The one silver lining is that Bhutan remains free and independent and intensely preserves its traditional culture. Its language, religion, and culture aren't exactly Tibetan, but they're fairly contiguous. About roughly equal to the difference between Spain and Portugal.

India. At least some number of Tibetans could feasibly find refuge there.

There are many generations of tibetans in India. Even down south in Mysore there are large settlements and monasteries.
