It would help if you had a Valid passport (valid for six months from your tour date). You can also bring another picture ID, such as a driver’s license (in case of emergency and for use as a substitute for a passport or in case of losing your passport).

It would help to have a photocopy of your passport page in a wallet. Also, bring a photocopy of your air ticket, which is helpful in case of loss. You can also make a copy of the Visa clearance letter and Tibet travel permit letter. Bhutan accepts major credit cards, MasterCard, Visa, and Debit Cards.

However, we recommend carrying some cash. The flight to Lhasa and Bhutan gives you a 20 kg luggage allowance, so bringing a small, handy, but safe backpack is better. In the bag, you can store your camera, wallet, passport, flight tickets, small care pack, etc.

It should also slot into one wind sheeter or similar garment. Remember, the temperature may vary as we fly or drive to Tibet. The difference in height between Kathmandu and Lhasa is more than 2200m. Kathmandu is 1,320 m, Lhasa is 3,650 m, and Paro is 2,250m.

There is no problem with altitude sickness for your Nepal Tibet Bhutan tour, and Bhutan is also okay. But, while touring in Tibet, you will reach a height of 4,000 m, so there is a chance of altitude sickness. You can prepare the trips before arrival. Do some little workouts, such as jogging, yoga, or another light workout. Doing them for a minimum of a month before the trip will be helpful.

• Avoid catching a chilly or respiratory problem before entering Tibet.
• Avoid brisk walking or running immediately after you arrive.
• Drink more water. We suggest drinking 4 liters of water each day.
• Iron and vitamin C consumption helps to extend Hemoglobin to soak up more oxygen.

Only pack your baggage with a few clothes. The baggage allowance has restrictions on the flights to Bhutan and Tibet. You’ll store your extra clothes in Kathmandu. You would like a bag, warm jacket, thermal underwear, cap, and gloves for Tibet and Bhutan.

We encourage both men and ladies to pack clothes that cover their legs and shoulders. Respecting the local customs, please wear decent clothes while visiting monasteries and temples. People are very hospitable, though. The ‘layering’ system is superb for travel.

The temperature and weather can change quickly and sometimes. It’s better to have several smaller layers. You can add and remove these layers to make one enormous heavy jacket when necessary.

Shoes

It is vital to possess a robust, comfortable pair of trainers. Although there’s no trekking, we must also steer around sightseeing places with steps and rough ground. Lightweight boots are fine. Carry sneakers or sleepers for lodges for the Nepal Tibet Bhutan tour.

Medical supplies

Take an adequate supply of any prescription medication you employ daily. It may include inhalers for asthma. Carry your medical kits with travel medicine.
