things
running a little differently to the way they do in the
west. Time adherence can be slow and facilities e.g.
some restaurants and public toilets seriously
"wanting." The Tibetan people are also
non-confrontational, so when encountering slow service
at a restaurant etc, complaining tends to yield a deaf
ear. Guides and drivers across the plateau are also
very friendly and will stop to help anyone else they
thing may have car troubles. The roads are also prone to
wash ways causing delays or detours and often sections
of a road will be closed without prior notice. As such,
a good degree of patience is required when travelling to
Tibet. We do however, endeavour to make your journey run
as smoothly as possible despite these issues.
