Lhasa Transport - Others

Pedicabs
Pedicabs, while slower than minibuses, are a popular transport option on Lhasa streets. They can carry two people and cost between 4 and 7 RMB. The fare should be settled beforehand to avoid misunderstanding.

Bicycle
If you are not too pressed for time, traveling by bike is another pleasurable way to get around the city. Remember, though, that Lhasa's altitude can take some getting used to and you should avoid strenuous activity when you first arrive (see this tips article on altitude sickness). Bikes can be rented from many hostels along Barkhor Street for around 2 RMB per hour or 20 RMB per day. Mountain bikes are slightly more expensive.
