Warm Tips:
1. This day is very critical for tourists who are visiting Tibet for the first time. Most guests will experience altitude sickness to varying degrees. In addition to maintaining a calm state of mind, drinking more water, eating more fruits, and getting enough rest are the best ways to prevent altitude sickness. At the same time, do not drink alcohol, smoke less, and do not take a shower that night.
2. Due to the special conditions in Tibet, most hotels are slightly inferior to hotels of the same level in the mainland in terms of hardware and software; and because of the special region and culture of Tibet, the service awareness of hotel staff is relatively weak, and their attitude is also more casual. Please understand. If you need to add a quilt, you can contact the front desk attendant. Most hotels in Tibet use solar hot water supply. If it is cloudy, the hot water in the room may not be too hot. Please understand!
3. Sejila Pass is the best place to see Mount Namjagbarwa. The best time to see Mount Namjagbarwa is from October to May of the following year.
