Cancellations
There will be a cancellation charge of 50% for the confirmed
bookings up to 7 days prior to departure whereas, there will
be no refund thereafter. There will also be no refund for
not showing up and delayed arrivals for whatsoever reason.
Clothing
Wear casual and comfortable walking shoes. Be sure to bring
warm clothing as nights and early mornings can be quite chilly
to downright cold in winter months. Bring all the film, medicine,
cosmetics, personal toilet items, etc. that you'll need from
home as these are difficult if not impossible to obtain in
Tibet. A small first aid kit would also be helpful.
Altitude Sickness
As Lhasa lies at over 12,000 feet, you may experience some
of the minor symptoms and discomfort of altitude sickness
until your body adjusts to the elevation. This can take from
a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the individual.
Drinking plenty of non-alcoholic liquids and avoiding dehydration
is a must.
Insurance
Full travel insurance coverage, particularly for trip cancellation
and interruption, is strongly recommended.
Currency:
The units of currency for foreigners is the Yuan (US$1= 8
Yuan). Money can be exchanged at The Bank of China at Zhangmu,
Xigatse and Lhasa. In case the banks are closed we suggest
you ask for a loan from your guide.
