As
a result of these factors the easiest way to visit Tibet may
be to join a tour group. This could be more expensive, and
usually means that your itinerary will be pre-planned and
restricted.
However,
it is possible most of the time to travel in Tibet as an
individual, although this could prove to be quite complicated,
requiring extra time and patience to reach the country and to
arrange any excursions outside the main towns.
Bear
in mind that you could place individual Tibetans at great risk
if you ask sensitive questions or stay with them. If you are
found by police carrying confidential documents, making
political statements or taking pictures of sensitive places or
events you may suffer very little, but will place any Tibetans
that you have talked to or met in very real danger. Always
seek permission if you wish to take pictures of monasteries. |
