Travel guide to go on road trip, Tibet+accommodation+preparation+expenses.

People who want to go to Tibet must be vicious, and those who want to go to Tibet in go on road trip must be werewolves! Because we not only need rich preparation, but also overcome altitude sickness caused by the environment, sometimes there is really nothing we can do in bad weather. Here is the most comprehensive travel guide for everyone!

Choose a good time to go to Tibet first. I have a rough look at the seasonal changes in Tibet, and the best time to travel on the road should be from April to August. I think this varies from person to person. You can see different scenery at different times. But the point is that 1 month to March is winter, so it is difficult to drive by car. It is enough to close the mountains and roads with heavy snow. I think the online advice is that if you are not a professional and experienced road trip lover, you should not go to road trip in winter. The rainy season is the same. Rainstorms and mudslides are still terrible. More and more people may enter Tibet after April and May, and more people may help if there are any problems on the road.

You can consider taking rhodiola and other drugs10.5 days in advance to enhance your body function and improve your blood's oxygen carrying capacity. However, we should not expect too much from this drug, and we need to make other preparations to prevent high reaction.

In the plateau environment, many chronic diseases, such as tracheitis, rhinitis, pharyngitis, arthritis, dermatitis, cardiovascular diseases, etc., are easy to occur in this environment due to dry air, lack of oxygen and large temperature difference between day and night. If there are problems in this area, we must first carry out stable treatment, wait until the symptoms disappear and are not in the onset period, and then set off for the Tibet Plateau.

To strengthen physical exercise, you can choose moderate jogging or walking to strengthen your vital capacity and muscle strength. In the plateau environment, people are more prone to fatigue due to lack of oxygen and other reasons. Walking in plateau area is a physical activity. If you want to go to some remote scenic spots, such as Namco, Everest Base Camp and Ali, a good body and enough endurance are very necessary.

Before entering Tibet, it is suggested to know something about Tibetan culture in order to understand what is ok and what is not in Tibetan life. The advantage of this is that you won't touch Tibetan taboos when you go to play, which will affect your driving experience. I probably collected a few for reference:

1, don't spit on people's backs and clap your hands.

2. When drinking butter tea, the host pours tea, and the guests can only take it when the director holds his hands in front of him.

When the host pours the tea, the guests need to put the tea bowl forward with both hands to show their respect.

4. Don't touch the heads of Tibetans at will. In Tibetan culture, except monks and elders, others are not allowed to touch their heads casually, which is very impolite. This is very important.

5. Tibetan culture is mainly Tibetan Buddhist culture, and Buddhist culture should be respected.

6. In some areas, there is the custom of celestial burial. Generally speaking, it is not allowed to watch, let alone take pictures. That's disrespectful to the dead.

7. When you go to Tibet, you usually go to Potala Palace. You should reserve tickets for the peak season. Remember, don't take pictures after entering the Potala Palace, or you may not get out.

That's all. Please check the rest. )

Before embarking on a trip to Tibet, it is recommended to go to the 4S shop for a comprehensive vehicle maintenance and special long-distance inspection, and replace conventional consumables such as engine oil, machine filter and air filter. If you feel uneasy, you can prepare an extra set of accessories for oil and machine filter and put them in the car. Brake pads should be able to meet the daily strength of more than 20,000 kilometers (we traveled to Lhasa for 8,000 kilometers), the spare tire must be checked, and the tools on the car (mainly the tools for changing tires must be brought together).

Self-driving in Tibet is a great test for vehicles, especially the reliability of tires and brake systems, so we must do a good job of inspection. If the wear and tear is relatively large, it is suggested that you should not be reluctant to spend money to buy a brand-new set to provide sufficient security for your trip to Tibet.

Spark plugs and batteries are easily overlooked, so we must check them. If the spark plug is cracked or damaged, the battery voltage is low and the power is insufficient, it is recommended to replace it in time to avoid the problem of ignition on the road. If you ride a bike on your way to road trip, you will encounter this situation halfway, that is, you shouldn't call every day.

It is suggested to prepare a multifunctional air pump to support tire pressure monitoring, inflation, battery charging and other functions. You can check the tire pressure at any time on the road, deflate and inflate in time, and adjust the appropriate tire pressure. I bought one online, only a few hundred dollars. It is really useful.

If you don't buy a multifunctional pump, it is recommended to prepare a pair of battery connections in case the battery is dead and you can't hit the car. You can call the car by connecting the electricity of other vehicles, and you can also help riders who encounter similar problems along the way. I met this problem when I arrived in Golmud by car in Tibet. I relied on my bike friend's car to try to get to the 4S shop in Xi 'an to replace the battery.

The spare tire of the car must be taken out for a comprehensive inspection. Because the spare tires of most vehicles are not used for a long time, they may age and leak. It must be checked well. If there are hidden dangers, replace the new tires in time. In addition, if you are going to drive to some places with complicated road conditions and there is room in the car or on the roof, you can consider taking an extra spare tire in case of emergency.

You can buy a set of tire repair tools online. There is a lot of gravel on the way to Tibet, and it is easy to get stuck in the tire. Once there is a flat tire and air leakage, it will be very passive to find a place to repair the tire. If you bring your own tools, you can mend the tire yourself. Of course, this method is suitable for friends with strong hands-on ability.

Prepare documents, personal identification cards. Public security checkpoints have been set up at all major passages into Tibet to check and register passing vehicles and personnel. So be sure to bring your personal ID card within the validity period. In addition, in order to cope with unexpected needs, it is recommended to prepare more copies of ID cards.

If the household registration book is a family parent-child tour and you are going to take your child to Tibet, you'd better apply for an ID card for your child. If you don't have time to do it, be sure to bring your household registration book. The security check in Tibet should be the same as your child's.

Driver's license. Checkpoints should check the ID card, driver's license and driving license, which are indispensable, otherwise the self-driving vehicles will not be released. In addition, the gas station also needs to provide these two certificates for registration, otherwise it is impossible to refuel, and it is unreasonable to ride without a driver's license and driving license.

If you only take the traditional routes of Sichuan-Tibet line, Yunnan-Tibet line and Qinghai-Tibet line to Lhasa and don't go to the border counties such as Everest Base Camp, Ali, Shannan and Shigatse, you don't need to apply for a border card. After all, it's a little troublesome. If you want to go to Everest Base Camp, Ali and other areas, it is recommended to handle it at the local police station before departure. The certificate is valid for three months. In order to avoid the expiration of the certificate during the trip, special attention should be paid not to do it too early.

Petrochina's fuel card. This is not discrimination against Sinopec. There are PetroChina gas stations in all counties in Tibet, but Sinopec gas stations are very limited. It is convenient to refuel, and the oil supply is also sufficient. But if you use cash to refuel, you need to register your certificate information. Not if there is a gas card in the real-name registration system. It is suggested to get a petrol card for PetroChina in advance, and charge 4500 yuan in advance, which is almost enough for the whole journey.

Clothing preparation is different from traveling in cold areas. The temperature difference between day and night in Tibet Plateau is large, with strong daytime, dry weather and cold at night. Therefore, the choice of clothing should be based on the principles of perspiration, warmth and sun protection.

Do not wear and carry warm clothes and thick cotton underwear with poor perspiration effect. Sweating without absorbing water is the first principle, otherwise you will catch a cold soon after sweating, especially easy to catch a cold.

In late spring, summer and autumn, the temperature in Tibet is relatively high during the day. Wearing a pullover and a light down jacket is enough to keep warm, and sometimes even a single coat with short sleeves is ok, but the temperature is low at night. It is recommended to prepare a coat with good cold-proof effect, such as a jacket. But if you don't go to Medog for high-intensity hiking, you can wear a coat or trousers with certain warm and windproof effects. Jeans are the mainstream. Passport and border card (basically not needed unless you go to Medog). Too much luggage is a burden. In addition to taking things, the principle of my travel is basically to reduce as much as possible, and I can change three sets of clothes. Going out to play is not a catwalk, where the sun is strong and clothes dry quickly. The cold protection of the legs should be done well. It is best to have a pair of sports shoes and hard-soled hiking shoes. You'd better bring sunglasses, sun hat and sun protection clothes.

Preparation of diarrhea medicine. Commonly used drugs, such as Xieliting and Smecta, Tibetan food is not easy to cook because of the low air pressure on the plateau, and on the other hand, most restaurants along the Sichuan-Tibet line are Sichuan restaurants, which taste spicy. For friends with a light diet, it may cause the risk of gastroenteritis, diarrhea and other symptoms after eating, so it is necessary to carry drugs for treating diarrhea.

Painkillers. For example, one of the main symptoms of drugs such as fenbid, aspirin and caffeine powder is headache. Once this symptom occurs, it is recommended to take medicine at the first time to relieve headache and discomfort, otherwise the symptoms will worsen and you will not be able to sleep at night, which will seriously affect the state of the next day.

Glucose powder or glucose water. It is mainly used to improve blood sugar content and relieve dizziness symptoms when hypoglycemia symptoms such as dizziness appear.

Cold medicine, antipyretic medicine, etc. In case of emergency.

Oxygen bag. It is recommended to carry one or two oxygen bags and fill the hospital or clinic with oxygen. In case of severe hyperreaction, oxygen should be inhaled in time.

Food preparation in go on road trip, Tibet, is far away from counties along the line, usually around 100 km, which takes 3-6 hours. The road conditions of Sichuan-Tibet line are complex, especially in rainy season, and there are many risks, so there is no guarantee that there will be landslides, road repairs and traffic jams. Once blocked in the middle of the road, it is very convenient to eat in the wild. It is recommended to prepare more pure water.

Preparations for the travel plan

Go on road trip, Tibet is different from the conventional road trip, facing more challenges and risks, and the road conditions and services along the way need to be understood and prepared. It is suggested to study the whole route and itinerary plan and the general situation of catering and accommodation in the counties that will pass by on the way before departure. If it is in the tourist season, it is recommended to book in advance. For the daily travel distance plan and which scenic spots to visit, it is best to do your homework in advance.

Transportation cost and gasoline cost: because we don't know where the topic begins, it is difficult to estimate the distance, so we can only assume the whole journey 10000 km. The fuel consumption of general vehicles is mostly in the range of 8- 10, and the estimated gasoline cost is about 7000 yuan. If it is a large displacement vehicle, the fuel cost is higher.

Toll: mainly the high-speed toll from your departure point to Chengdu, and the high-speed toll from Qinghai to your departure point, which is basically about 5 or 6 cents per kilometer. Assuming a total of 5000 kilometers, this part of the cost is expected to be around 3000 yuan.

10000 yuan transportation budget should be enough.

Generally speaking, the prices of inns and budget hotels on the Sichuan-Tibet and Qinghai-Tibet lines are mostly in the range of 200-400 yuan, which will be cheaper in the off-season, with the average price around 300 yuan. Generally speaking, according to the 20-25-day trip, the accommodation fee is estimated to be around 7000 yuan.

Our family went to Tibet at that time, and the food and beverage expenses were about 50-70 yuan. A family of three travels with friends, and every meal is basically a dinner. There are fish, meat, hot pot and vegetables, and the food is ok. The cost of meals, fruits and snacks a day will not exceed that of 200 yuan.

In terms of 25 days, I think it's good to have 5000 yuan or 6000 yuan to eat.

Cost problem. Let's talk about the cost first. Before talking about the cost, we have to talk about the route to Tibet, because different routes may produce different costs. There are generally two routes to Tibet, the southern part of the Sichuan-Tibet line and the northern part of the Sichuan-Tibet line. The southern part of the Sichuan-Tibet line has good road conditions and is suitable for people who travel for the first time or lightly. There are many people and cars traveling in the south of the Sichuan-Tibet line, and there are many gas stations and hotels along the way. There is no need to worry about this. Hotel prices are similar to those in the mainland. It is not recommended to enter Tibet for the first time because of the bad road conditions in the northern part of Sichuan-Tibet line. By the way, the southern part of the Sichuan-Tibet line is National Highway 3 18, which has been well repaired in recent years. No matter the southern line or the northern line of Sichuan and Tibet, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery you can't imagine. The route can be Baidu, so I won't write it out. ) I have roughly calculated the total cost. Actually, it's not much. It's 6000 to 10000 per capita, depending on my consumption level.

Vehicle maintenance costs Generally speaking, most riders will do maintenance before and after driving into Tibet. This project involves the replacement of engine oil, mechanical filter and air filter, remote inspection, etc. The cost is 65,438+0,000 yuan.

If it involves replacing wearing parts such as tires, brake pads and batteries, it is estimated that it will cost 2,000-4,000 yuan. .

To sum up, all expenses will be about 2.5W-3W, which should be a very abundant budget.
