1) Clothing: Due to significant temperature fluctuations in Tibet between morning and evening, it's advisable to wear warm, windproof outerwear. Layering clothing is recommended to adjust to temperature changes. In summer, light clothing is suitable, while during spring and autumn, at least three layers (undershirt, sweater, outerwear) are advisable. In winter, prioritize warmer clothing and wind protection. Additionally, due to strong ultraviolet rays, sunglasses and a hat are essential.
2) Personal items: Skincare products such as face wash, moisturizer, facial cream, hydrating masks, body lotion, lip balm, and sunscreen are necessary. For the car travel from Lhasa to Drak Yerpa, a U-shaped neck pillow is also suggested to make the journey more comfortable. Also, carry a thermal to ensure access to hot water at any time.
3) Common medications: Carry essentials like adhesive bandages, motion sickness pills, cold medicine, gastrointestinal medication, anti-inflammatory drugs, eye drops, altitude sickness medication, and other commonly used medicines for unexpected needs. (Please follow medical advice and avoid unnecessary medication.)
4) Electronic devices: Bring personal electronic devices like smartphones, cameras, headphones, along with their chargers, power banks, and charging cables, as needed.
5) Cash and cards: Though mobile payment methods are becoming common in Tibet, some places may still require cash. Carry a small amount of cash and at least one bank card for emergencies, even though mobile payment is prevalent.
