Travel advice for your Tibet trip

  • Catching a cold in the high altitude, or having a case of hypothermia, is not a good sign. In any such case, you immediately need to resort to medical help as uncontrolled shivering very soon gives way to dizziness and shallow breathing. Keep yourself warm and dry, consume warm drinks and high-calorie foods but avoid alcohol.
  • Plan ahead instead of getting to Tibet and then planning your trip. If your tour itinerary is confirmed, you can start enjoying right from the moment you arrive in Tibet.
  • Traveling in groups is a cost-effective way of exploring the delights and attractions offered by Tibet. Guided group tours ramp up the excitement factor for your Tibet visit.
  • It is a wise decision to carry warm clothes with your regardless of which time of the year you visit Tibet. Even if it’s the warmer season, the high altitude of many Tibetan locations has very low temperatures.
  • Go over the options for accommodation available in Tibet before your trip. Whether you are looking for budget-friendly or luxurious accommodations, consulting with your tour agency will give you a better idea regarding prices and availability.
  • Air and train tickets are in great demand during the peak tourism seasons, from April to May and September to October. So, you should definitely book tickets and accommodations months earlier than your visiting time.
  • If you are planning a customized tour, a tour operator still needs some time to arrange sightseeing, accommodations, and amenities based on your schedule.
  • Once you receive your Tibet Travel Permit, make several copies of it. You need to carry the original document but some places might require submitting photocopied versions.
  • Carry your hiking boots if you are traveling to Tibet with the aim of going on trekking trips in Tibet. Keep in mind that the terrain in Tibet can be quite uneven at places.
  • If you are a person who has any serious medical condition, make sure to carry appropriate medication. High altitude sickness is also something that can affect anyone. So, stay hydrated, eat carbohydrate-rich foods and communicate with the guides effectively.
