Travelling to Tibet is quite different from travelling in other parts of the Himalayan region, as it’s necessary to go on a guided
tour. You’ll have a guide and driver, so won’t need to heave your own heavy backpack around to get on and off buses or
into taxis, as you might in Nepal. Therefore, packing for Tibet is a little different. Here are some things you’ll need to pack
for Tibet:
• A small wheeled suitcase (not a backpack)
• Many layers: cotton t-shirt, thin polyester-blend sweater, thicker woolen sweater, down coat, gloves, scarf, hat
• Moisturiser and lip balm
• Sunscreen
• Sunglasses
• Walking shoes and casual shoes
• Warm pyjamas
• Travel pillow for the car
