Oxygen Supply

The oxygen supply system can effectively reduce the altitude sickness symptom for mass passengers on Tibet train. It can increase the oxygen content of the train’s air to about 23% when traveling in high altitude area. What’s more, it allows passengers to inhale oxygen by connecting the plastic pipe to the oxygen outlet.

Medical Care Personnel

If you still feel uncomfortable after using oxygen supply, do not hesitate to ask the train attendant for medical service. Professional doctors and trained nurses are available on the Tibet trains. Passengers can get timely but limited first aid on Tibet train.
