Third, matters needing attention 1, reliable car

First of all, you should have a reliable car, preferably an off-road vehicle. If you want to drive, you can drive, as long as you don't feel bad. If you have no experience and can't drive into Tibet by yourself, don't drive by yourself.

2. clothes

Down jacket, sweater, sun hat, anti-ultraviolet sunglasses, thick socks and waterproof outdoor hiking shoes are all necessary.

3. Food and water

There may not always be food on the way to Tibet, so we should make sure that there is enough water and food in the car to keep our energy. High-calorie foods such as chocolate, Snickers and beef jerky are essential.

4. Sleeping bag

This is still necessary. If possible, bring a sheet. The accommodation environment along the way is definitely not as good as you think.

5. medicine

Drugs are the top priority. Plateau medicine: Rhodiola, American ginseng buccal tablets, Baifuning. Cold medicine: Radix Isatidis, Baifuning, vitamins, glucose, etc.

6. Wearable parts of vehicles

Spare tire, tire pressure monitor, belt, headlight bulb, engine oil, mechanical filter, steam filter, spare tire, trailer belt, fuse, antifreeze glass water, oil suction pipe, empty oil drum, electric air pump, simple vehicle repair tool. With these tools, minor faults of vehicles can be repaired in time.

7. Driving recorder

I don't need to tell you why you brought this. It is estimated that most vehicles will have it now.

8. Personal documents

To go to road trip, you must have: ID card, driver's license and driving license.

9. Insurance

When it comes to insurance, everyone may be a little xenophobic. I want to say that it is necessary to buy an insurance before going out. If an accident really happens, insurance can help you recover some losses. Especially when you go to a place like Tibet, you can buy an accident insurance for helicopter rescue, which is really a life-saving moment.
