Secrets of the Plateau | 7 Days and 6 Nights Dream Trip to Tibet

| 7 days and 6 nights dream trip to Tibet. My dears, Tibet is really a beautiful place that you must visit in your lifetime. There are holy snow-capped mountains, blue lakes like gems, solemn temples, and devout faith everywhere. It is really fascinating! Today I will present to you this super detailed Tibet travel guide, please save it quickly 🌟. 📅【Itinerary Revealed】: 7 days and 6 nights to take you around Tibet Day 1: First encounter with Lhasa ✈After arriving in Lhasa, don’t do anything, just rest and adapt to the plateau environment. What about strenuous exercise❌. In the evening, go to Barkhor Street for a stroll, feel the strong Tibetan style, and try authentic Tibetan food. You must try the sweet tea and Tibetan noodles, they are absolutely delicious. Day 2: In-depth tour of Lhasa city 📍Potala Palace: This is a must-visit holy place, book tickets in advance🎫, and hire a tour guide to learn more about the history and culture behind it. It is really amazing. 📍Jokhang Temple: The soul of Tibetan Buddhism. When you are there, the pious pilgrimage atmosphere hits you and your soul is purified. 📍Barkhor Street: Shop around, eat, buy some special souvenirs, don’t forget to bargain, every penny saved is a penny earned😎. Day 3: Lhasa → Yamdrok Lake → Karola Glacier → Shigatse 🌊Yamdrok Lake: Wow😍, one of the three sacred lakes in Tibet, the lake water is incredibly blue, like a dream gem, the photos are simply stunning, any shot is like a blockbuster movie. ❄Karrola Glacier: Get close to the glacier, the shock will hit your soul, but you must wrap yourself up tightly to keep warm and save your life🧣. Day 4: Shigatse → Everest Base Camp 🌌Everest Base Camp: Standing at the foot of the world's top, looking up at night, the sky is full of stars✨, it's so beautiful, you must bring enough thick clothes, otherwise you will freeze to death🐶. Day 5: Everest Base Camp → Tashilhunpo Monastery → Shigatse 🕌Tashilhunpo Monastery: The residence of the Panchen Lama. The temple architecture is magnificent and the details show the Tibetan aesthetics. I was really amazed. Day 6: Shigatse→Namtso→Lhasa 💙Namtso: The largest lake in Tibet appears👏, the lake and the snow-capped mountains complement each other, the beauty is breathtaking, breathtaking, breathtaking! Important things should be said three times. Day 7: Return to Lhasa On the last day, I took the time to buy some local specialties in Lhasa, such as saffron and yak jerky, and brought them back to give to relatives and friends to show off. 🚗【Travel and Transportation Guide】 ✈Airplane: For those who are short on time, it is most convenient to fly directly to Lhasa Gonggar Airport, which is a one-stop destination. 🚞Train: If you are not in a hurry, I strongly recommend the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. The scenery along the way is picturesque🖼, and you can slowly adapt to the plateau environment and enjoy the scenery all the way. 🏨【Accommodation treasure recommendation】 📍Lhasa: Staying near Barkhor Street is definitely the right choice. It is very convenient for shopping and eating. 📍Shigatse: Choose a hotel in the city, which has complete facilities and a comfortable stay. 📍Everest Base Camp: Experience a tent camp. Although the conditions are a bit difficult, the atmosphere is full and it is a unique experience. 🍜【Tibet on the tip of the tongue】 🥘Tibetan hot pot: Yak beef hot pot must have a name, the whole body will be warm after eating it, super delicious. 🥤Sweet tea: It has a sweet taste, similar to the milk tea we usually drink, love it. 🐂Yak jerky: It is suitable as a snack or to take home. The more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes. ⚠️【Important Notes⚠Must Read】 1. Altitude sickness: Take Rhodiola rosea a week in advance, don’t run around when you arrive in Tibet, drink plenty of water, it’s important to save your life. 2. Sun protection and warmth: The ultraviolet rays in Tibet are very strong, so you must bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat 🕶; the temperature difference between morning and night is ridiculously large, so bring thick clothes with you. 3. Environmental protection: Protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility. Don’t litter and protect this pure land of Tibet. 📸【Beautiful photo-taking spots】 1. Potala Palace Square: The reflection photos are absolutely amazing, so beautiful that they are out of the circle. 2. Yamdrok Lake: Wear brightly colored clothes and stand by the lake, and snap, the photo will be ready. 3. Everest Base Camp: Take a photo of your life with Mount Everest as the background. It will surely go viral on your social media. 4. Namtso: Taking photos while riding a horse by the lake will really capture the mood and create a great atmosphere. 💡【Tips】 👉Plan your trip well in advance, especially the Potala Palace tickets. Be quick and you will miss out. 👉The signal in Tibet is a bit capricious. Some places only accept cash. It is better to carry some cash with you as a backup to be prepared. My dears, take this guide and head to Tibet 🚀 to experience a dream journey on the plateau that belongs to you.
