Important Pre-departure Information
- Clothing
- Casual wear and comfortable walking shoes are the rule in Tibet. Bring warm clothing because the nights and early mornings can be quite chilly. Indian pilgrims are advised strictly not to wear saris during this yatra. Bring all the items like medicine, cosmetics, personal toiletries, etc. that you will need from home, as these are difficult if not impossible to obtain on the way. A small first-aid kit is also a good idea. Also quite useful is a route map, to know where you are going and have been each day.
- What to take
- Winter wear: Gore-Tex material, though expensive, is highly recommended. Down jacket, raincoat, or windbreaker; thermal underwear; jackets; warm trousers and woolen shirts (cotton will also do); warm sweaters; woolen gloves; a sun hat; comfortable shoes; light leather boots in case of snow; a woolen balaclava (a "monkey cap"); and a scarf or dust mask to protect your eyes and nose from dust.
- Bring with you
- You may bring snacks along the way, such as chocolates, dry fruits, toffees, glucose, namkeen, etc. Strong water bottles and water purifying tablets, Diamox tablets, a personal medical kit (for high altitude), sunglasses (to protect your eyes from UV, which is especially strong at high altitudes), sun block or sun screen lotion, wet tissues (fresh ones are excellent for wiping off the dust), a clothesline or clips, needle and thread, body spray (handy for smelly boots or feet and a round of spray in the toilet tent), toilet paper, a torch, and spare batteries, daypack (small shoulder bag), camera and films, binocular.
- Health
- This is one of the toughest high-altitude road journeys on earth. You must be physically fit—no two ways about that. Generally, patients with asthma and heart problems have a problem acclimatizing to high altitudes. In your interests, it is essential you be examined by your doctor to learn about your health condition and your ability to cope with the rigors of high altitude travel for days in "no road" conditions, extreme cold, dust, trekking to an altitude of 19500 feet during the Parikrama, etc.
- Altitude Sickness
- As you are traveling over high terrain, you are likely to experience symptoms and discomfort of altitude sickness (headache, loss of appetite, nausea, exhaustion, sleeplessness, breathlessness, etc.) until your body adjusts to the elevation. This can take a couple of days or more, depending on the individual. For this reason alone, we have made it mandatory to stay two nights at Mansarovar before moving on to the higher altitudes. Drink plenty of water, be calm, and do not exercise. Do not drink alcohol or smoke prior to or during the tour.
- Currency
- The unit of Chinese currency is the yuan. Money can be exchanged at the Bank of China in Kerung.
- Risks & Liability
- PayMy TravelsHimalayan and its related associates will make every effort to make your journey smooth and pleasant. However, all the tours in Tibet are conducted strictly under the rules and regulations of the Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB). Therefore, PayMy TravelsHimalayan and its counterpart shall not be responsible for any change or alteration in the program due to unavoidable circumstances such as landslides, road blockages, floods, snow, political unrest, cancellation of flights, delayed arrivals, sickness, or accidents. Any extra cost incurred thereby shall be borne by the clients on the spot.
