Clothing: Warm
clothing are always a must
for the trip. All trekking
gears such as down jacket,
sleeping bags, shirts,
comfortable walking shoes,
long johns, trousers and
skirts, sweaters, jackets,
dust masks, shocks, sun
hats, sun glasses, suntan
lotion, utility knife, water
bottles/ thermos,
flashlights, water purifying
tablets, first aid kit,
toilet & tissue papers are
important through out the
trip.
Health: Travelling in
Tibet mostly in Mt. Kailash
region involves high
altitude & can be strenuous.
Person having blood, lungs &
heart problems should
consult their doctor before
taking any decision
regarding the trip. Though
very few cases of altitude
sickness have been reported,
it is however, normal to
experience some sorts of
headache, fever, loss of
appetite or stomach disorder
before acclimatization.
Accommodation: We will be
arranging your accommodation
while you are with us. We
use high altitude twin
tents. Tented accommodation
includes two men tent with
mass tent for kitchen and
toilet tents for toilet.
Tent for just single person
can be arranged after the
payments of single
supplement or upon request
while booking the trip.
While in Zhangmu, Shigatse
Gynatse, Lhasa we will be
using middle hotel & in
Lhasa we will be using hotel
Himalaya/ Sunlight /similar
on double occupancy basis.
Rooms here are not that of
western standard, so we
request you not to expect
the same as you get in your
country or in Nepal. Please
note our cost includes only
breakfast while you are in a
hotel.
Kathmandu to Lhasa Road:
The journey from Kathmandu
to Lhasa by road should be
viewed as an adventure, not
sightseeing tour by bus. The
road itself was poorly
constructed and is prone to
closer by landslides,
particularly from June
through September. It can be
very dusty and some kind of
facemask is a good idea. As
you drive to altitudes of
over 17000 feet at some
points, altitude sickness
becomes a real probability. |
