Beautiful Sichuan-Tibet line, the magical snowy plateau. Many travellers always yearn for Tibet, and many photographers come here with heavy equipment. There are photographers' paradise Xinduqiao on the Sichuan-Tibet line. There is the world's highest city, Litang, there is the Miwu Lake, and there are Linzhi, which has peach blossoms. If you can, you can go to Daocheng, Aden. Find a group of friends and drive a car. Self-driving 318, all the way to Yangge photography, it may be a very happy thing. The blue sky, the golden meadows, the yak and the beasts on the road, the Tibetan-style buildings, are curious about these strange and magical elements. Because the poster is high, you can see the starry sky when you look up at night. Even if it is a mobile phone, you can take good-looking photos. If you have time, you must take the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line.

Stunning Glacier in Tibet

On our drive through Tibet we stopped to see Karola Glacier. This glacier has a peak elevation of 5560 meters and had so much snow in early October. It is located in Shigatse in the Tibet Autonomous Region and is located close to Mount Naiqing Kangsang, which is one of the four tallest mountains in Tibet. We passed here after spending our morning viewing the stunning Yamdrok Lake and then continued on our way towards the highlight of our trip…Everest Base Camp!

Dreaming of Ali—12-Day Deep Exploration of Ali's Northern Route.

Tibet Ali. Led by a photographer guide, this is the Tibet of Tibet, the farthest wander of the soul. Here is vast and desolate, here everything grows, here are majestic white snow-capped mountains, blue ethereal lakes, freely running elves, devout and simple believers. Stepping into this land, one feels not only shock but also awe and emotion. This is the travel route crowned as the 'ceiling of travel'. Itinerary: D1 Lhasa—Yamdrok Lake—Karo La Glacier—Manla Reservoir—Shigatse D2 Shigatse—Tashilhunpo Monastery—Gawu La Pass—Gyatso La Pass—Gawu La Pass—Everest Base Camp D3 Everest—Peiku Tso—Shishapangma (distant view)—Saga D4 Non-Kora: Saga—Zhongba—Maquan River Wetland Park—Gong Tso—Mount Kailash (Sacred Mountain)—Darchen Kora: Saga—Zhongba—Maquan River Wetland Park—Gong Tso—Mount Kailash (Sacred Mountain)—Darchen (by car + hiking) Start Kora around 2 PM, try to stay at Zhire Monastery at night (porter and guide self-arranged) D5 Non-Kora: Darchen—Lake Manasarovar (by car)—Lake Rakshastal (Ghost Lake)—Darchen Kora: Zhire Monastery—Darchen (this day is for Kora hiking) D6 Darchen—Piyang Caves—Zanda Earth Forest—Guge Kingdom—Tholing Monastery—Zanda D7 Zanda—Shiquanhe—Pangong Tso—Rutog Rock Paintings—Shiquanhe D8 Shiquanhe Town—Geji County—Xiongba Township—Yare Township—Rindo Township D9 Rindo Township—Renqingxiubu Tso—Dawa Tso—Angla Ren Tso—Zabuye Chaka Salt Lake—Coqen County D10 Coqen—Zhari Namco—Dangre Yongcuo—Wenbu South Village D11 Wenbu South Village—Wenbu North Village—Dangqiong Tso—Nima—Selin Tso—Bangong Tso—Bangong D12 Bangong—Half Circle of Namtso—Namtso Tashi Peninsula—Nagen La Pass—Nyainqentanglha Mountain Viewing Platform—distant view of Yangbajing Hot Springs—Lhasa Warm Tips: The average altitude in Ali is 4500 meters, so most people traveling to Ali will experience some altitude sickness, mainly manifested as headaches, vomiting, shortness of breath, chest tightness, bloating, loss of appetite, and poor sleep. Generally, a 2-3 day adaptation period in Lhasa is needed. Rest more, speak slowly to conserve energy, and take pain relievers like Bufalin or Acetaminophen to alleviate headaches. The accommodation conditions in Ali are relatively poor compared to other regions of Tibet, especially below the county level, usually pastoral homestays and local guesthouses. Be prepared for a psychological gap.

Although the average altitude of Mount Kailash is only about 3900 meters, to circumambulate it, you must conquer the Drolma La Pass at an altitude of 5630 meters. Therefore, those with severe altitude sickness should not attempt the circumambulation! 2. If you experience altitude sickness during the circumambulation, please stop immediately. Every year, some people become one with the sacred mountain due to altitude sickness! 3. Of course, altitude sickness is not insurmountable, but we urge everyone to act within their limits! 4. The best time to circumambulate Mount Kailash is from August to September each year. October is also possible, but it will be much colder. Climbing is not allowed after winter begins, as the mountain will be closed! 5. Moreover, in mid to late October each year, the ticket office and rescue vehicles of the Mount Kailash scenic area will withdraw from the area, and many supply points along the circumambulation route will also withdraw. So, do not be stubborn. If you encounter heavy snow and get lost during the circumambulation, especially near the Drolma La Pass, the chances of being rescued are very slim. We advise all tourists not to attempt the circumambulation during the mountain closure period!

I have written a 9-day guide to Tibet Ali for you

I have written a 9-day guide to Tibet Ali for you (live picture with tips) Ali's small northern route 9-day itinerary D1: Lhasa - Yamdrok Lake - Karola Glacier - Manla Reservoir - Shigatse D2: Shigatse - Dingri - Gawula Pass - Everest Base Camp D3: Everest Base Camp - Shishapangma - Peiku Tso - Saga D4: Saga - Mapam Yumco - Namnani Peak - Lang Co - Tarqin D5: Tarqin - Mount Kailash - Zanda Clay Forest - Guge Kingdom D6: Tarqin - Maquan River - Zhongba - Saga D7: Saga - Daggar Fountain - Coqen - Dangra Yumco - Wunbun Village D8: Wunbun Village - Nyima - Selincuo - Lake Wrong - Bangoin D9: Bangoin - Namtso - Nagqu Pass - Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains - Lhasa ------------------------------------^-^------------------------------------ Warm Tips 1⃣Altitude sickness: The average altitude in the Ali region is above 4500+, it is recommended for first-timers to Tibet to prepare oxygen bottles in advance and use them when feeling uncomfortable. It will not cause dependence, and Rhodiola is useless. It is best to have some glucose or candy in your mouth at all times. ⚠I had no altitude sickness throughout the journey, be careful not to jump around at high altitudes. 2⃣Food and lodging: Basically staying in county towns, clean hotels with electric blankets, private bathrooms, or floor heating, non-oxygenated rooms need to bring their own oxygen. Breakfast is mostly 20 yuan per person, lunch is Sichuan or Northeastern cuisine, not particularly delicious but filling. ⚠It is recommended to bring your own snacks to eat on the road, as meals may not be on time. 3⃣Restrooms: In the Ali region, due to limited conditions, many restrooms in the wilderness are dry toilets without water for washing hands. ⚠Those with a strong need for cleanliness may find it difficult to accept, be mentally prepared. 4⃣Attractions: Many attractions require tickets, but not necessarily for visiting various lakes on small paths; Everest Base Camp can stay at the foot of the mountain in a village at an altitude of 4200, which is more comfortable than tents on the mountain. 5⃣Other: -The climate is very dry, prepare water, lip balm, and sunglasses for full-body physical sun protection. -Traveling by car for 4-8 hours a day, prepare snacks and get enough sleep. -Without Ali, there is no Tibet, although it is hard, it is very worthwhile. Pay attention to safety when self-driving, some dirt roads are not easy to travel, but overall the roads are very good. I wish everyone a happy time in Tibet! So far, it is my favorite scenic spot in China!!

The truth is harsh, but it reflects the current state of travel in Tibet during July and August

For those who want to travel to Tibet, listening to the advice of those who have been there can save you a lot of detours. These are all harsh truths, which may be unpleasant to hear, but they reflect the current state of travel in Tibet during July and August. In recent years, tourism in Tibet has been booming. During the peak season, it's no exaggeration to say that it's extremely crowded, and tickets for the Potala Palace are hard to come by. In Tibet, during July and August, the midday heat is intense, causing dizziness and headaches, and due to the crowds, you'll have to queue for meals, tourist spots, and even toilets. Hotel and ticket prices rise, and the overall cost is higher than usual. If you have the time, consider leaving in May or June, when there are fewer people, the scenery is beautiful, and the prices are more reasonable. Join a pure travel small group, with food, accommodation, travel, tickets, and insurance all included, plus a Tibetan dress photo shoot, which is really relaxing and worry-free. Along the way, you'll check in at the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, Mount Namjagbarwa, Yamdrok Lake, Mount Everest, and Namtso, enjoying the ultimate visual feast every day. 🌈 About altitude sickness 🔸 Attitude is very important, and not everyone gets altitude sickness; everyone's situation is different. 🔸 After arriving in Lhasa, go to the hotel to rest well. Try not to wash your hair or take a bath in the first two days to avoid catching a cold. 🔸 Bring anti-altitude sickness medication, such as Gaoyuan An (effective for insomnia), glucose (effective for dizziness), ibuprofen (for headaches and limb pain), as well as common medications like cold and motion sickness pills, and prepare according to your usual health condition. ✅ Travel Tips 〇 The temperature difference between day and night in Tibet is large, so even in summer, you need to prepare warm clothes to avoid catching a cold, which can be miserable. 〇 Prepare some cash, including small change, as you might need it for toilets sometimes. 〇 Keep your phone charged at all times, and it's best to carry two large power banks. 〇 The UV radiation is strong in the high-altitude areas, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun with high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, sun-protective clothing, hats, masks, etc. 〇 In the scenic areas, there will be beautifully dressed horses, lambs, Tibetan mastiffs, and other small animals for photo opportunities, but they charge a fee. Be sure to negotiate the price in advance, usually 10-20 yuan, and bargaining is possible. 🚙 Recommended Route - Panoramic 6-Day Tour Day 1: Lhasa → Mila Pass → Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon → Sosong Village Day 2: Sosong Village → Mount Namjagbarwa → Gongdelin Grassland → Zedang Day 3: Zedang → Yamdrok Lake → Karola Glacier → Manla Reservoir → Shigatse Day 4: Shigatse → Gyatso La Pass → Everest Base Camp Day 5: Everest Base Camp → Gawula Pass → Nimu Prairie → Damxung Day 6: Damxung → Northern Tibetan Grassland → Nagqu La Pass → Namtso → Lhasa 🌲 Highlights of the Trip ✨ Luxury nine-seater MPV land first class, with drone support throughout the journey ✨ Prayer flags + longda + mineral water + 10 liters of medical oxygen ✨ Urban Potala Palace Tibetan dress photo shoot (retouched + 10 film negatives + makeup) ✨ Accommodation upgrade, independent standard rooms in Everest homestay + oxygen hotels in Damxung and Shigatse ✨ Specialty meals, yak meat soup pot + Linzhi stone pot chicken + Everest hot pot

A person bravely explores Tibet: An eight-day real expense share

Tibet is really not a place to just go on a whim 🤬 Without preparation, you will definitely encounter pitfalls!!! Tibet is suitable for travel all year round, but during the peak summer season, it's overcrowded and you have to queue up for attractions. It's recommended that sisters with time can set out in May-June 🌟 to avoid the peak season and have a full experience. · ⚠ About altitude sickness Many friends worry about getting altitude sickness when entering Tibet. For first-timers to high altitudes, it's common to experience some degree of altitude sickness, which usually gets better after a few days. However, some may suffer more severely and should seek timely hospital treatment for oxygen and IV fluids. You won't know if you'll get altitude sickness until you're there, but don't worry too much. Take precautions and pay attention to the following points 👇👇👇, personally tested! They are very helpful in alleviating altitude sickness~ . ⚠ Preventing altitude sickness 👇 Taking Rhodiola one week in advance can improve the body's tolerance to hypoxia. 👇 Definitely do not bathe or wash your hair in the first two days after arriving in Lhasa to avoid catching a cold which can worsen altitude sickness. 👇 Upon arrival at the plateau, avoid high-intensity, frequent exercise; walk slowly and rest often. 👇 Traveling in Tibet involves long car journeys, and high altitudes can deplete energy faster. Hunger can worsen altitude sickness, so always carry high-calorie snacks like chocolate/glucose to replenish energy in time. 👇 Be sure to keep warm, especially your head. Hats are essential as many attractions are quite windy. 👇 It's advisable to carry a thermos; drinking hot water in cold weather is really comfortable and also helps alleviate altitude sickness. . ⚠ Other Tips ☑ There are really many winding mountain roads in Tibet, especially the 108 turns near Mount Everest, which can easily cause motion sickness. Remember to prepare motion sickness medicine or patches. ☑ The ultraviolet rays in Tibet are very strong, so daily sun protection is necessary. Sunglasses and sun hats are indispensable. ☑ The air in Tibet is really dry, so it's important to stay hydrated and moisturized. Carry a lip balm; the inside of your nose can also get very dry and painful, so consider bringing nasal spray or erythromycin ointment. ☑ The Lhasa city area is not large, and you can travel freely. Lhasa must-visits: Potala Palace, Barkhor Street, Jokhang Temple, Medicine King Mountain, Tibet Museum, Tashilhunpo Monastery, Sera Monastery, Nanshan Park. Other attractions in Tibet are far away, and since there are no direct buses to the attractions, it's recommended to join a local non-shopping tour group, which is very convenient and saves trouble! You can refer to the following itinerary~ The scenery is beautiful, and the experience is also very good. ·· ⚠ To experience the full panorama of Tibet, refer to 🔽🔽 1⃣: Lhasa → via Mila Mountain Pass → Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon → Sosong Village (fixed-point aerial photography) 2⃣: Distant view of Namcha Barwa → via Gongdelin Prairie → Monkey Platform or Changzhu Monastery 3⃣: Via Gangbala Mountain → Yamdrok Lake → Karola Glacier → Manla Reservoir → Shigatse 4⃣: Dingri → via Jiacuola Mountain Pass → Everest Base Camp 5⃣: Via Gau La Mountain Pass → Dingri → via Nyemo Prairie → Damxung 6⃣: Via the Northern Tibetan Grassland → via Nagqu La Mountain Pass → Namtso → Damxung to Lhasa
