Why do young couples traveling in Tibet sleep separately?

We all know that young people, especially young couples, like to be together the most. Even older couples live together and do not live alone like they did when they were single, especially those traveling abroad. Sometimes, I am unfamiliar with the place and want to find a familiar companion. But have you ever traveled to Tibet? Did you go alone or with your boyfriend or girlfriend?

In Tibet, if you are traveling in a group, the local tour guide will give you a suggestion: do not sleep with the opposite sex at night, and it is best if you sleep separately to avoid physical discomfort and some unpleasant events. A good thing is a bad thing. If you are traveling by car, no one may tell you this.

So why did the tour guide say this? Will people listen to tour guides?

In fact, many young couples will not listen to the tour guide’s arrangements and choose to live with their opposite-sex companions. One such couple felt unwell the next day. The main symptoms were headaches, They couldn't breathe well and both of them were sent to the hospital!

In fact, the tour guide made this suggestion carefully, because in Tibet, the average altitude is more than 3,000 meters. People at that time were prone to altitude sickness, let alone their first time traveling to this place. And once people do strenuous exercise, altitude sickness will become more and more severe. In mild cases, they will rest for half a day, and in severe cases, they will go directly to the hospital for treatment. Therefore, the tour guide has no choice but to advise people of the opposite sex not to sleep together. Many people If you don’t listen to the tour guide, it will be too late to regret it if you feel unwell later. Therefore, when traveling, I suggest that you must listen to the tour guide!
