Solo Adventure in Tibet for 8 Days and 7 Nights!! Let me tell you some hard truths!

Solo Adventure in Tibet for 8 Days and 7 Nights!! Let me tell you some hard truths! We went during the May Day holiday last year, and played around in Tibet for about 8 days, so I guess you could say we're experienced. I want to share the whole process and the things to pay attention to, so you can decide for yourself whether to travel to Tibet! 1. I recommend joining a tour group! Because Tibet is so vast, and the attractions are very scattered, the road conditions are not that great either. If you drive yourself, the pressure is too much. (At that time, our driver drove hundreds of kilometers every day without rest). We joined a local tour, and started our Tibet group tour on the second day after arrival. Don't look down on group tours; we joined a small group of about 8 people, all of the same age, and got along very well over 6 days. Moreover, the driver was very experienced and could handle many emergencies with ease. He also took photos for us, took us to less-known photo spots, and the vehicle was equipped with medical oxygen tanks, which made me and my family feel very safe throughout the trip. 2. You must bring warm clothes, woolen hats, and sunglasses!! Because the temperature difference between day and night in Tibet is huge, especially when going to higher altitudes. There's still snow on the mountains, and in the morning and evening, it's only a few degrees, so you need to wear down jackets! Being at a high altitude, it's easy to get altitude sickness! Don't catch a cold! It can make you feel very uncomfortable! Don't be overly optimistic. 3. You can bring cosmetics as you see fit, but you must bring enough hydrating face masks! I brought 8 pieces! I used one every day because it's really dry there. 4. For your first trip to Tibet, I recommend taking the green train🚞! It allows your body to slowly acclimatize to the high altitude, reducing the chances of altitude sickness. Oxygen is diffused on the train, so there's no need to be too anxious. The train will pass through Tanggula Mountain (altitude 5231m), where many people get altitude sickness. If you feel unwell, you can communicate with the train conductor in advance, and he will provide you with an oxygen tube connected to the train's oxygen supply. It generally relieves a lot of the symptoms. 5. Be sure to prepare common medicines and snacks. Cold medicine, motion sickness medicine, anti-diarrheal medicine, vitamins, Red Bull, Snickers, digestive tablets, oximeters, thermometers (only for check-in luggage). If you experience severe altitude sickness, you must go to the hospital to get checked out. Don't tough it out!! It's very important!
