So you plan on making it to Tingri and not spending a night here? Well let me tell you that you’d be missing of an incredible experience. Whether you’re seeking inner peace or just want the adventure, this place will stay in your memory forever. Yes, it’s cold but you already know that, so come prepared. Yes, you’ll suffer from altitude sickness, also come prepared for that; trust me, it’ll be worth it. My advice in terms of accommodation is to lower your expectations to the limit, then be prepared to be pleasantly surprised. I recommend to stay at the monastery’s guest house rather than in a tent. You’ll get a room with two beds, a functional bathroom with a clean and functional toilet, a sink with hot running water. The best part, the floor is heated and at 8:00PM, they will turn the oxygen on, 20 minutes after you’ll feel comfortable and will have a good night sleep. Come prepared with your favorite fruit and snacks, there’s nothing, but that is the marvel of this location, you’ll enjoy the silence and if weather permits, you’ll have a spectacular look at the night sky that will stay in your memory forever. Work on your plan and choose the dates that will offer you the most chances of a clear sky then be prepared to be amazed.
Don’t miss the opportunity of visiting the monastery early in the morning, you’ll feel humble and will appreciated all the things in your life that you take for granted, you’ll have a sample of such a simple, yet happy life style that will most definitely...
