What should I do to prepare for Tibet? Is this the right season to go?

To go to Tibet need to prepare:

1. backpack

Backpack: no matter what you backpack how beautiful, you should also pay attention to two points; there should be a large and a small two packs, not counting to go to Mount Everest, not counting to go to what the mountain south of the Linzhi or Namucuo this kind of place close to Lhasa. If you are going to Ali, or northern Tibet or Coco Sicily. The journey should be around 20+ to 60 days. So you should keep at least one set of clean clothes from inside to outside in a small bag and leave it in Lhasa. This way you will have at least one set of clean clothes to change when you return to Lhasa. You won't be coaxed out as a Tibetan when you go to the Donkey Bar at night for a relaxing dip to show off. This bag is for reserve use so it needs to be smaller. No matter what brand of bag you carry. Must remember to buy a large woven belt in Lhasa, can be loaded down your big bag of the kind of woven belt, because out of Rikaze is not in the asphalt road, whether it is the southern line of the small northern line or the big northern line or Tibetan north. Plateau Gobi dirt road dust, how beautiful you more petty bag will become the same color as the Tibetan sacks, if it is a chartered car may be okay, if it is a big box, a trip to Ali down your high-level bag absolutely into a sack, so the bag outside the set of a braided belt is a wonderful way.

2. Hiking shoes

Non-slip, breathable and ankle protection is a priority, because the smooth rocks and potholes in the wilderness is the road surface is the most can make you forget the pain killer, and good breathability will let your feet sweat evaporate quickly, the dry feeling will enable you to reduce the chances of wounds, of course, the shoes can be waterproof is the best (generally breathable waterproof will not be too good, Gore-tex is also the best shoes, the waterproof is not too good). Gore-tex is no exception, my Gore-tex in Tibet was corroded by the hot springs, haha miserable ah)

Shoes: see what you go to Tibet? If you are tough! You must hike and play all of Tibet! What good shoes are useless, can not walk two days on the rotten, you'd better wear liberation shoes, easy to buy and easy to change. They can be sold in any county in Tibet. If not, the waterproof performance of the shoes is very important, especially if you want to go to the sacred mountain or to go to the Cocoanutian, at an altitude of 5000 meters above the place, that is, the summer will also be a wind a hail a snow a rain, once trapped in the car you have to come down to push the car or digging the car. Shoes are not waterproof, then you will be miserable; turn the mountain will also enter the snow line above, about 5600 meters above sea level, waterproof performance is very important. You can also buy a pair of comfortable cloth shoes in Lhasa, sitting in the car for a whole month wearing hiking shoes is really funny, cloth shoes wear bad can also be in any town and then buy a new pair of 5-8 yuan

3. Clothes

As long as you can keep warm, clothing this thing does not seem to have a great impact on the safety of life, think of the bad environment in the wilderness, you wear an expensive clothes will you want to? I don't think I'd be able to afford it. I can't afford it, as long as it's warm and breathes well, you can even buy a military coat in Lhasa.

I'd like to ~, as if the whole of Tibet are robbers, in fact, close to Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai area of the Khamber people do have some bad reputation. However, the Tibetans, Weiba, Tui Ba, Ando people are much more pure and simple. So in the wild outerwear must be brightly colored, must be good rain performance, good breathability, good wind performance. The northern Tibetan plateau is very strange, like on the moon like, the sun this half of the body is warm, the sun does not place the cold wind piercing the bones. So the warm layer must be thick, to have a down jacket or down liner, the best fluffiness in 700 or more. If the winter in Tibet but also thicker and thicker down pants, warm layer and fleece jacket, not look pretty kind of fleece but really warm kind. The best underwear underwear to prepare a few more sets, it is difficult to meet the place where you can take a shower and hurry to change. If it is a girl close to the clothes should be brought enough, from Lhasa to Shiquanhe almost no opportunity for you to wash clothes, dirty have to throw away. There is also a detail, is the mask. The same reason as above, is a good way to resist the dust along the way, but to buy a few more very cheap with dirty can be thrown away.

4. Sleeping bag

Sleeping bag can give you a little bit in the wild is difficult to find a sense of coziness, and a good sleeping environment, is the next day you are full of energy necessary conditions, Tibet that ghee flavor you have to be prepared, so it is better to bring a sleeping bag.

Sleeping bags are important, preferably 900 grams of down bags. Not to mention whether camping, deep into Tibet along the way. Basically live Tibetan people's teahouse, Tibetan herdsmen's tents. Note that the inner layer of the sleeping bag must be cotton, never the kind of chemical fiber pretty. Remember to buy woven bags when buying more of a kind with zipper. If the chartered car usually on the road can not put the sleeping bag in the bag. Put in a woven bag, to the place where you do not have to organize a large bag every day, very convenient

5. tent and moisture-proof pad

You if you have a camping field, these two is a must, but the average donkey camping in Tibet is not too much opportunity, it is not necessary to bring these two things, can reduce a good part of the weight of the.

Tent and moisture-proof pads are the best not to bring. In ali guge god mountain god lake and so on can camping. But the driver of the chartered car will never camp with you unless the resistance to large boxes. Camping then just these two supplies are far from enough, stove gas canister set pot food what must be equipped. Camping in northern Tibet is a bit dangerous. The most convenient camping place is the Batson wrong shore, sheep lake shore, Namucuo lake shore and other places close to Lhasa, so you can rent a tent in Lhasa, 20 yuan day, very cost-effective. Remember to rent a tent is not as good as your own, never rent a double-decker.

6. Sun hat and sunglasses

Tibet's ultraviolet rays are very strong, coupled with the plateau of windy, strong sunshine, these two things are still brought with the good, but also can play cool, there is no weight, why not.

Sun hats do not have to bring, go to Bajiao Street to buy a Tibetan-style bowler hat is cooler, especially girls with more cool, I brought back a yak flavor with a full black Tibetan-style bowler hat was lisa piglet snatched away. Sunglasses must be brought or glasses must not be able to stand, the best glasses to have a sling, it is best not to use the invisible or wash every day is very troublesome.

7. Sunscreen and lipstick

This is not a girl's patent in Tibet, we had better bring, think of the nose fading and bleeding, lips pitted feeling, but it is not good Oh.

UV lip balm with a lip balm containing aloe vera extract, rich in vitamin E and sunscreen formula is an indispensable basic equipment. Sunscreen and sun repair cream are required, and no amount of rubbing can be too much. At least 40 times more. Lipstick to colorless kind, in Tibet unless back to Lhasa at night to go to the bar, lipstick is definitely not used for beauty

8. water bags and cutlery

is the consideration of eating and drinking water hygiene problems and bring, water bags are best to keep warm, so that in the cold environment may be able to give you a little bit more kinetic energy.

Water bottles are best with insulation, and cutlery with a spoon is fine. A set of pots and pans is perfectly fine for eating. No need to bring special bowls or anything. Knife is to bring a multi-purpose Swiss Army knife can

9. Swiss Army knife and some other knives

Vigo's Champion series is of course the best choice, but a can open cans, peeling fruits of the knife is a must, not only can bring the convenience of eating, and sometimes can play a little self-defense role it.

10. flashlight, waterproof matches and candles

Tibet electrified places are very few, so the role of these lighting equipment is still very large, and in the wild a bunch of campfires and dispersal of the role of beasts, in general, the animals are afraid of open fire.

Headlamp to bring, the best not to bring the kind of LED-style, that thing can only be in the suburbs when the flower shelf furnishings. Neither illumination nor brightness. To bring a headlamp, regardless of camping or not. Have enough batteries. Candles to bring a big bag, because not many places in northern Tibet have electricity, and even if there is electricity, but also the generator spontaneous power supply time is very short. Batteries and candles can be bought in Lhasa

11. GPS, compass, binoculars

Professional stuff, if you don't have enough money, you can save.

B]Compass is not useful things, outdoor appearance on the elevation ah barometric pressure ah have. I don't need to repeat it. To go to the north of Tibet, then you must bring binoculars, so you can more carefully observe the Tibetan antelope, wild yak, Tibetan wild ass, Tibetan eland, snow leopard, Tibetan fox, Tibetan rock sheep, Tibetan proto-sheep, otter, Tibetan hare, black-necked cranes, and other wildlife I can see the previous in the Animal Planet to see the scenery

12. Toiletries (towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo in a bag, shaving razor, aftershave, mirror)

If you never brush your teeth or wash your face, you can skip these things.

13. food

In the plateau of physical exertion is huge, but the Tibetan diet you can not necessarily get used to, and in the wild is rarely able to eat something, so some high-energy food or to prepare, common portable high-energy food are chocolate, fruit candy, cereal, canned meats, dried fish jerky, compressed biscuits, etc., anyway, try to minimize some of the fluids, it's very troublesome, and the other kind of mouthwash called mouthwash, it's very troublesome. In addition, there is a kind of chewing gum called gargle uncle is said to be able to replace the function of brushing teeth, which is a good choice in the absence of water conditions, but we remembered to enjoy themselves at the same time don't casually persecute the nature, remember.

Taking the long route from Lhasa, it is best to purchase such as a whole box of apples or cucumbers in Lhasa, no matter whether it is to go to the north of Tibet or to go to Ali, all the way as long as you can eat beef and mutton, the meat is not less, along the way there is a Sichuan restaurant, but the fruits and vegetables are very expensive things there. I went to Tibet when 74kg out when 62kg. hehehe

14. medication

I list some more it, medicine this thing or preparedness.

Anti-plateau reaction: plateau rhodiola rosea, glucose oral solution, American ginseng tablets (rhodiola rosea to enter the plateau 15 days before eating, at that time to eat only to solve the psychological problem)

pain category: the biggest symptom of the plateau reaction is a headache, the drugs can be brought with a Bibendum, Biliton, white service Ling, K pain, pain, such as bulk.

Colds and flu: in the plateau, anything can be, just do not catch a cold, once a cold will cause emphysema and other acute plateau disease, we can bring more Banlangen and other colds and flu, drink every day, no side effects, can play a preventive role, and if a little bit of a cold brought about by the discomfort, you can take Contac, white and black and other cold tablets

Gastrointestinal class: the beginning of the plateau, the diet a little bit of carelessness can cause gastrointestinal disorders, and the first time to the plateau, the diet will not pay attention to the food. attention will cause gastrointestinal disorders, you can take with you Huanglianxu, buperacid, laxative, Jiangzhong gastrointestinal tablets and so on. The stomach medicines such as Ma Dingjing are too stimulating, so it is better not to use them.

Nutritional: Jin Shi Er Kang, cod liver oil, vitamin tablets

Topical: band-aid, wind oil essence, Yunnan Baiyao, eye drops, cotton wool, gauze, bandages, Daknein, etc.

Other: motion sickness, of course, to bring motion sickness medicine, easy to take the fire with the ox-huang detoxification pills, a toothache with the teeth, the heart bad with the fast-acting heart pills to bring to persuade everyone to take a heart attack. The best thing is not to go to Tibet, the danger is great.

15. Photography equipment

The best thing to do is to bring two bodies, because the beauty of Tibet will make you have an urge to abuse the shutter. There are lenses, UV lenses, lens paper, blow up balloons, (tripod optional), flash, spare batteries, etc., these like color should not have to say it, film, feel in Tibet on average 1-1.75 film a day, we had better take all from the inside, with the insurance set, sensitivity of 50, 100, 200, 400 bring some, as to how much reversal, it depends on their own! As for how much reversal, it depends on their own preferences, anyway, bring more will not lose, really can not use up, you can also "relief" others! Or when the communication with the gift (100 of the roll), in when the wrong side of the sacred lake and other places in Ali, in the Twin Lakes have given la lama and the county secretary film, Hirsch certainly did not give them 100VS. also remember to bring a small digital, many temples are not allowed to take pictures, but no one followed you, the big guys naturally not bring in, to shoot the frescoes, rely on a small digital la.

16. documents, money

Identity card / passport (passport can be exempted from the pass in many places) / student card / unit certificate / border card / press card (this thing will give you in exchange for free hospitality at the military station) / cash / postal green card, the national UnionPay card as if the Tibet Autonomous Region is not in the scope of the Postal Green Card is still the most viable, to do a bar, the day of no money and on the body. The day you don't have money and the day you have money on you can't live with it.

17. Other

Mobile phone (many places without signal), lighters, mosquito coils, condoms, plastic sheeting, rubber bands, nylon rope, steel wire rope, safety pins, needle and thread bag, notepad, signing pens, maps, waterproof watches, non-slip gloves, magnifying glass ...... It's not too much to ask, but we'll take what we need.

Here, I want to emphasize in particular, the fishing rod, in the north of Tibet or Ali just a small river gully you can see 1-3 pounds of plateau fish, swimming speed is very fast, but I prefer to harpoon. Unfortunately, I did not bring, I have caught a dozen with my bare hands, incense ah ~ ~ ~

Lastly, we must pay attention to environmental protection in Tibet, the things that can not be degraded to bring back to deal with the original. You can relieve yourself anywhere, or favorable ecological balance, but remember not to throw debris :-) I have seen a few horses from Chengdu, what photography magazine car, the rear of the car sticker what what "into Ali" all the way to the bullish, a person with a very impressive equipment, people are also very impressive, but all the way to throw mineral water bottles, all the way to throw glue! The first thing that you need to do is to get rid of all the bottles of mineral water, and all the way to the film box, and I'm like a cynic to go after them, but they don't understand the language, so I'm dizzy and I can't help it!

I hope you're satisfied with my answer
