Default Can I travel to China with just a visa and my green card?

My husband just received his permanent resident card. He was
born in India. He wants to visit relatives in Tibet. Our question is
can he travel for 2 months to Tibet (China) with just a chinese
visa and green card and no passport.

He'll need his Indian passport with the Chinese visa, but he doesn't need a US passport (since he isn't a citizen). The green card should be irrelevant until you are coming back.

My husband was born in India too and also has a green card. He still needs his passport with a visa to travel to most countries, although when you are dealing with annoying border patrol people, the fact that he has a green card does help. We've traveled to Mexico many times without either a visa or a passport and just his greencard. I don't know if this is totally legal or if the border patrol there just didn't care.

I imagine that if you are going to such a highly controlled area as China and Tibet, you better have everything just in case.

Can't Indians travel to Tibet without a visa, anyway just with his Indian passport?

The answer depends upon which country you planning to visit. A passport is required by many countries upon entry to their country. Also, a document indicating proof of citizenship is always required to re-enter the United States. In some instances (Mexico, Canada, etc.), a valid driver's license and a birth certificate will suffice as the proof of citizenship; however, as indicated many countries require a passport to gain entry to their country and the United States State Department "recommends" a passport as evidence of citizenship in ALL cases.
