A 19-day, 18-night trip to Tibet for one person

Total cost for 19 days: 2,817 + 1,664 (round-trip travel expenses) = 4,481 yuan ㅤ Train to Tibet 🚞 787 yuan (hard sleeper, lower berth) Flight from Tibet ✈️ 877 yuan Transportation in Lhasa 🚦 142 yuan Accommodation 🏨 717 yuan Food 🍽 600 yuan ㅤ Five-day, four-night tour of Mount Everest 1,200+ yuan (100 yuan for single room supplement) ㅤ Tickets for Zaki Temple, Drepung Monastery, and Sera Monastery total 130 yuan ㅤ Hat 28 yuan (Brothers Department Store is very affordable, and a windbreaker is just over 100 yuan) ㅤ Some of the above items are slightly overestimated, but the difference is not significant. For reference only. ㅤ I didn't experience altitude sickness, so I didn't buy oxygen and only used a small bottle of oxygen provided by the tour group. Here's why I didn't experience altitude sickness: I'm not tall, not fat, and not active. When you first arrive, don't get too excited, talk less, and don't wash your hair. ㅤ Some details ㅤ Transportation 🚦 Taxi from Lhasa Railway Station to Barkhor Street is about 30 yuan Gonggar Airport to Barkhor Street is 30 yuan per person Bus is 1 yuan per person ㅤ Accommodation 🏨 Staying in a youth hostel costs about 40 to 50 yuan per day on average. I recommend staying near Barkhor Street, so you can walk to Barkhor Street. ㅤ Food 🍚 1. Tibetan noodles are 6 to 7 yuan per bowl 2. Sweet tea is about 5 to 6 yuan per small pot, and butter tea is a bit of an acquired taste (I heard that butter tea can relieve altitude sickness) 3. You can try Nepalese food, but some dishes are a bit strange, such as mung bean soup with cumin flavor. The average cost is 50 to 60 yuan per person 4. Yak yogurt is too sour. I recommend ordering a ginseng fruit yak yogurt on Meituan. The ginseng fruit is delicious! 5. Sweet tea at Old Guangming Teahouse is 1 yuan per cup. The atmosphere is great. ㅤ In Lhasa, I visited the following attractions: Potala Palace, Barkhor Street, Nanshan Park, Sera Monastery, Zaki Temple, Drepung Monastery, Tibet Museum, Tibet Museum of Natural Science and Technology, Norbulingka, and Tibet Art Museum (except for the temples, all of these attractions were free because I visited during the Tibet Winter Tour) ㅤ Reflections on my trip to Tibet: You pay for your own knowledge throughout your life. The brave enjoy the world first. This is my one and only life.
