Preparation for Tibet Budget Tour

Tourists planning a Tibet budget tour are highly advised to make a good preparation to deal with the severe natural environment and limited objective condition in Tibet. Tibet Tour would like to provide some information regarding the necessary preparation before enter into Tibet for tourists planning a Tibet budget tour.

Preparation for Tibet Budget Tour – Warm Clothes and Camping Stuffs

Tourists planning a Tibet budget tour should realize that there is obvious temperature difference between day and night on Tibet Plateau all year around for the high altitude sickness. To get protected from the cold in the night, tourists are strongly recommended to prepare enough warm clothes in advance. Tourists planning to do some trekking or adventure activities should also prepare several underwears for changing after sweating while trekking.

To decrease the accommodation cost, some of the tourists planning a Tibet budget tour would like to stay overnight in the guesthouses or camp in the wild. As we all known, the objective condition in the guesthouses is quite limited and a warm sleeping-bag is quite necessary. It could not only provide you a sanitary sleeping space in the guesthouse but also ensure you a more comfortable rest while camping in the wild. A well tent and sleeping-bag could always help you avoid catching an unnecessary cold. Besides, an electric torch is also very necessary, especially in the wild.

Preparation for Tibet Budget Tour – Precaution of Altitude Sickness

The possible altitude sickness might be the biggest concern for tourists planning a Tibet budget tour before enter into Tibet. Tourists making a Tibet budget tour must realize that enter into Tibet by train might not help you to get adapted to the high altitude environment after you arrive in Lhasa since the oxygen supply on the train ensures enough oxygen content on the train. That means tourists have to survive the real plateau environment with low oxygen content after you get off the train. Tibet Tour would like to introduce tourists some useful ways for the precaution of altitude sickness.

Tourists making a Tibet budget tour are strongly recommended to take some Rhodiola rosea, (which is said to be the most effective precaution medicine of altitude sickness) about 15 days before enter into Tibet. Some other commonly used medicines effective in dealing with altitude sickness should also be prepared. Enough rest and water drinking, as well as nutrition supply will help you to get adapted to the plateau environment quickly. Besides, the local Tibetan style food or drink, such as Tsampa and Tibetan butter oil tea will also help you to get a better adaptation in a short time. Drinking and smoking will add more burden to your body on Tibet Plateau with low oxygen content in the air.
