What sort of currency do I need to bring?

Tibet accepts the Chinese Yuan, the country’s currency. Every bank and ATM in China allows you to convert your US dollars, UK pounds, and euros into Chinese currency.

Saturdays and Sundays are off for banks in Tibet. You can bring cash before you begin your day or journey. In Lhasa, Shigatse, and Gyantse, ATMs are readily available, but in other small towns in isolated regions, finding one could be difficult.

You should have the Nepalese rupees for Nepal, or most businesses accept Indian currency too in Nepal. Every bank and ATM in Nepal allows you to convert your US dollars, UK pounds, and euros into Nepalese currency.
