Question

How physically rigorous is the trip to Tibet?

Ms.Ellie · Answer

An altitude over 3,000 meters (9,843 feet) is usually defined as high altitude. Since most places in Tibet are higher than this level, Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), also called Altitude Sickness is the biggest health risk to tourists in Tibet. It's necessary to consult your doctor before you go.
