🚨 Just Back from Tibet (June 25)! Here’s Our Must-Know Advice... 😖

Most travelers don’t realize: Your entry route MATTERS! 👉 Start in Nyingchi —lower altitude (3,000m) + oxygen-rich. Spend 2 days acclimatizing there before heading to Lhasa! 📝 Survival Tips for Tibet 1️⃣ Skip raw yak meat dip if you have a sensitive stomach. 2️⃣ Kailash trek? Newbies should admire it from Darchen (full circuit = 5,000m+!). 3️⃣ Zhaxi Lhakhang: Go before 7AM or afternoon on Wednesdays (avoid crowds!). 4️⃣ Avoid barley wine at first—alcohol + altitude = bad combo! 5️⃣ Don’t move stones near sacred lakes/mountains (local taboo!). 🔺 Pro Add-ons: ✔ Book Potala Palace tickets 1 week ahead (summer = packed!). ✔ Nasal ointment (it’s DRY!) + down jacket (nights = freezing!). ✔ No showers/heavy activity for first 48hrs! ✔ Combat AMS: Drink warm water, eat sweets, stay relaxed! 🚗 Our 7-Day Itinerary 🟡 Day 1: Nyingchi → Buddha’s Palm Dunes (desert+forest+peaks!) → Ancient Courtyard Stay 🟡 Day 2: Namcha Barwa views → Sekila Pass (4,728m) → Zhatanglu Lake hike 🟡 Day 3: Horseback riding in Lulang → Alpine café → Basum Tso Lake 🟡 Day 4: Boat ride on Basum Tso → Drive to Lhasa 🟡 Day 5: Potala Palace → 300yo Tibetan house → Incense-making + photo shoot 🟡 Day 6: Zhaxi Lhakhang (Wealth Temple) → Jokhang Temple → Thangka painting 🟡 Day 7: Yamdrok Lake (that BLUE!) → Fly home ✈️ #TibetTips #NyingchiFirst #PotalaPalace #SacredLakes
