Thank you to for hosting me on my trip to Tibet!
High Altitude Tibetan Food - Today we drove from Lhasa to Yamdrok Lake, where we had the honor to eat at a local family home. At 4,500 meters in elevation, there’s not a lot of plants that grow, and so our meal consisted of Tibetan barley, yak meat, a few green onions, and a radish soup. It was a hearty and warming meal, full of love, and a pleasure to learn more about Tibetan culture. #Tibet #YamdrokLake #streetfood #villagefood
Yamdrok Lake, Tibet - First we drove to Yamdrok Lake, and Kambala Pass (4,990 m (16,371 ft) for the viewpoint. The view of Yamdrok Lake for the first time was breathtaking. It’s a sacred lake in Tibet, and the colors of the lake look different depending on season, time of day, or even where you see the lake from. The actual bottom of the lake, on the shore is more like 4,500 Meters in Elevation.
High Elevation Tibetan Food - Tsampa (roasted barley) is the staple and main food of the Tibetan diet. It’s nutritious, and grows at a very high elevation. For lunch we had butter tea, barley dumplings with yak meat, radish soup with yak meat, and a type of momo bread which was formed into cone shapes, and fried and steamed in an iron griddle pan. The entire meal was simple, but delicious and very hearty and warming - mainly carbs, and yak. The entire village and setting next to Yamdrok Lake made it even more spectacular.
Karola Glacier View - Finally to end this day in Tibet, we continued to Karola Glacier, passing a section that was almost 5,200 meters in elevation. Highest elevation I’ve been to, and the entire drive was unbelievably beautiful.
An amazing day, great people, delicious food, and heavenly scenery of Yamdrok Lake.
Thank you to Travel China & Tibet ( they sponsored my trip to Tibet, and they did an amazing job to cater to the exact things I wanted to do. Highly recommended when you visit Tibet.

contact us : contact@tibettravel.org
Riding a Tibet train to Lhasa has become a rather good choice of travelling to Tibet with the completion of the world's highest railway, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway which is also the only railway to Lhasa at present. Taking a train to Tibet is even the top choice for many foreign tourists to Tibet for a Tibet train tour is really so impressive both because of the breathtaking scenery along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the railway itself, the blue sky and white clouds, the grasslands with flocks and herds, snow-covered mountains, source of Yangtze River, Hohxil Natural Reserve, etc. Of course, enjoying the high-quality services on the best train in China is also a wonderful experience of travelling to Tibet by train.

Street Food in Tibet - ULTIMATE TIBETAN FOOD TOUR + Amazing Potala Palace in Lhasa!
Thank you to for hosting me on my trip to Tibet!
????Thai Food - 1.5 Years Waiting List:
????T-shirts and caps:
Lhasa, Tibet - Lhasa is one of the most important cities in Tibet, and a home of Tibetan food and culture. In this video we’re going on an ultimate Tibetan street food tour of Lhasa, and additionally we’ll visit the Potala Palace and some of the most significant cultural sights in the city. Let’s start eating Tibetan food! #Lhasa #Tibet #TibetanFood #streetfood
Potala Palace - To begin the morning we started off visiting the Potala Palace, a fortress dzong, with tombs, chapels, and assembly halls, and once the seat of the Dalai Lama. Today it’s still used as a monastery, and a school for Tibetan Buddhist monks. The magnitude will blow you away.
Tibetan Tea House - One of the best parts of culture in Lhasa is the tea house culture. There are big teahouses all over the city, and local Tibetans congregate to drink tea, eat Tibetan food and socialize. I tried some yak noodles, both yak and vegetarian momos, and both sweet and salted tea. Tibetan yak noodles - 6 RMB ($0.84) per bowl
Tibetan Teahouse #2 - Located just off Barkhor Street, on this Tibetan street food tour, we then went to another teahouse, this one probably the largest and most well known local spots in Lhasa. The ambiance was incredible, so vibrant and so energetic. Since I had just had yak noodles, we chose to try some friend noodles and tea, and soak in the Tibetan culture.
Dzomo Cheese - Hybrid between yak and cow - Next we tried some dzomo cheese on the streets of Lhasa, very good and slightly animaly.
Laping noodles - Price - 5 RMB ($0.70) per bowl - One of my favorite of all Tibetan street foods is laping, a type of noodle, sliced off, then mixed with chili oil and spices. It’s the perfect light and flavorful street food snack.
Legendary Yak Momos - Price - 1 RMB ($0.14) per piece - On the corner, just outside the Barkhor Street circle, is a famous yak momos hole in the wall restaurant. The momos were hot and fresh, made right before you order them, and they were some of the best yak momos I’ve ever had.
Cheese Fungus Soup - 6 RMB ($0.84) per bowl - Dolma mentioned that this Tibetan cheese fungus soup is rare to find nowadays and during this season, so we were lucky to find it. It ate like a porridge and was hearty and filling.
Jokhang Temple - Barkhor Street - One of the most important places in Tibetan Buddhism and in Lhasa is Jokhang Temple, and people often walk 3 circles around the temple each morning and evening.
Tibetan Food Dinner - Finally for dinner, it wasn’t really street food, but it was a local Tibetan style dinner where we tried a number of Tibetan dishes. My favorite was the pickled preserved radish stir fried with yak meat.
It was an amazing day in Lhasa, Tibet, lots of delicious Tibetan food, and a chance to learn a lot about Tibetan culture.
Thank you to Travel China & Tibet ( they sponsored my trip to Tibet, and they did an amazing job to cater to the exact things I wanted to do. Highly recommended when you visit Tibet.

Tibet Travel: Is it safe to travel Tibet?
Withincredible plateau view and harsh natural environment closely intertwined, travelling to Tibet is truly like no other! So, is it safe to visit Tibet? Well, the answer is definitely “Yes”! Let’s take a quick look.
High Altitude (AMS)
Averaging an elevation of above 4000m, Tibet is arguably the highest place for travel on our planet. For that, some are pretty concerned about the issue of altitude sickness.
Actually, so long as you are physically fit and have no heart problem, it’s quite safe to visit Tibet. Though for the newcomers to Tibet, you may experience headache, dizziness, or shortness of breath, etc., there is no need to panic. Have a good rest; as your body gradually gets acclimated to Tibetan plateau, all the initial discomfort will disappear soon.
Climate
Next comes to weather and climate in Tibet. Due to the high altitude, the air in Tibet is crisp, arid and thin. Eye-blinding sunshine and dramatic temperature change are pretty common. Do dress properly and keep yourself warm; it’s better to wear multiple layers. On top of that, sunscreen, sun glasses, lip balm, are also quite necessary.
Road Condition, easy transport( reliable, efficient)
The transport to Tibet is also quite safe. You may choose to fly to Lhasa or take the scenic Tibet train, or even travel overland from either Chengdu or Kathmandu to Lhasa. Of these three, Tibet train is the most cost-efficient and punctual choice.
Surprisingly, the road condition in major 7 prefectures across Tibet is exceptionally good. The well-built asphalt road leads to all the landmark attractions, including EBC.
Local Tibetan
Unlike the preconception that Tibetans are barbarian and rude, you will find the smiles of local Tibetans infectious and genuine; their devotion for Buddhism and pure innocenceworth your respect; since all the Tibetans are Buddhists, the crime and theft in Tibet is hardly heard. It’s a perfect place for female, solo travelers or family tour.
Other Dos and Don’ts (religious taboos)
One thing to remind you. As you visit Tibet, try not to violate Buddhist taboos. Skimpy clothes are not allowed for visiting Buddhist monasteries; do not swim in the holy lakes in Tibet; don’t take photos inside the Tibetan monasteries, etc. When you are not sure of a local Tibetan custom, asking your guide’s permission first is always a wise choice.
Besides, you don’t need a particular vaccination for Tibet visit. The plague can’t survive at such high altitude and all the day-to-day visit is well-designed for best tour experience and travel safety.

Yak Heads and The Cure for Cancer in Kangding: Tibet in China 1
The Tibetan culture is unique and should not be missed, however in order to visit Tibet now you need a special permit and you have to take a tour. We decided to head to western Sichuan, where the beautiful landscape is scattered with authentic Tibetan villages. The area is known as the Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, and it's towns are actually more Tibetan than the capital of Tibet, Lhasa.
Our first stop was Kangding, the 'gateway to Tibet', and a really cool town to hangout in. We take a short hike up Paoma mountain, which offers some memorable views. We also check out Kangding market, including Yak bridge where butchered yaks are aplenty. Finally, we find the parasitic fungus that's said to be able to cure cancer.
