Hiking Tibet

There are many classic hiking routes. I think you are probably talking about hiking, but classic hiking routes generally take no more than a week at most. If you haven't tried it, please think about the following questions:

First, whether you have sufficient physical and mental requirements.

For example, someone upstairs talked about the Medog Line in Tibet. Along the way, you have to go through high-altitude mountainous areas, several leech areas, etc. A friend of mine walked through Medog, and it was really amazing on the third day. When you are exhausted and there are leech that you cannot guard against, your psychology tends to collapse. This is quite dangerous. For another example, when I was hiking through the Blanc Desert, the sun was shining brightly, and the yellow desert was all in my field of vision after walking for many hours, which made people feel desperate. . . .

Second, do you have enough equipment?

Simple ones, such as a suitable pair of hiking shoes, backpacking tent and sleeping bag, GPS or compass, stove and gas tank, suitable hydration container (such as hiking water bag), etc. The speed of hiking is relatively slow. For example, classic hiking routes: running through Medog, crossing the Tiger Leaping Gorge, crossing the Bronque Desert, etc., all take 2-5 days. Without the above equipment, it is impossible to complete.

Third, have you found the right partner?

Personal hiking is extremely dangerous, and it is very important to have a companion who is also experienced and capable. Many times, you also have to find a supply team. For example, the Xilin Gol crossing takes at least 5 days and often requires supply trucks with food and water sources.

Fourth, do you have the basic knowledge of outdoor survival?

For example, how to identify the direction in the wild? How to get water in the wild? How to choose a suitable camping location? Emergency self-rescue skills after heatstroke or mosquito bites, etc., will be directly related to your life safety.

If you are not prepared for these, please be cautious!

The following is a link to some hiking knowledge for you. The green fields mentioned by several people upstairs are indeed very good. Go check it out. Reading other people’s guides will be of great help to you. In addition, there are not many hiking routes in Tibet. Because of its vast territory and sparse population, it is difficult to find suitable food and water supplies. It is not recommended to start hiking in Tibet.

Precautions during hiking

Compared with other forms of tourism, hiking is most affected by the natural world and consumes the most energy. There are several issues that need to be paid special attention to:

p>

1． It is best to travel in groups, at least three or more people, so that they can help and take care of each other along the way. But it is best not to have too many people, otherwise they will interfere with each other and make movement inconvenient. Bring small and light luggage, but be sure to bring some commonly used medicines.

2． Before setting off, you should understand the various conditions of the areas you need to pass, your own physical condition (for example, people with lower limb vascular disease, skin ulcers and flat feet are not suitable for hiking) and the prevailing climate conditions.

3． When hiking in summer, avoid the hottest time from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., wear a straw hat and fill your water bottle with water to avoid heat stroke.

4. To master the walking speed, it is generally slower at the two ends and faster in the middle. You should walk slowly at the beginning, and then speed up after a few days. You should take a big break every day on the way, usually at noon. The resting place should avoid direct sunlight and low-lying, humid places.

5. To ensure adequate sleep time and nutritional supplements, do not only eat dry food for a long time, but try to eat as much fresh fruits and vegetables as possible.

6． It is more ideal to wear travel shoes when hiking, because these shoes have a certain degree of elasticity, are light, breathable, and non-slip. They can have a moderate buffering effect on the brain and can also reduce foot swelling caused by walking long distances. You can wear old and new rubber shoes.

7. If you are going on a long-distance hiking tour, it is best to conduct several adaptive training sessions before departure and gradually increase the amount of exercise to enhance endurance. When walking, use your feet to touch the ground, use moderate force, and maintain body balance.

8． Wash your feet with warm water after walking every day to relieve fatigue. When there are blisters on the soles of your feet, you can use a needle (first rub it with an alcohol cotton ball or burn it on a fire) to draw out the water, and then apply red liquid to prevent infection.

9. When hiking up a mountain, your body should lean forward slightly; when climbing a steep hillside, you should take a zigzag route; when going down a mountain, your body should lean back and relax your lower limb muscles to avoid waist and leg pain.

10． When hiking, you should determine your daily itinerary according to your physical condition. Generally, you should walk 4 to 5 kilometers per hour. After each walk, you can choose to rest for 15 minutes in the shade of a tree, pavilion, etc. to restore your physical strength.

11. Taking a long detour can also be fun. Don't always take the same road, take a long detour and take a look at the surrounding environment. There are different changes due to different climates and seasons. Sometimes you might as well stop and observe carefully, maybe you will make new discoveries.

12. Personal Clothing for Hiking Travel In addition to the basic items mentioned above, it is also very important to have a pair of shoes that you think are comfortable and convenient for hiking. The soles of the shoes should not be too thin, and you should avoid wearing new leather shoes.

Hiking skills

A healthy body and good physical reserves are one of the most important conditions for hiking. There are no shortcuts to this. You must develop a physical training plan that suits you and gradually improve your endurance, strength, and weight-bearing walking. Physical endurance training can be obtained through swimming, mountain climbing, long-distance running, and cycling. Strength training can be done every day. Push-ups, dumbbell lifts, sit-ups, pull-ups to get.

Basic principles and essentials of hiking

Basic principles and essentials of hiking: Hiking is not just a leg exercise, but a whole-body exercise. Pay attention to balancing the body by swinging your arms. , adjust the pace. Control the rhythm. The best walking speed is to walk without panting. Try not to exceed 120 beats/min. Keep your back and shoulders straight. Breathe deeply with your abdomen. Touch the ground with your whole foot. Move from heel to toe. Press yourself at all times. Walk at a consistent walking pace, don't run fast and slow sometimes, stop when you run, and try to keep a constant speed.

You can slow down a little at the beginning of hiking to allow every part of the body to warm up first, and there will be an adaptation process. After 5-10 minutes, you can speed up the pace. During the walk, from a safety perspective, the team members A reasonable distance should be maintained, usually 2-3 meters. This can avoid when someone pauses for various reasons, such as tying shoelaces, taking off clothes, drinking water, etc., so that the paused team members and the advancing team members will not affect each other. Generally, In this situation, the time-out team members stay on the right side, and the advancing team members cross over from the left. When meeting other oncoming teams, they also press my right and the other team's left, and politely give way to each other. The safe distance between the time-out personnel and the team generally cannot exceed ten meters during the day. Minutes or within 200 meters, night must be within 5 minutes or 20 meters. When walking, you must develop a good habit and concentrate on walking. Do not laugh, play or sing loudly while walking. This will not only distract the attention of other team members, but also consume your own physical energy needlessly.

When walking uphill, the center of gravity should be on the front of the soles of the feet, and the body should lean forward slightly. When going downhill, the center of gravity should be on the back of the feet. At the same time, the center of gravity should be lowered, and the body should droop slightly. On steeper slopes, you should walk in a zigzag shape, and try to avoid going straight up and down. This is a relatively safe way to walk. When going up and down slopes, you must use your hands to pull rocks, branches, and rattan. Try pulling to see if it can withstand the force before doing other climbing up and down movements. Team members often fall and get injured because they are pulling withered and rotten branches and canes, leading to accidents.

The principle of rest during walking should also pay attention to the method. Generally, it is a combination of long and short, more short and longer. Generally, short rests along the way should be limited to less than 5 minutes, and backpacks and other equipment should not be removed. Rest mainly while standing to adjust your breathing. It is better to take a long break every 60-90 minutes, and the rest time is 15-20 minutes. When taking a long break, you should remove all weight-bearing equipment such as backpacks and stand for 2-3 minutes to adjust your breathing before sitting down. Do not sit down all at once. Sit down and rest when you stop. This will increase the burden on the heart. You can massage the legs, waist, shoulders and other muscles by yourself or each other, or you can lie down and raise the legs to allow the blood in the congested legs to flow back to the heart as much as possible. Remember: Rest is proactive, not just lying down and resting. During the 100-kilometer walk, I, Indian, Jing Zhongyue, and other six people walked in a small team. We adopted active and active rest principles and relaxed regularly and on time. All of us completed the 100-kilometer walk.

When hiking, you should bring enough drinking water, about 3 liters per person per day, which can be increased or decreased according to weather conditions. It is better to bring more than less. If there is water supply in streams, lakes, ponds, ditches and rivers on the way, you must first observe the pollution of the water source, whether there are no livestock activities, whether there are animal carcasses dumped next to the water, whether there is feces and caterpillar pollution, and whether it is black and smelly. According to If the situation is observed, take sedimentation, filtration, isolation and other methods before drinking. Under normal circumstances, it is best to rub your lips with a small amount of water first, and wait 3-5 minutes before drinking until your lips are no longer numb or itchy, and there is no odor or taste. If possible, it is best to boil the water replenished in the wild for five minutes before drinking. The principle of drinking water should be small and frequent. Drinking water should also be proactive. Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water passively. It is better to drink two or three small sips at a time. If you are too thirsty, you can shorten the drinking time and increase the number of times you drink water. Drinking too much water at one time will not be a waste of precious water sources because the body cannot absorb it, but will increase the burden on the heart.

Generally, the best way to replenish water consumed by outdoor sports such as hiking is 250CC/15min. Urinating during normal hiking time should be 4 hours/time. You can understand the symptoms of water deprivation in your body by observing the color of the urine you excrete. Dark yellow urine, slight thirst, and a normal pulse rate are symptoms of mild dehydration. Dark yellow urine, dry mucous membranes in the mouth, and thirst, and an accelerated but weak pulse rate are symptoms of moderate dehydration. Symptoms of severe dehydration are no urine. , face and skin are pale, breathing is rapid, thirsty and lethargic, pulse is fast and weak.
