Backpack, sleeping bag, tent, down jacket and jacket:

When traveling in Tibet, backpacks and sleeping bags are essential, unless you are traveling in a group, or just traveling in big cities such as Lhasa, Bayi and Shigatse for a short time.

1, about backpacks.

Backpacks are generally more than 65 liters for men and 45 liters for women. They can be equipped with a small bag of 15 liters, or even better, a purse, which is convenient for storing some small things. In addition, since summer is the rainy season, it is recommended to equip the backpack with a rain cover. For personal use, Paige series are all good, with fine workmanship, thick back bandwidth, comfortable back and certain waterproof performance, but the price is more expensive. Freetime's backpack is cheap (70+ 10 only in 350 yuan), and the back feels good, but it is not waterproof. The sleeping bag compartment below is small, so it is difficult to store sleeping bags.

2. About sleeping bags.

If you travel to Tibet in summer and don't plan to go to some remote areas, an ordinary cotton sleeping bag (80- 100 yuan) is enough, mainly to prevent dirt. If you are not afraid of being dirty, you can leave it. If you travel in winter, even in several big cities in Tibet, you should bring a sleeping bag. In several backpacker hotels in Lhasa, such as Balangxue, Jiri and Ya, ordinary rooms have no heating in winter, and they don't need sleeping bags, just quilts provided by the hotel, which may be frozen in the middle of the night. In winter, it is necessary to go to Ali, the grassland in northern Tibet and the Qinghai-Tibet line, even if there is no camping. Sleeping bags used in winter, if not camping, are about 1 1,000 grams of duck down sleeping bags, with a comfortable temperature scale of MINUS 10 degrees. If camping in the wild, it is best to have a sleeping bag. The comfortable temperature scale is MINUS 20 degrees, which is not easy to penetrate.

3. About tents

In Tibet, the emphasis is on wind and rain protection. A friend went camping in Namco a few days ago and was almost blown away by the wind at night. Remember not to buy ordinary camping tents cheaply, try to buy them before departure, not in Lhasa. Outdoor products in Lhasa are expensive, and there are many fakes. Of course, if you have too much money to spend and you just plan to set up a tent in your room or have an outing near the city to show off, that's fine.

4. About down jackets

Many netizens believe that down jackets are essential for traveling in Tibet. But I think it depends on a person's physical fitness, different seasons and where a person goes. Take myself as an example. Last year1February, I walked along the Qinghai-Tibet line, wearing only a thermal underwear, a cotton vest and a coat. It took me four days and three nights to walk. I don't need the down jacket I brought. It's still hanging Even if you go to Namco in February this year, you won't need a down jacket, let alone summer.

5. About jackets

It is much more convenient to travel to Tibet in summer with a coat. This year, the rainy season in Tibet came ahead of schedule. It often rains in the afternoon and evening, sometimes for several hours. Wearing a coat before going out can effectively protect your belongings from the rain and reduce the chance of getting wet.

Because I haven't been to Sichuan, Yunnan and Xinjiang in person, I can only make some accounts based on my friends' experiences, and there may be some errors. Hope that friends who have been there can make their own suggestions on these routes, such as the latest transportation, accommodation and so on.

If conditions permit, I hope to complete the travel plan of Sichuan-Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet and Xinjiang-Tibet by the end of next year, and I will provide you with the details of these routes then.
