| IMPORTANT
PRE-DEPARTURE INFORMATION |
The
Road to Lhasa / Kailash Tour
Travelling
overland between Kathmandu and
Lhasa or Kailash is an incredible
journey in which you can see the
world’s hightes mountains,
travel on the world’s highest
plain, meet nomadic Tibetian pilgrims
and walk amidst the burning butter
lamps and chanting monks of Tibet’s
ancient and legendary Buddhist
Monasteries. This is a wonderful
and amazing trip. However if you
not up for a bit of adventure,
or for accommodations and amenities
that may be far from perfect,
perhaps this trip is not for you
as the trip to Tibet is not easy
and is well worth the effort.Tibet
was opened to tourism in 1985,
before this it avoided influence
from the western world and developed
its unique culture and religion
independently. The infrastructure
of the tourist industry is still
very basic in this remote country.
Please do not expect the standard
you are accustomed to in the West.
However, every effort will be
made under the circumstance to
ensure a smooth & pleasant
trip.
|
CLOTHING:
Casual
wear and comfortable walking shoes
are the rule for Tibet. Be sure
to bring warm clothing as nights
and early mornings can be quite
chilly to down right cold in winter.
Bring all the film, medicine,
cosmetics, persona toilet items,
etc. that you will need from home
as these are difficult if not
impossible to obtain in Tibet.
A small first aid kit is also
a good idea. Also quite useful
is a Kathmandu – Lhasa route
map, to know where you are going
and have been each day.

ALTITUDE
SICKNESS:
As
you are traveling over high terrain,
you are likely to experience some
of the minor symptoms and discomfort
of altitude sickness (headache,
loss of appetite) until your body
adjusts to the elevation. This
can take from a few hours to a
couple of days, depending on an
individual. Take it lightly, but
drink plenty of non-alcoholic
liquids. Proper hydration is necessary
to acclimatize. We also recommend
you to carry strip of diamox tablets.
|
CURRENCY:
The
unit of currency is Yuan. US$
1 = 8Yuan. Money can be exchanged
at the bank of China in Zhangmu,
Xigatse and Lhasa. The hotels
also change money for you.
All credit cards are accepted
at Xigatse & Lhasa.
|
AIRPORT TAX:
The
airport departure tax on Lhasa –
Kathmandu flight is included in
