The following is a list of items you should know

before you decided to join our tours

 

Bring a pair of hiking sandals to cross the streams

 

What clothing should I bring?

 

In the Tibetan Cultural Area it is usually cool in the mornings and evenings. During the day while walking it can get quite hot. It is necessary to add or take off clothes to avoid becoming ill. The personal items listed below are recommended to keep with you:

 

• 'Layered' clothing for flexibility
• A combination of loose fitting pants (or skirts for women). Quick wash and dry clothes are the best.
• T-shirts
• Long and short sleeved shirts. Quick wash and dry clothes are best.
• Polypropylene long underwear (which can be worn with shorts).
• A "fleece" jacket and a good waterproof windbreaker, preferably made with "breathable" Gore-Tex fabric.
• For footwear we recommend a medium to lightweight hiking boot which has a good tread and provides some support around your ankles
• Utility knife; full, wide brim sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen lotion, scarf, chopsticks, refillable water bottle, day pack and small medical kit...etc.

    

  Women Hikers take note:

  Tibet is one of the most secure places for women to trek in. Tibetans care about what women wear very much. Do not ware short.
