• Not Recommended for Participation： Pregnant women, insulin-dependent diabetes patients, those with a history of brain or eye surgery, lung disease, or major surgeries are advised not to join high-altitude trips.

• During the first two days after arriving at high altitudes, please slow down, avoid strenuous activity, and refrain from showering or washing your hair to prevent catching a chill, which could hinder your acclimatization.
• Headaches, shortness of breath, and trouble sleeping are all common symptoms of altitude sickness. Most people will gradually adjust within 1–3 days; if you feel unwell, please let your guide know immediately.
• If you feel unwell during the trip, you can slow down your breathing and use a portable oxygen tank or the oxygen cylinder in the vehicle; when you return to the hotel in the evening, you can also turn on the oxygen supply equipment in your room.
• Try to avoid high-intensity exercise or weight training for one week before departure to keep your body in a relatively relaxed state.
• You may bring your own Rhodiola and glucose powder; Danmus is a prescription medication that requires a doctor’s evaluation and prescription. Guests with chronic conditions or who are currently taking medication should consult their doctor before departure.
• There are significant temperature differences between day and night at high altitudes, so it’s recommended to dress in layers and adjust your clothing as needed to avoid catching a cold, as a cold can make altitude sickness more severe.
• The UV rays are very strong, so be sure to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and lip balm with you.
• Focus on a light diet, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, avoid overeating and drinking alcohol, and reduce the strain on your digestive system, heart, and lungs.
• Since it's a long drive, you might want to bring some snacks and dry food to keep your energy up.
• Maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late, and try to stay relaxed—excessive stress will only make you feel worse.
• If you have the chance, be sure to try the local butter tea—it’s high in calories, warms you up, and restores your energy. It’s a staple beverage for Tibetans living on the plateau.

The meeting point for this tour is at[Lhasa]...Whether you're traveling from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, or Singapore, you can choose to travel by plane or train.

How do I get to Lhasa?
Currently, there are no direct flights from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, or Southeast Asia to Lhasa. Most guests first fly to cities such as Chengdu or Chongqing, then take a domestic flight to Lhasa. Guests who wish to experience the “Heavenly Road” can also travel to Tibet via the Qinghai-Tibet Railway from Xining; we can assist with booking train tickets.

Please check with a representative before purchasing tickets.
The entry permit for Tibet must be applied for based on your flight or train information. Please provide the agent with your flight or train number and departure time before purchasing your ticket. Wait until the agent confirms that the permit can be processed before purchasing the ticket to avoid the loss of money if you are unable to enter Tibet after purchasing the ticket.

Should you buy it yourself or have us order it for you?
Either option works. If you book your own tickets, you can earn credit card miles or airline points, and it’s easier to arrange your itinerary; if you’d rather not compare prices and arrange connecting flights yourself, you can have CITS Global Travel—China2Go—assist you with the booking.

Arrival and Departure
Whether you arrive early in the morning or late at night, Lhasa Airport and the train station both offer 24-hour dedicated pick-up services with staff holding signs; these are private, dedicated vehicles—no shared rides. On the last day of your trip, we will also arrange transportation to the airport or train station based on your departure schedule.

CITS國旅環球-China2Go wants to give every traveler maximum flexibility and freedom of choice throughout the journey!

Breakfast is arranged daily, while time for other main meals is left to our guests’ own discretion, allowing greater freedom and flexibility in dining choices：
In Lhasa, Shigatse, and along the route to Mount Everest, guests are free to explore a wide variety of local dining options—from Tibetan and Chinese cuisine to street food and hot pot—all chosen according to personal preference, with no restrictions.

Keeping meals unscheduled makes the itinerary more flexible, caters to individual tastes, and eliminates the waste and constraints of fixed group dining.

In special situations or time constraints, the guide may assist in arranging or reserving meals in advance. Participation is optional and entirely up to the guest.

Free dining allows you to truly experience the unique flavors of Tibet.
