When most people first come to Tibet, you will face mild or heavy altitude sickness.

Generally, people who have altitude sickness have no rules to follow. The best way to avoid or reduce altitude sickness in Tibet is to maintain a good attitude and face it.

The symptoms of the reaction are all caused by psychological effects. For example, people who fear the plateau, lack mental preparation, and determination to overcome the elevation have more opportunities to get high altitude sickness in Tibet.

 

Tips to avoid high altitude sickness in Tibet:

  • Don’t smoke a cigarette.
  • Don’t drink alcohol.
  • Eat more vitamin-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits.
  • Drink plenty of warm water or mineral water.
  • Keep warm and not taking a bath on your first day in Tibet to avoid catching a cold and consuming physical strength.
