I have returned from a brave journey to Tibet, and I'm here to help anyone I can

Do not trust online travel companions for Tibet! Here's some advice from my experience for those who are visiting Tibet for the first time. ‼️ Many online companions are actually travel scams! They trick you into booking a tour and then make excuses for not being able to go... I met my travel companions in a group, and since we met in person and played together, at least it was real. You must bring 🧳 ✅ Glucose and down jackets, so do not underestimate the weather in Tibet. Regardless of whether it's April, May, June, or July, have your down jacket ready. ✅ Personally, I think it's optional to bring ibuprofen. For minor altitude sickness headaches, you can take headache powder, but for severe cases, you can't rely on headache powder, you need to go to the hospital, so no ibuprofen. You can bring: cold medicine, diarrhea treatment, gas relief, indigestion treatment, motion sickness pills. ✅ Bring a power bank, it's essential for going out every day, so it's best to bring two for alternating use. The same goes for hats, have two to switch between. My expenses ‼️ I went during the off-season, and my expenses were around 7,000 yuan, including travel costs, photoshoots, accommodation, joining a tour group, food and drink, and souvenirs. ‼️ Souvenir suggestions For personal consumption/gifting: yak jerky, milk flakes, butter tea, highland barley wine, sweet tea, Tibetan chicken, highland barley egg crisp, yak milk strips. Local must-tries: yak yogurt, fresh milk, yak meat hotpot, Tibetan noodles, sweet tea, Nyingchi stone pot chicken, Tibetan pork, Tibetan chicken, milk residue buns, pickled vegetable noodle pieces, cold noodles. Some points about attractions 1️⃣ Remember to book in advance for the Potala Palace! Otherwise, you can't get in! 2️⃣ Don't forget your ID card! Otherwise, you won't be able to go anywhere in Lhasa, and it would be as if you came to Lhasa for nothing... You'll have to get a temporary one, don't ask me how I know 😭 3️⃣ The post office in the sky is not far from the Potala Palace! Don't miss it, family. It's quite meaningful. You can visit it while going to the Potala Palace. 4️⃣ Namtso when it's frozen is also beautiful, Yamdrok Lake is beautiful, Mount Namcha Barwa is cool, and Mount Everest is cool, you must go! You must take lots and lots of photos! Take hundreds! Points about joining a tour group 1️⃣ It's best to join a tour group for your first trip to Tibet! Tibet is a province, and if you want to go to Mount Everest, you must join a tour group, as self-driving is too far! Over six hundred kilometers could be terrible if you get altitude sickness. 2️⃣ Refuse shopping tours! Refuse low-price tours! Be careful not to be treated like a piglet. 3️⃣ Make sure you understand the itinerary when joining a tour group, the first thing to check in the contract is if there's anything wrong with the itinerary! The second thing is to check the accommodations and meals. Conclusion I was very afraid of altitude sickness for my first trip to Tibet, but once I was in Lhasa, I realized that altitude sickness wasn't as scary as I thought. Altitude sickness really varies from person to person, so everyone doesn't need to be too nervous about it.
