Arrival in Lhasa, Pickup at Hada Station, and Hotel Check-in

Lhasa - Travelers will independently purchase their designated flight tickets and check in at Chengdu Airport after meeting with fellow travelers. Upon arrival at Lhasa Gongga Airport, a driver-guide will greet them and transport them by bus along the scenic Lhasa River Belt to the city, allowing them to enjoy the fresh plateau air. Accommodations will be arranged by the travel agency. Upon arrival, it is advisable to rest and avoid going out to acclimate to the altitude.

Tips: Lhasa is situated at an altitude of 3,650 meters, with oxygen levels at 70% compared to the mainland. Most visitors experience some degree of altitude sickness during the first two days. Maintaining a calm mindset, staying hydrated, consuming fruits, and getting plenty of rest are effective ways to prevent altitude sickness.
