Hello,
Thank you for your post.
On the day of arrival into Tibet, our guests are checked into the hotel in Lhasa with time to relax before dinner and there are no excursions planned for that day or evening. In each hotel room, oxygen is provided. Additionally, in Tibet there are oxygen bars and oxygen forpurchase.
Please note that our tour guides do not carry oxygen with them, if guests are concerned about their physical response to the altitude, it is suggested they purchase oxygen to bring along with them on our excursions. The only strenuous tour involves a visit to the Potala Palace; otherwise, the other excursions have easy walking tours.
If an individual is not in good health, it is very important they consult their physician before traveling to a place with such high altitudes.
To date, we have not heard of any altitude issues or sicknesses from guests who traveled to Tibet with us.
I hope this helps. Should you have any additional questions or would like more information, please feel free to email
