Everything you need to know before embarking on your Tibet adventure — from packing tips to altitude preparation.
Planning a trip to Tibet requires more preparation than a typical vacation. Here is everything you need to know.
Lhasa sits at 3,650 meters. Consult your doctor 6–8 weeks before departure. Discuss altitude medication (Diamox). Arrive well-rested and spend your first days acclimatizing before sightseeing.
Tibet is a deeply spiritual place. Dress modestly at monasteries, ask permission before photographing people, walk clockwise around religious monuments, and be respectful in all sacred spaces.
