Visiting Tibet is an amazing experience 🤩, but it's not all picture-perfect. There are some not-so-fun stuff that people won’t tell you 🤯🥵😩.
What to expect when visiting Tibet❓
🔅LONG BUS RIDES 🚌 💨
Be prepared for some seriously long bus rides. The journey might be stunning, but your butt might not thank you for it! Expect 8-10 hours bus rides 😱
🔅TOILET ISSUES 🤧
Toilets can be few and far between, and when you do find one, let's just say they’re not always the cleanest! 🤢 I mean expect them to be dirty. So, pack tissues and hand sanitizer!
Tips :
❕If you can smell them from afar, even without going in, expect lots of crap and used tissue lying around
❕If there’s smell plus lots of fat flies even before stepping in, I suggest to just u-turn or enter at your own risks
❕If there’s option to do it in the wild / nature - just go for it! Don’t be shy because it’s 100% cleaner than the toilets
🔅SUNBLOCK IS A MUST! 🌞
Being closer to the sun ☀️ means stronger rays, so slather on that sunblock every 4 hours or risk turning into a crispy pork! Trust me, cause I didn’t get a single sunburn up there!
Tips :
❕Bring bucket hats wide enough to cover the sides of your face
❕ Sunglasses is a must too!
🔅ALTITUDE SICKNESS 🥴
Altitude sickness is real, so take it easy and don’t push yourself too hard. And if you can, splurge on a 5-star hotel cause they have free oxygen to help you breathe easier, especially when sleeping. 😴 Oxygen tanks are pricey up there, so might as well take advantage of the oxygen buffet in 5-star hotels.
Tips :
❕Do not depend too much on the oxygen tank when you first arrive in Tibet. Instead, just give time for your body to adjust
❕Always listen to your guide’s advise, they know best when to take it and when not to
❕Take altitude pills before going to Tibet as prescribed by the doctor - Chinese or Western works.
❕Oxygen price at the time of travel - 5 to 7 hours large tank : SGD135, 3 hours small tank : SGD70
🔅LOCAL GUIDE 💁🏻
A local guide isn’t just helpful - they’re actually required by the country to enter Tibet. 🇷🇪 We booked everything through a travel agency here in Singapore 🇸🇬 , and they partnered with a local guide in Tibet. They took care of all the necessary documents for us, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
🔅TIBET TRAVEL PERMIT 📑
You’ll need a Tibet Travel Permit to enter Tibet. This is the travel agency’s job - as it can only be applied only by a local guide. So, you’ll just need to provide them with the necessary documents. 📑
Tips :
❕Tibet Travel Permit is also required to enter Bakhor Street or any tourist attraction spot when you’re without your guide, so remember to keep a copy of it in your phone 📱 just in case.
✈️ Travel date : 5-14th June 2024 ✈️
