Abandoning Tibet tour guide
Upvote:9
From personal experience visiting Tibet in 2018: it's impossible to travel without a guide. Since your guide is personally responsible for you, they will immediately notify the police if you sneak off. There are police checkpoints not just at major attractions, but at all public transport stations, at city perimeters, outside monasteries, etc. Hotels require permits for check in and will refuse entry (and probably call the cops) without one.
If you want to explore rural Tibet freely, I'd recommend visiting ethnically Tibetan areas outside the TAR: Which linguistically Tibetan areas of China are outside the official Tibet borders with the very strict permits/rules?

Sorry, you are either a troll or dangerously naïve. In case it's the latter "DO NOT DO ATTEMPT DO THIS"
The guide WILL report you the second you go missing otherwise they will be in deep trouble themselves. Everyone you interact with WILL report you and the authorities WILL go after you. If you are lucky, they'll just kick you out of the country, but it's more likely they will detain you.
I wouldn't mind that if it's just for a couple years. Free food, shelter and not having to do my job back at home.
No, you really WILL mind! Unless sleeping on a concrete floor with crammed in with 30 other prisoners and assembling Christmas lights at full speed all day at is your idea of fun.
I wouldn't do any work in jail. What are they gonna do, kick me out?
Oh yes, you will be doing work. They will not kick you out, they will just beat the crap out of you until you comply. How does being chained to the floor and getting flogged sound?
