Tibet | Embraced by the blue planet

A winter trip to Tibet not only offers free admission to most attractions, but also avoids the crowds. Moreover, the weather is clear☀️ every day, presenting different shades of blue before your eyes: the blue of the sky, rivers, lakes, glaciers, and so on. Waking up every day is a process of healing oneself. I set off from Guangzhou, not taking the leisurely train into Tibet, but flying directly to Lhasa. As a working person with limited holiday time, I started taking Rhodiola about ten days in advance. Still, I suffered from splitting headaches on the first and second nights, barely sleeping. 🧳Preparations before departure Clothing: hats, scarves, gloves, warm clothes, down jackets, sweaters, fleece-lined pants, snow boots, fleece insoles, thick socks, thick masks, sunglasses Medicines: glucose, Rhodiola, cold medicine, Huoxiang Zhengqi pills, vitamin C effervescent tablets, ibuprofen Warmth: hand warmers, thermos Skincare: face masks, sunscreen, essence, lotion, cream, body lotion, facial cleanser, eye cream, lip balm, hand cream (bring as much moisturizing as possible, it's extremely dry, wet the hotel towels and place them in different parts of the room before sleeping, otherwise your throat will really dry out) Makeup can be brought along if needed 💰Cost details Flight ticket: 2902 yuan Tour fee for six days and five nights: 5980 + 800 for single room supplement = 6780 yuan (photo tour, at least six retouched photos per day, and several video clips of essential attractions, very satisfied with the accommodation, mostly with mountain view rooms) Tickets (including Potala Palace guide fee + sand dunes + Laigu Glacier + horse riding at Ritu Monastery + photo with Tibetan Mastiff and lamb + Yamdrok Lake sanitation fee): 434 yuan Food: 848 yuan Three nights in a Lhasa hotel: 461 yuan Portrait photos two sets: 1858 yuan (Lhasa portrait notes can be seen on the homepage👀) Total: 13283 yuan 🚗Itinerary Day 01: Guangzhou-Lhasa-Barkhor Street (portrait photography) - Stay in Lhasa Day 02: Lhasa-Heavenly Prairie (portrait photography) - Potala Palace - Stay in Lhasa Day 03: Lhasa-Linzhi-Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon (sand dunes) - Sosong Village to watch the sunrise on Namcha Barwa - Stay in Sosong Village Day 04: Sosong Village-Sejila Mountain-Lulang Alpine Pasture - Stay in Bomi Day 05: Bomi-Palong Tsangpo-Ranwu Lake - Stay in Ranwu Day 06: Ranwu-Laigu Glacier - Stay in Bomi Day 07: Bomi-Linzhi - Stay in Lhasa Day 08: Lhasa-Yarlung River Valley-Yamdrok Lake-Ritu Monastery - Stay in Lhasa Day 09: Lhasa-Guangzhou
