Tips: for first two days in Lhasa
1.You may feel a little bit tired and uncomfortable when you arrive in Lhasa, If you lack of oxygen, you can take the oxygen in the hotel,clinic or hospital.but please try to avoid take any oxygen and adapt to high altitude by yourself if you do not feel too bad,becuase there is still a long way to go, if you quite depend on oxygen, you would be hard to adapt to higher altitude at Shigatse,Rongpu Monastery and Everest,which are above 3400m.
2.Please don't take shower at the first two days when you are in Lhasa, it is easy to catch cold and make you feel exhausted.

Tips: Best picture viewing of Everest at Rongpu
Generally speaking, although the altitude of Rongpu Monastery is 5200m, most healthy travelers are able to live in Rongpu without feeling uncomfortable. We strongly advice you to live at Rongpu Monastery for 1 night. As of our experience in mountain area, Everest can be seen much clearer in the morning than at noon. If you live in Rongpu Monastery, it takes 10 minutes walking to the viewing platform to see the clear Mt.Everest in the morning, on the contrary, living in Tingri might lead you to a bad result that you can not see the clear face of Mt.Everest at noon.
