A person bravely explores Tibet: An eight-day real expense share

Tibet is really not a place to just go on a whim 🤬 Without preparation, you will definitely encounter pitfalls!!! Tibet is suitable for travel all year round, but during the peak summer season, it's overcrowded and you have to queue up for attractions. It's recommended that sisters with time can set out in May-June 🌟 to avoid the peak season and have a full experience. · ⚠ About altitude sickness Many friends worry about getting altitude sickness when entering Tibet. For first-timers to high altitudes, it's common to experience some degree of altitude sickness, which usually gets better after a few days. However, some may suffer more severely and should seek timely hospital treatment for oxygen and IV fluids. You won't know if you'll get altitude sickness until you're there, but don't worry too much. Take precautions and pay attention to the following points 👇👇👇, personally tested! They are very helpful in alleviating altitude sickness~ . ⚠ Preventing altitude sickness 👇 Taking Rhodiola one week in advance can improve the body's tolerance to hypoxia. 👇 Definitely do not bathe or wash your hair in the first two days after arriving in Lhasa to avoid catching a cold which can worsen altitude sickness. 👇 Upon arrival at the plateau, avoid high-intensity, frequent exercise; walk slowly and rest often. 👇 Traveling in Tibet involves long car journeys, and high altitudes can deplete energy faster. Hunger can worsen altitude sickness, so always carry high-calorie snacks like chocolate/glucose to replenish energy in time. 👇 Be sure to keep warm, especially your head. Hats are essential as many attractions are quite windy. 👇 It's advisable to carry a thermos; drinking hot water in cold weather is really comfortable and also helps alleviate altitude sickness. . ⚠ Other Tips ☑ There are really many winding mountain roads in Tibet, especially the 108 turns near Mount Everest, which can easily cause motion sickness. Remember to prepare motion sickness medicine or patches. ☑ The ultraviolet rays in Tibet are very strong, so daily sun protection is necessary. Sunglasses and sun hats are indispensable. ☑ The air in Tibet is really dry, so it's important to stay hydrated and moisturized. Carry a lip balm; the inside of your nose can also get very dry and painful, so consider bringing nasal spray or erythromycin ointment. ☑ The Lhasa city area is not large, and you can travel freely. Lhasa must-visits: Potala Palace, Barkhor Street, Jokhang Temple, Medicine King Mountain, Tibet Museum, Tashilhunpo Monastery, Sera Monastery, Nanshan Park. Other attractions in Tibet are far away, and since there are no direct buses to the attractions, it's recommended to join a local non-shopping tour group, which is very convenient and saves trouble! You can refer to the following itinerary~ The scenery is beautiful, and the experience is also very good. ·· ⚠ To experience the full panorama of Tibet, refer to 🔽🔽 1⃣: Lhasa → via Mila Mountain Pass → Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon → Sosong Village (fixed-point aerial photography) 2⃣: Distant view of Namcha Barwa → via Gongdelin Prairie → Monkey Platform or Changzhu Monastery 3⃣: Via Gangbala Mountain → Yamdrok Lake → Karola Glacier → Manla Reservoir → Shigatse 4⃣: Dingri → via Jiacuola Mountain Pass → Everest Base Camp 5⃣: Via Gau La Mountain Pass → Dingri → via Nyemo Prairie → Damxung 6⃣: Via the Northern Tibetan Grassland → via Nagqu La Mountain Pass → Namtso → Damxung to Lhasa
