Altitude
sickness
At Lhasa lies at over
12000 feet, you are likely
to experience some of the
minor symptoms and
discomfort of altitude
sickness (headache, mild
nausea, and loss of
appetite) until your body
adjusts to the elevation.
This can take from a few
hours to a couple of days,
depending on the individual.
Take it lightly, but drink
plenty of non-alcoholic
liquids. Proper hydration is
critical to acclimatization.

Possibly, some will feel
some symptoms. You must make
sure to drink plenty of
fluids to help you
acclimatize. The choice of
hotels enroute (except Lhasa)
is extremely limited. Hotels
are basic with showers,

facilities only. Food is not
readily available. We
recommend you carry packed
lunch from the hotels. We
suggest you bring a canteen
or water bottles with
purification tablet or a
water filter pump and refill
your bottles at every
opportunity. Meals enroute
(until Lhasa) tend to be
greasy and you may want to
bring snacks or other
foodstuff with you. We
therefore suggest you to
