Vaccination requirements change
frequently, so we suggest you consult your doctor
at least 2 months prior to your trip. We also
recommend that each person carries a basic first
aid kit. The main health consideration in Tibet
is altitude related illness or Acute Mountain
Sickness (AMS). You may experience some mild
symptoms initially, such as headache, lethargy,
nausea and difficulty sleeping, but these should
lessen within a few days. A supply of bottled
oxygen is carried in the vehicle at all times
should it be required. We also carry a Portable
Altitude Chamber (PAC) on all our Tibet treks
and mt. kailash tours in case of altitude sickness.
Hotels in Lhasa are equipped with
oxygen. Doctors will also be available on call.
A supply of bottled oxygen is carried in the
vehicle at all times. If you have ever suffered
from altitude sickness, or have a heart or breathing
complaint, we highly recommend you consult your
doctor about your suitability for traveling
to Tibet before booking. When flying to Lhasa
we recommend you rest for the afternoon to help
acclimatization. Age is no barrier to enjoy
an unforgettable trip to Tibet.
If you have any pre-existing medical
condition, please consult your doctor before
booking and bring adequate medication for any
such condition.
In the case of a serious
sickness or a casualty, which we believe will
not happen; you shall be driven by a land cruiser
to nearest Nepal – Tibet border as helicopter
is not allowed to fly in Tibet. Since you are
entirely liable for all the expenses incurred
in evacuation please make sure that it is covered
by your insurance before assigning for
