What should I bring when taking a self-driving tour in Tibet?

Tibet Snail Travel Network will give you the answer:

1. Backpack - As long as it is enough, the less luggage and backpacks you need to carry when traveling to Tibet, the better. Generally, a backpack of less than 45 liters is sufficient. If you are participating in some outdoor hiking and camping activities, then two backpacks, one large and one small, are enough. In addition, a rain cover is also a must-have item to prevent rain and dust.

2. Clothing - Because the temperature in Tibet is very low and the temperature difference between day and night is large, down jackets and warm fleece jackets are essential. If you go hiking or mountain climbing in Tibet, you should prepare a set of sweat-wicking underwear. In the wild, it is very troublesome to have sweat sticking to your body, and it will quickly take away the body's heat, which is very dangerous. In addition, special attention should be paid to the fact that in July and August in Tibet, it rains almost every day, which requires that all the equipment should be waterproof.

3. Shoes - For long-distance travel or hikers, a pair of breathable, warm and suitable travel shoes is crucial. The best choice is hiking shoes with hard soles and high tops, which are not easy to get sand and gravel, are not easy to fall off when walking in muddy ground, and are better at water-proof and warm.

4. Travel kettle - the water in Tibet is very pure, and some of it can be drank directly. There are often dozens of kilometers of uninhabited areas on the plateau, and there are often times when there is no meal, so it is very useful to carry a kettle with you.

5. Sunglasses - Due to the high altitude and thin atmosphere, the intensity of solar radiation in Tibet is very high and the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong, so sunglasses are indispensable. It should be noted that not all sunglasses are suitable. To choose sunglasses with UV filtering function, it is best to choose sunglasses with 100% UV protection.

6. Sunscreen - must be used to avoid peeling. The air on the plateau is thin and the sun shines directly. Sunscreen can prevent skin peeling from the sun.

7. Sleeping bag - a 1kg duck down sleeping bag is enough to keep you warm in July and August. Buy one with more than 80% velvet. After compression, the volume is not much larger than a large bottle of Coke.
