How to pick a travel agency
The first and most important question travelers should ask when investigating a Tibet travel agency is: Do they offer the kinds of tours the group is interested in? For example, some travelers may want to do trekking or mountain biking. Be sure to pick an agency that supports these kinds of activities and provides equipment if necessary. Additionally, note the responsiveness of the agency to the group’s questions, this is often indicative of the experience the group will have in Tibet.
Avoid money and banking issues by planning ahead
Expect to use cash for all purchases. While most travel agencies will accept Paypal or a bank transfer, local shops and restaurants only accept cash. A variety of banks in Lhasa accept foreign ATM cards and can process cash advances from credit cards. So long as travelers alert their bank of foreign transactions before travelling in Tibet they should not experience problems getting cash.
What to pack
This is heavily dependent on the time of year and type of tour travelers will be going on. Those trekking and mountain biking can expect warm sunny days that give way to wind, rain, and possibly snow at a moments notice. Also, nighttime temperatures can dip below freezing in some areas. Well broken in hiking shoes and clothes that can be layered are the way to go. A hat, sunscreen, and lip balm will help protect from the sun; this goes for travelers on sightseeing tours as well! Travel groups will also want to bring over the counter medications along with personal hygiene items such as hand sanitizer and toilet paper.

When beginning to plan a tour the amount of details can at first seem overwhelming; a quality travel agency can always help sort through the details and offer suggestions!
