Friendly reminder

1. Patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma and severe colds are not suitable for traveling to Tibet. Due to the high altitude of Tibet, you need to adjust your physical condition before entering Tibet, get enough sleep and rest, and take American ginseng appropriately to enhance the body's ability to resist hypoxia. After entering Tibet, please remember: walk slowly, talk less, sleep more, don’t drink alcohol, and prevent colds. In addition, maintaining a good attitude is also a good way to reduce altitude sickness.

2. Tibet is located on a plateau, and most guests will have more or less altitude sickness (headache, chest tightness, etc.). Just pay attention to resting well and eating properly (do not eat too much, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract) Generally speaking, after 1-2 days, the reaction symptoms will gradually reduce or disappear; some drugs can be taken appropriately, such as Gaoyuanan, Rhodiola rosea, Nuodikang, etc. In severe cases, appropriate oxygen inhalation or saline administration can be used. After adapting, altitude sickness will no longer occur during Tibet.

3. It is recommended that tourists choose to fly into Tibet and leave by train:

A. The discount on air tickets to Tibet is better and it is easy to book tickets. In addition, because the time is short and there is no train to enter Tibet, it is tiring. It is easier to adapt to the plateau environment if you have enough time to rest during the day.

B. Ticketing for trains entering Tibet during the peak tourist season in Tibet is relatively tight. Tickets for trains leaving Tibet can be guaranteed, freeing you from worries.

4. In the event of force majeure, we have the right to change the itinerary without reducing the number of attractions. (In order to protect the historic sites of the Potala Palace, it can only receive 2,300 tourists per day, so the Potala Palace may be moved forward or delayed).

5. Due to the long mileage of the Tibet route, you spend a lot of time in the car, so it is inevitable that you will not be able to eat on time. Please bring some snacks and biscuits. The meals during the itinerary are mainly Sichuan cuisine, and can also be adjusted appropriately according to the taste of the guests.

6. Tibet has strong sunshine and a particularly dry climate. Sunscreen (SPF20 or above), sunglasses, lip balm, etc. are essential.

7. The temperature in Tibet is low throughout the year, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Especially in high-altitude areas, such as Mount Everest and Namtso, it is colder in the morning and evening. Please be sure to keep warm and bring a wool sweater and a thick coat. , jeans, etc.

8. Please prepare camera batteries and memory cards so as not to miss the opportunity to freeze the beautiful scenery of the snowy plateau and leave a beautiful memory for yourself!
