How much do you need to prepare to go to Tibet?

It depends on whether you want to buy equipment or not, and whether you plan to take a train or a plane.

It usually costs about 5,000 for a month, but you can still save. 3,000 is about the same, but I still recommend it. As for money, try to bring as much money as possible in case of emergencies.

You need to bring these things:

Down jacket: 1 piece, preferably the one with a hood, the color should be bright, but avoid red.

Down pants: 1 piece, avoid using red. If you are not going to the wild, you will not use it from June to August.

Pants: 2-3 pieces, preferably cotton.

Long underwear: 1 piece, cotton.

Shirts: 2 pieces, long sleeves.

Trousers: 2 pieces, cotton is the best.

Two-neck shirt: 1 piece, thicker, cotton.

Cotton socks: 2 pairs, long length.

Travel shoes: 1 pair, high-top, mountaineering type.

Sleeping bag: 1, essential if you want to go to a remote place, such as Namtso.

Raincoat: 1 piece, the color should be bright, but avoid red; the size should be able to cover the entire bag when carrying the bag; it is best to use blended fabric.

Compass: 1, what should I do if I get lost?

Map: 1, Tibet county map, 25 yuan, available in many bookstores.

Telescope: 1, as small and light as possible while ensuring that it can see 3-5km away.

Medicines: Appropriate amount, such as those to treat colds, headaches (recommended: Jiahe Baifu Ning), gastrointestinal discomfort and other diseases you may contract. American ginseng lozenges and Jinshierkang are good for you. The body helps.

Kettle: 1, preferably a military kettle with a capacity of more than 1 kg.

Camera: 1. Is there anyone who goes to Tibet without taking photos? It's best to bring a tripod.

Knife: 1, useful for self-defense and eating.

Backpack: 1, a large backpack with multiple pockets.

#Clothing suggestions:

1. Down jacket. Unless you only plan to go to Lhasa and Shiga for a group tour in July and August, it is really unimaginable that you can travel in Tibet without bringing it. down jacket. Even in the hottest summer, in places like the Himalayas and Ngari, the temperature is usually around freezing at night; at Everest Base Camp, where there are many tourists, there are often scenes of blowing snow in July. At the same time, the temperature difference between day and night is large in the plateau area, and it is still relatively cold in the morning and evening. Of course, if you are not going to a very high altitude, wearing a very warm down vest or sweater in the summer, and a waterproof and windproof jacket when it is cold should be enough.

2. We must emphasize the importance of waterproof clothing. This includes waterproof tops, pants, and shoes. In July and August in Tibet, something needs to be done almost every day. It is really unimaginable that the clothing is not waterproof. During the rainy season, Lhasa mostly experiences heavy rain at night, while Nyingchi and other areas often experience heavy rainfall.

3. After talking about warm and waterproof clothing, it’s time to wear close-fitting clothing. If you go hiking or mountain climbing in Tibet, you should still prepare a set of sweat-wicking underwear. In the wild, it is troublesome to have sweat sticking to your body, and it will quickly take away the heat from your body, which is very dangerous. Generally speaking, sweat-wicking underwear and thermal underwear are needed for outdoor activities in Tibet. In addition, warm sweaters are also needed.

In addition to the above, we also recommend that you consider whether you have brought the following items before traveling:

Air tickets, photos (for documents), down jackets, coats, wool Shirts, woolen underwear, underwear, sportswear and socks, trousers, outdoor sports shoes, woolen socks, raincoats, sun hats, gloves, daily necessities: backpacks, watches, sabers, maps, information bags, money, passport bags, documents, Flashlight, spare food and water, toiletries, toilet paper, wet wipes, plastic bags, razors, pens and paper, batteries, sunglasses, skin cream, lip balm, sewing kit, address book, lighter, medicine, photographic equipment.
