Traveling in Tibet is not considered "CHEAP" because all foreign travelers must have Travel Permits, a tour guide and a vehicle with a driver. The cost of vehicles accounts for a great proportion. Tibet Travel Org CITS offers many tour packages to help travelers cut down cost by sharing tour guides, vehicles and rooms with others.
1. 4-day Lhasa City Tour (from US $427)
Lhasa is the political, economic, cultural and religious center of Tibet. It contains a number of significant historical sites, like Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street and Sera Monastery.
