Health

The main concern in Tibet with health is altitude sickness, which we urge all travelers to carefully read even if they have traveled to high altitude areas before without problem. Otherwise, diseases in general are not as major a problem as in other parts of the world, especially warm, low altitude climates. The lack of good health care in many rural areas, however, exaggerates problems when they do occur.
