Is it safe to travel to Tibet?
Conditions may vary, depending on the region of Tibet you intent to visit. The main tourist areas are safe, but you can always get the most recent information at your local travel agency. Apart from the territorial issues: most Tibetans are devout Buddhists, who believe good deeds will accumulate merit in their next lives, so crimes are rare.
