What should I pay attention to when going backpacking in Tibet?

On the premise of enough, travel to Tibet with as few backpacks as possible. Generally, a backpack under 45 liters is enough. If you take part in some outdoor hiking and camping activities, then two backpacks, one big and one small, are enough. In addition, the rain cover is also one of the necessities, not only for rain protection, but also for dust prevention.

2. Clothes: The warmer the better.

Because the temperature in Tibet is very low and the temperature difference between day and night is very large, down jackets and warm sweaters are essential.

If you go hiking or 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 your heat, which is very dangerous. In addition, it should be noted that it rains almost every day in July and August in Tibet, which requires all equipment to be waterproof.

3, shoes: hiking shoes are preferred.

For hikers or hikers, a pair of breathable, warm and suitable sneakers is very important. The best choice is hiking shoes with hard soles and high tops, which are not easy to enter sand and fall off when muddy. Waterproof and warm are also better.

4. Travel kettle: the source of life

The water in Tibet is so pure that some of it can be drunk directly. There are often dozens of kilometers of people on the plateau, and they often have no food. It is very useful to bring a kettle with you.

5. Sunglasses: Not just cool

Because of the high altitude, thin atmosphere, strong solar radiation and particularly strong ultraviolet rays in Tibet, sunglasses are essential. It should be noted that not all sunglasses are suitable. Choose sunglasses with ultraviolet filtering function, preferably 100% anti-ultraviolet sunglasses.

6. Sunscreen: Be sure to use it to avoid peeling.

The air on the plateau is thin and the sun shines directly. Sunscreen can avoid peeling in the sun.

7. Sleeping bag: The more exquisite, the better.

It is warm enough to bring a 1 kg duck down sleeping bag in July and August. If you buy more than 80% cashmere, the compressed volume is not much bigger than a large bottle of coke.
