Can I withdraw cash from an ATM?

Yes, you can withdraw money from the ATM at the ICBC bank in Lhasa. These ATMs are accessible 24 hours and offer an English menu for your convenience. However, there are times when the ATMs might not work properly or may run out of cash. To avoid any inconvenience, it’s a good idea to carry some cash as a backup. When traveling outside of Lhasa, ATMs can be hard to find, so we recommend taking enough cash with you for those trips. If you have any more questions, just let us know!

Can I exchange money in banks in Tibet?

Yes, you can exchange US Dollars at the Bank of China. Some branches are equipped with special currency exchange machines, which require you to have your passport handy. If a branch does not have these machines or they are not functioning, you will need to fill out some forms, and the bank staff will assist you with the process. Please allow up to 30 minutes for this.

When you’re traveling with our guides, they will accompany you to the bank and assist you throughout the exchange process, making it as smooth and hassle-free as possible. If you have any questions or need further assistance, just let us know!
