Travel to Tibet

Have you prepared the necessary supplies?

Many travelers have some almost superstitious fears about Tibet and always want to bring more equipment to make themselves safer. In fact, it is unnecessary.

The less luggage you carry when traveling in Tibet, the better, but it must be enough. Carrying a heavy backpack on the plateau is a big burden. The principle of carrying items is lightness and practicality. If possible, don’t carry things you don’t need on your back to the plateau, and make full use of the facilities and services provided locally. In addition, considering frequent movements, do not exceed two pieces of luggage.

Backpack

The difficulty of where you plan to go determines the size of your backpack. If the place you want to go is relatively remote, or you are participating in some outdoor activities, such as going to the sacred mountain, hiking and camping next to the holy lake, etc., then two backpacks, one large and one small, may be a more reasonable choice. If you are not traveling long-distance, you do not need a backpack exceeding 45 liters.

Some travelers are accustomed to carrying a fanny pack. Be careful not to put the fanny pack behind your body in towns.

Clothing

The temperature in Tibet is generally much lower than that in areas at the same latitude in the mainland, especially in mountain passes and high-altitude areas. The wind is strong, and rain and snow come suddenly, making travel difficult. The clothes caused a lot of trouble.

So down jackets are a must, unless you only plan to go to Lhasa and Shigatse for a group tour in July and August. Even in the hottest summer, in places such as the Himalayas and Ali, the temperature is generally around 0℃ at night, and it is even colder in mountain pass areas. At the same time, the plateau area has a large temperature difference between day and night. Even in the warmest season of the year, the weather is still cold in the morning and evening. If you mainly travel in the Yalong Valley area, wear a down vest or sweater, and when it gets colder, add a waterproof and windproof jacket to cope with it.

If you go hiking or mountain climbing in Tibet, you should also prepare a set of sweat-wicking underwear. In the wild, sweat sticking to your body is troublesome, and it quickly removes body heat, which is very dangerous.

In addition, a warm fleece jacket is also indispensable.

The whole body equipment, including tops, pants, and shoes, should be waterproof. In July and August in Tibet, it rains almost every day. It’s hard to imagine that the waterproof properties of clothing are not good. During the rainy season, there are heavy rains at night in Lhasa, while in Nyingchi and other areas it rains much more frequently.

Sleeping bag

In July and August, a 1kg duck down sleeping bag is enough to keep you warm. Buy one with more than 80% velvet. After compression, the volume is not much larger than a large bottle of Coke, making it very convenient to carry. If it is still too big, you can use a set of compression straps to compress it and reduce the volume by another 1/3.

It is best to bring a moisture-proof pad as well. In some places, when you need to stay at ordinary people's homes or work on the road, all they can provide you is an empty stone house. Even if you have a sleeping bag, you cannot sleep directly on the ground.

Shoes

You need a good pair of shoes when traveling, especially in Tibet. In the rainy season in Tibet, waterproofing is particularly important.

The best choice is hiking shoes with hard soles and high tops. Especially when hiking, the road surface is often not very good. High-cut hard-soled shoes are not easy to get into sand and gravel, which avoids squeezing or stepping on the feet, and they are not easy to fall off when crossing muddy ground. Moreover, hiking shoes are also better at waterproofing and keeping warm. If you really require higher waterproofness, you can use waterproof foot covers to protect the trouser legs from getting wet from rain.

It is better to wear cotton socks with hiking shoes to make the feet and shoes closer. If you go for a long walk, wear an extra pair of socks. If they are new shoes, it is best to wear them for a few days in advance to break them in. It is also recommended that you also bring a pair of slippers so that you do not bathe barefoot in the bathroom.

Self-driving equipment

Be sure to bring necessary outdoor supplies when traveling by car. It is best to consider a tent and sleeping bag, another tank of gas (or oil stove), a simple and reliable A stove or a pressure cooker may also help you. The gas tank must be secured during transportation. Also remember not to overweight your luggage. Generally, no more than 4 passengers can be allowed in a Cherokee, and no more than 5 passengers can be allowed in a Toyota Land Cruiser.

Bicycle equipment

It is necessary to have enough supplies and equipment, such as tents, sleeping bags, 2 to 3 days of drinking water and food, various medicines, etc. The requirements for clothing are first of all breathable and wear-resistant. It would be better if you have a cycling jersey. Highly breathable and sweat-wicking underwear and a windproof and rainproof jacket are also very important.

No matter how sturdy or expensive your bike is, you must learn to repair it yourself. The brake pads and tires of a car wear out very quickly, and the bumps on the road also cause serious damage to the axle balls. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a complete and compact set of repair tools, which should mainly include: one adjustable wrench; one screwdriver of each size; one or two fixed wrenches, depending on the specific situation of the screws on the car, mainly for tightening the brake screws; A thin wrench for adjusting wheel tightness; a steel ring for adjusting spoke tightness; glue, patches, and files for tire repair; a pair of pliers; and a pump is obviously a must. In addition, you may also need a screw socket wrench for tightening the pedal axle; whether a hexagonal inner wrench is needed depends on the type of faucet screws; in addition, you must have at least two spare inner tubes, a bicycle chain, and several A brake pad, screws and nuts, one long and short brake cable; one transmission cable, some engine oil; some iron wire; 2 to 3 rubber straps to tie the luggage (if you use rope to tie the luggage, it will definitely loosen); etc.

Professional long-distance bicycles have racks at the front and rear, and luggage is packed on panniers to lower the center of gravity and improve the stability of the bicycle. You can also follow suit and weld a strong front frame or frame to your car. You can put part of the weight, such as food and water or frequently needed things, in the front to reduce the load on the rear tires.

Whether you are riding on a bumpy dirt road or a flat road, remember to check the car once a day, mainly to check whether the screws everywhere are loose.

Self-guided travel guide to Tibet

Here is an introduction to self-guided travel projects. Including routes, attractions, food and accommodation, transportation, costs, precautions and emergency measures, etc.; I know many travel experts from the Internet, most of them are very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, so I specially opened this column to let more friends take it with me. Let's all travel together.

I went to Tibet and wasted a lot of time and money because no one gave me guidance. I was very sad and determined to write this article to help my future friends.

This guide only represents my personal opinion

This guide needs help from friends who have been to Tibet for guidance and revision. Thank you very much

I only stayed in Tibet in 1999 It has been a month and there are many places that I have not been to.

I advocate backpacking. Travelers who are on business trips and are being hosted by others do not need to read it.

What I am interested in is Tibet. : Architecture, culture, scenery, food.

My current plan: to go to Xinjiang and the Kashmir Plateau. Anyone who is interested in going there can contact me

My personal situation: a/s=35/male, no. I drive and live a frugal life when traveling. I am a Beijinger and don’t have much money

My contact information: gototibet1st@sina.com

For those who have never been to Tibet, Tibet is like a Dream For those who have been to Tibet, Tibet is still a dream because you have fallen in love with her but have little chance to see her again.

Beijing

Chinese citizens do not need to apply for a border permit to go to Tibet

Anyone going to Mount Everest, Ngari, Purang (China-Nepal border) or Zhangmu Town ( You need a border permit to go to Zanda (Tulin), and you need to apply for a cultural inspection permit in advance

It is best to get the above documents in Beijing, and you need to apply for them about two weeks in advance

If you wait until Lhasa to apply for the above documents, you can only choose to spend a sum of money or choose to go to the above-mentioned areas with a group

Foreigners who want to go to Tibet must apply for a border permit; if they want to go to the above-mentioned border areas, they must contact a travel agency , go in a group.

You can organize a temporary group in Lhasa. If there are foreigners in the group, you must have a tour guide. The tour guide can be negotiated with the travel agency and replaced by a group member.

Unless you have less than 7 days to go to Tibet, it is not recommended to go by plane. When flying, the adaptation period to altitude sickness is very long, and there are many things you need to pay attention to. Once you don't adjust well, you can easily get sick.

Xining - a very "local" city, not as developed as Yanqing and Fangshan

The accommodation fee is capped at 60 yuan/room/day. It is best to live near the train station .

Xining - Kumbum Monastery: 10-20 yuan for a small public trip

Tambum Monastery - Xining: chartered car 50-80 yuan

Food in Xining It’s not as delicious as other cities in the northwest, it’s just edible, but the portion is large and not expensive

The weather in Xining is similar to Beijing, a little cold in the shade and a little hot in the sun

There are many IP phones, and mobile phones can also be used

Mainly public transportation and TAXI

Recommended: Kumbum Monastery! Xining is very rustic, but Kumbum Monastery is great. Time: One day

Recommended: Bird Island, Qinghai Lake! Due to seasonal reasons, sometimes you don’t need to go to Qinghai Lake and Bird Island. For specific information, you can ask the locals or hotel staff. Xining people are very simple and honest. Time: one day.

I didn’t go there

Time: Including going to Kumbum Monastery, going to Bird Island, Qinghai Lake and waiting for the train, it will take two and a half to four days in Xining

The price of the same small handicrafts is cheaper than in Tibet, but some of the quality is slightly worse, buy it if you like it!

Golmud - a boring town, leave immediately if you have a car, don't take a minute hold up.

Fares: Xining-Golmud: about 120 yuan/person

Golmud-Lhasa: about 200 yuan/person

Food: similar to Xining, better than Xining Expensive, dirtier than Xining

Weather: similar to Xining

Mobile phones can still be used

The long-distance bus station is very close to the train station. There is a public long-distance bus bound for Lhasa around 2:00 to 1:00. However, there are many people and few tickets, so you should queue up to buy tickets as soon as you get off the train. There are many private long-distance buses. The condition of the car is very poor and accidents are easy to happen on the way. A friend of mine had an accident on the road and it took him more than 50 hours to reach Lhasa.

Don’t make a mistake in the rush. Put anti-altitude sickness medicine on the roof of the car. Wet wipes, water bottles and leaf soap are all very useful on the road.

The car is very dirty along the way. This is true both inside and outside the car

Crossing the Tanggula Pass at around 12pm

You can always tell the driver if you need to get off the car for convenience, and the driver will definitely help you in Lhasa - if it is very difficult along the way If everything goes well, we will probably arrive in Lhasa in the afternoon or evening of the next day

Find a star hotel to stay, preferably a newly opened one. As long as your physical condition is okay, take a hot bath and go to bed no matter how early you are. Be sure to stay warm and avoid catching a cold. Take some cold medicine and drink plenty of boiled water. You can get up late the next day to ensure you have a good rest. Remember that you are already at an altitude of 3,900 meters, so don’t make fun of your body.

Be sure to get a good rest

Be sure not to catch a cold

Recommended: Shambhala Hotel: This hotel was built in 1999 and is located in the city center, not far from Dazhao. The temple is very close and has a three-star rating. It was still very clean in 1999, the service was very good, and it was extremely comfortable. If you went to Lhasa before 2001, you could choose this place. TEL (0891) 6323577 Standard room: about 300 yuan/room/day

Recommendation: Lhasa Hotel: Some like the Beijing Hotel in Beijing, five-star, far away from the city center, not easy to do things the next day Convenient

: (Never stayed there.

Weather: To be honest, it is similar to Beijing, slightly colder, with a big temperature difference between day and night. Wear short sleeves at noon and a cotton-padded jacket at night

Day 2: Potala Palace, Norbulingka

To go to the Potala Palace, you can ask local kids how to get there from behind the mountain, the ticket price is about 50 yuan. p>Be sure to go to the bank to change some dimes, just give a dime for taking photos and begging for food.

You can exchange it for about 5-10 yuan per person

Return the room in the star-rated hotel and stay in a Tibetan-style hotel, which is clean and cheap. The daily room price is about 30 yuan. There are public bathrooms and public toilets. The bathrooms may have time restrictions. The waiters are usually local Tibetans. There is laundry service, which is much cheaper than HOTEL. However, hand washing usually takes three to four people. One room, four people in one room may come from three or four countries, very interesting and comfortable,

Recommendation: Jiri Hotel: close to Jokhang Temple, and the restaurant of Jiri Hotel is open every day There are many people watching the Tibetan music performance. Those who want to see it need to go early to reserve a seat

Recommended: Balangxue Hotel. Close to the Jokhang Temple, but farther than Jiri

If you are traveling with less than five or more than seven people, and you want to go to places such as Mount Everest, Zhangmu or Ngari, post posts at various hotels and travel agencies , clearly write down the number of people you need, where you want to go, departure time and contact information. Or if you see a suitable post that has been posted, contact them immediately.

There are many IP phones, and mobile phones can also be used

In the evening, you can go to a Tibetan restaurant near the Jokhang Temple (i.e. Bajiao Street, also called Barkhor Street by locals) and go to Barkhor Street. Ask for price.

Food: Pure Tibetan yogurt, butter tea, milk tea and highland barley wine all taste great. There are many restaurants near Barkhor Street, and there are also some BARs

Recommendation: There is a small Muslim restaurant on the corner near the Post and Telecommunications Hotel. The fried pancake and mutton soup tastes great. I still want to eat it now

Recommendation: There is a mutton-shabu restaurant opened by Northeasterners between the Jokhang Temple and the Potala Palace on Beijing East Road and the taste is very authentic

Recommendation: Gangji Restaurant: opposite the Jokhang Temple, you can enjoy it on the second floor terrace The warm sunshine and leisurely life in Lhasa.

Lhasa is dominated by rickshaws, bicycles and TAXIs

Don’t buy the gifts you fancy, but ask about the price

In Bajiao Street , whether it is eight o'clock in the morning or six o'clock in the evening, the boss will say that it is not open yet and ask you to help open one and give a slight discount

Once the transaction is completed, they will use the money you paid to sell it to him Knocking all the goods, probably because he wants to bring some wealth to all his goods

Time: one day

Don’t eat until you are full when eating, at most 70% full, unless your body is full It’s great. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try. Nothing will happen to you. I’ve seen people suffer from altitude sickness after eating an extra chicken leg.

In Tibet, except for Tibetan, English is more useful than Chinese, especially for lamas. , far more people know English than Chinese.

When entering any temple, don’t say disrespectful words to the gods and people’s beliefs. It’s a matter of politeness! I have seen some tourists whose character is so low that they don’t even know basic manners. If you can't guarantee these, don't go to Tibet and embarrass the Han people! ! !

Find a bar at night to drink beer or highland barley wine and chat with foreigners. Whether you are speaking English with French people or German with Americans, it is very interesting.

Qianzang - the birthplace of the entire Tibet, rich and low altitude

If you want to go to Qianzang but don’t have the time or interest to take the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, it is best to go to Qianzang first, because Qianzang The Tibetan altitude is relatively low, and food is much better hidden later.

Shannan (Zedang Town) - except that there are many Tibetans, it is more like a small town in the mainland

Transportation: Lhasa-Zedang, chartered car costs 200 yuan, which is 50 yuan per person , you can catch a bus in Lhasa in the morning and you can reach Lhasa-Zedang. You can also get there by long-distance bus, but there are departure time restrictions. The price is unknown, about 20 yuan, but the departure time is very early

Manjiedu It is a simple version of a hot pot city, a karaoke hall, or even a braised pork shop.

/p>

You can go to Yumbulakang and Samye Temple from Zedang Town. There is also a mountain nearby dedicated to the practice of lamas. There is a scenic area near Samye Temple. In autumn, the river is covered with red leaves. Very strangely beautiful

Weather: It is slightly more humid than Lhasa, and the temperature is about the same

There are many IP phones, and mobile phones can also be used

Attractions: Yumbulakang-- The first Zanpu Castle, known as the birthplace of Tibet. If you are not interested in architecture and artificial landscapes, you may not go.

Recommendation: This is the best watchtower-style building I have ever seen.

Transportation: You can get there by TAXI. The round-trip chartered bus from Milin costs less than 100 yuan. Some people also walk from Zedang Town to Yongbulakang, which takes 3 hours of walking (quick march style). Tickets are 10 yuan.

Attraction: Samye Temple - it combines Indian architecture, Chinese architecture and Tibetan architecture. It is unique and you can take photos casually. Compared with the lamas in Lhasa, the lamas here

There is also a sense of otherworldliness. On the way, we have to cross a large river that is unknown whether it is the Lhasa River or the Brahmaputra River (I will call it the Brahmaputra River).

If you arrive at Samye Temple in the morning, you will definitely have dinner here at noon. You will see flies, which are rare in Tibet, in the restaurants here, and the taste and hygiene of the food are also very poor. If you buy it, you will throw it away, so you might as well endure it.

/p>

If you are lucky and catch up with some Tibetans who want to enter the pagoda, you can follow them to have a look. It feels very sacred. Tickets are 30 yuan

Lingzhi-Bayi

: (Sorry, I didn’t go. But I heard that the scenery along the way is great

Recommendation: You can see it "Tibet Travel" August 1st, Linzhi album, Jiang Hao's "Tibet - A Visit at the End of the Century"

Lhasa

If no one has asked you to go to Ali and other places with you, hurry up and go Find a travel agency or contact the hotel lobby lady to find a car to Ali. In fact, it is better to resolve this matter before going to Zenzo.

It is difficult to change the route of the travel agency, but in order to get you to form a group, they will adjust the price. We will make certain concessions and apply for a border permit for you for free, which can give you a 10% to 95% discount, but the cost is more expensive than finding a private car

Generally, the vehicles of travel agencies are not their own, but they often hire them. It is a public vehicle, but the condition of the vehicle is better. Sometimes the situation of finding a private car is not good, and sometimes it is better than a car from a travel agency.

You don’t have to pay extra for the driver’s food and accommodation when traveling with a group. It’s hard to say for private vehicles. Be sure to make a reservation with the driver in advance

Each vehicle can seat 5-6 people (excluding the driver)

Only Mitsubishi Jeeps, Toyota Jeeps and trucks can leave Shigatse, and Beijing has a public security system Jeeps and Cherokees can also be used

You can go anywhere by bicycle, because the driver will not play with his life. They will definitely contact their companions on the road, and usually they will arrange three to four cars to go with them. .

If there is a truck following, the progress will be very slow. Unless you have money, there is no need to bring a truck.

Do not pay the private vehicle fee in one lump sum. You can negotiate to pay in installments.

It will be cheaper if you take a ride along the way. Some office drivers make some money and let people give you rides. Moreover, their speed is very fast, and their desire to take pictures along the way will be satisfied, and they are very willing to do so. Chat with people and talk about Tibet, but there may not be a car every day

Transportation: The price of going to places such as Ali and Mount Everest is calculated by kilometer, with an upper limit of 3-4 yuan/kilometer, which is generally not low. At 2 yuan/km

Recommendation: The CYTS office near Jokhang Temple has a good attitude

The rock paintings in Sera Temple are colorful and absolutely works of art

Attractions: Zhe Drepung Temple - has the largest thangka, and the Buddha display in Drepung Temple is very famous

Attractions: Dachang and Ramoche Temple - famous for being the palace of Songtsen Gampo's two concubines, with incense Exuberant, especially the Jokhang Temple. Inside and outside, there are devout men and women who kowtow long-headedly.

Before going to Ali, check your equipment.

Food: fruits, cucumbers, instant noodles (Alibaba’s instant noodles are 8 yuan/bowl), canned food (delicious fish, canned meat), biscuits, water

Medicines: cold medicine, Aspirin, stomach medicine, soluble vitamin tablets (after eating fruits, Shierkan is far less effective than soluble vitamin tablets, take 2 tablets/day/person)

Others: sleeping bag (not for cold , but the accommodation is too dirty), flashlight, raincoat, toilet paper, paper towels, sunglasses (the best for snow blindness), sunscreen, down jacket, a long piece of clothing that is not too clean and can be thrown away (there are very few WC along the way, so when convenient Solve it on the spot. Women can avoid the trouble of finding a quiet place to carry their long clothes.

Men can avoid bringing this item), some toiletries (only Zhangmu Town, Namtso and Manasarovar Lake are on the road. You can take a bath, and the Shiquan River may also be available), film

The space in the car is limited, so it is best not to bring useless things. You can store them in the hotel. Most hotels have this free service, which is very safe

Mobile phones are useless when you leave Shigatse

Food must be packaged well. They will be put together with gasoline and are prone to smell of gasoline. Take a closer look. If you don’t go to Zhangjiakou, As for Muzhen, this is the last modern town you will see, with planned roads, street lights and cement houses. Accommodation is 30 yuan/day/person (from now on, except for Mount Kailash, the accommodation price will basically remain 30 yuan/person). (around Yuan)

Some buses going to Mount Everest may take one day to drive directly to Tingri or Rongbuk Temple. This happens when the bus is in excellent condition, the driver is very strong, and the money has not been paid, and you strongly request it. Next, it is not recommended to visit Tingri or Rongbuk Temple in this way - there are many ruins of ancient castles near Tingri, which are the favorites of photographers

If you have the physical strength, go to the base camp. Drink more water when climbing. Home remedies to eliminate hypoxia

Do you have to pay environmental protection fees

Climbing Mount Everest? Is it really that interesting? Are you a professional mountain climber? How high do you think you can go? It’s better to go to Mount Kailash

: bI didn’t go

Zhangmu Town--I have a very unpatriotic friend who said when entering Zhangmu Town: "If the imperialists occupy Zhangmu Town, I will fight as a soldier and take Zhangmu Town back." Going down the mountain from Nyalam to Zhangmu Town, the scenery along the way is superb, with steep roads and towering ancient trees. You will see a sea of ??clouds at your feet in Nyalam. You will drive in the clouds and mist on the way. Only when you arrive at Zhangmu Town will you realize that it is raining at the bottom of the mountain. The car will pass through several waterfalls on the way (passing means that the car passes under the waterfall, and the water rushes on the roof of the car). Along the way, there are many Nepalese logging, and there are also many very beautiful Nepalese trucks. Zhangmu Town is a typical belt-type mountain town, that is, a mountain town built along the winding mountain road. There are both reinforced concrete buildings and simple wooden houses, and Han, Tibetan and Nepalese people live together.

It is possible to arrive in Zhangmu Town in the evening or afternoon. Don’t look for a hotel first, but first apply for an exit permit and a day trip to Kathmandu. All you need is your ID card, border permit and a little money

Weather: Subtropical climate, warm and rainy

There is only a satellite phone, whether you can get through depends on the weather and luck

Walking

Recommended: closest to the edge Hotels at the checkpoint

On the way from Saga to Payang, we passed by Zhongba. There was a hill next to the old Zhongba. There was a temple on the mountain. Next to the temple, there were many pottery Buddhas worshiped by the villagers and stone tablets with scriptures carved on them. take.

There is a small temple in Payang Village, which is full of sheep and cow heads with scriptures engraved on them. I don’t know who has the physical strength.

Manasarovar - Kailash - this is the most sacred place in the world. If you want to go to the mountains, go to Kailash - the sacred mountain (the photo the Tibetan driver puts in front of the car is not Everest, but Mount Kailash)

If you want to change lakes, go to Manasarovar Lake - one of the holy lakes (one of the three holy lakes in Tibet), famous for its sanctity)

Recommendation: Go to Mount Kailash

You can take a hot spring bath at Manasarovar Lake

Food: Not good and expensive, but there is no way, but the canteen The hot buns eaten by Chinese migrant workers are delicious

Non-current athletes must not try to climb the mountain in one day, it is too dangerous

The climate in the mountains is subject to change, so don’t think that down jackets and sleeping bags are useless. Once there is a snowstorm... we encountered it

Resolutely and strongly request to travel from northern Tibet, passing through the no-man’s land of Hoh Xil in northern Tibet. Herds of wild horses, wild yaks, wild donkeys, and gazelles are galloping in front of and behind the cars. It may be very similar to the scene in "The Lion King" in northern Tibet. The highway is called the highway of Tibet, so make sure the traffic conditions are good

The Horse Racing Festival in Naqu is very famous, and it is much more interesting than going to Namtso - one of the three holy lakes in Tibet. One, it is world famous for its high altitude.
