Tibet, the eternal problem with the permit |
|
|
Hi mates
I'm in australia right now, intend to leave within the next weeks, over to China, bound forYunnan, further west, towards Lhasa.
Questions:
Does anybody know about the current situation about the permits? Where are the checkpoints located exactly?
True, that Chinese PSB tries to crackdown on illegal cyclists in Tibet intensively this year?
Anybody with similar plans? |

hi guys :
do not worry so much about permits for Tibet and any checkpoints. Just cycle on into Tibet.
Officially you`ll need a permit for cycling (but nobody will issue one); inofficially nobody takes care of that permit. Normally you will have no problems with the local police or the PSB. Instead you should take your attention on the high altitude in Tibet.
You will climb numerous passes more than 15.000 feet which means you should be in good health and do not forget cold-weather-equipment.
For Tibet I wish all the best and take care of you! |
