Many travelers have some almost superstitious fears about Tibet, and always want to bring more equipment to make themselves safer, which is actually unnecessary.
The less luggage you carry on a trip to Tibet, the better, but it must be enough. Carrying a heavy backpack on the plateau is a great burden. The principle of carrying items is light and practical. If possible, don't carry things you can't use on your back on the plateau, and make full use of the facilities and services provided locally. Also, don't carry more than two pieces of luggage, taking into account frequent movement.
Backpack
The difficulty of the place you intend to visit determines the size of the backpack. If you are going to a remote place, or involved in some wilderness activities, such as turning sacred mountains, hiking and camping next to a sacred lake, then a large and a small backpack should be a more reasonable choice. If you're not traveling long distances, you don't need a backpack larger than 45 liters.
Some travelers are accustomed to carrying fanny packs, so be careful in towns and cities not to put them behind your body.
Clothing
The temperature in Tibet is much lower overall than in the same latitude on the mainland, especially in the mountain passes and at high altitudes, and the winds are strong, with rain and snow coming suddenly, making dressing for travel quite a bit of a hassle.
So a down jacket is a must, unless you're only planning a group trip to Lhasa and Shigatse in July or August. Even in the hottest summer months, in places like the Himalayas and in Ali, it's usually around 0°C at night, and even colder in the mountain passes. At the same time, there is a big temperature difference between day and night in the plateau region, and even in the warmest season of the year, the weather is still colder in the morning and evening. If you are mainly active in the Yalong Valley area, you can deal with it by wearing a down undershirt or sweater, and a waterproof and windproof jacket when it gets colder.
If you go trekking or mountaineering in Tibet, you should also prepare a set of sweat-proof underwear. In the wilderness, it is very troublesome to have sweat sticking to your body, and it can quickly take away the heat from your body, which is very dangerous.
Also, a warm fleece jacket is indispensable.
The whole body's equipment, including tops, pants and shoes should be waterproof. In July and August in Tibet, it rains almost every day, and it is inconceivable that the clothing is not waterproof. During the rainy season, the Lhasa area has many sharp rains at night, while areas such as Linzhi have much more frequent rainfall.
Sleeping bag
Bring a 1kg duck down sleeping bag in July or August to keep you warm enough. Buy one with more than 80% down, compressed volume is not much bigger than a large bottle of Coke, very convenient to carry. If it's still too big, you can use a set of compression straps to compress it and reduce the volume by another 1/3.
Moisture-proof pads are also a good idea. In some places, when you need to stay in the people's homes or highway road class, all that can be offered to you is an empty stone house, even if you have a sleeping bag, you can't sleep directly on the ground.
Shoes
You need a good pair of shoes to travel, especially in Tibet. During the rainy season in Tibet, waterproofness becomes especially important.
The best choice is hard-soled, high-top hiking shoes. Especially when hiking, the road surface is often not very good, high-top hard-soled shoes are not easy to get into the sand and gravel, which avoids pinching or knocking on the foot, and it is not easy to come off when crossing the muddy ground. And hiking shoes are also better at insulating water and keeping warm. If you really require higher waterproof, you can cooperate with having waterproof foot cover, which can protect your pants legs from being wet by rain.
Cotton socks are good with hiking shoes to keep your feet close to the shoes. Wear an extra pair of socks if you're walking long distances. If the shoes are new, it's best to wear them some days in advance to break them in. It is also recommended that you bring a pair of slippers as well so that you don't shower barefoot in the bathroom.
Self-driving equipment
Self-driving travel must bring the necessary outdoor supplies, tent sleeping bag is best to take into account, in addition to a tank of gas (or oil stove), a simplest and most reliable stove, a pressure cooker may also help you. The gas canister must be secured during transportation. Also remember not to overload your luggage. The average Cherokee should not have more than four passengers, and the Toyota Land Cruiser should not have more than five.
Bicycle equipment
There should be enough sustenance and equipment, such as tents, sleeping bags, 2 to 3 days of drinking water and food, a variety of medicines and so on. Clothing requirements are first of all breathable and wear-resistant, if there is a cycling suit is better, high breathable sweat underwear and windproof and rainproof jacket is also very important.
No matter how sturdy or expensive your bike is, you must learn to fix it yourself. The brakes and tires wear out very quickly, and the bumps in the road can damage the axle balls quite badly. So it is necessary to prepare a complete and compact set of repair tools, the main should include: a movable wrench; screwdriver size of each one; fixed wrench one or two, to the specific situation of the car screws, mainly on the brake screws; sheet wrench, used to adjust the wheel tension; adjust the spokes tightening of the steel ring a; patch the tire with the glue, patches, file skin; pliers; pump is obviously also a must! The pump is obviously a must. Others, a screw socket wrench for tightening the pedal axle may also be needed; whether a hexagonal internal wrench is needed depends on the type of tap screws; in addition, there should be at least two spare inner tubes, a chain, a number of gate skins, screws and nuts, a long and a short brake cable each; a gearshift cable, a number of oil; a number of wires; two to three rubber ties for tying up the luggage (the luggage will surely come loose if tied with a rope); And so on.
Professional long-distance bikes are those that have racks front and rear, and luggage is packaged in panniers to lower the center of gravity and improve the stability of the bike. You can follow suit and weld a sturdy front frame or front rack to your bike that will keep some of the weight, such as food and water or things you have to pick up often, in the front and reduce the load on the rear tire.
Whether you're riding bumpy dirt roads or flat highways remember to overhaul your car once a day, mainly to check for loose screws everywhere.

This guide needs the help of friends who have been to Tibet to point out, modify, thank you

Beijing
Chinese citizens do not need a border permit to go to Tibet
Anyone who goes to Everest, Ali, Pran (China-Nepal border) or Zhangmu (China-Nepal border) needs a border permit, and to go to Zada (Tulin), you also need to apply for a cultural expedition permit in advance
It is best if the above documents can be done in Beijing, and they have to be applied for about two weeks in advance
The above documents are not required.
If you wait until Lhasa, you can only choose to spend a lot of money or go with a group to the above areas
If you have a foreigner going to Tibet with you, you must apply for a border permit; if you want to go to the above border areas, you must contact the travel agency and organize a group to go there.
You can go to Lhasa to organize a group temporarily, and if there are foreigners in the group, you must have a tour guide, and the tour guide can be replaced by the members of the group through discussion with the travel agency.

Don't go into any temple and speak words that are disrespectful to the gods and people's beliefs, a matter of courtesy! I have seen some travelers whose character is so low that they don't even know the minimum manners. If you can't ensure these then don't go to Tibet to disgrace the Han people!!!!
It's fun to find a Bar at night and have a drink of Beer or barley wine and chat with foreigners, whether it's speaking English with the French or German with the Americans,
Former Tibet - the birthplace of the whole of Tibet, affluent, lower altitude
