oxygen in the air. It takes your body a few days to get used to this less
oxygenated environment. During this visit, you will spend the first four nights
in Lhasa, which gives us plenty of time to acclimatize. Therefore, it is a good
idea to exercise or jog regularly, preferably a few weeks before traveling at
high altitudes. We recommend that guests consult their doctor before starting
their trip, especially those who suffer from known heart, lung, or blood
disorders.
Best travel time
Summer (June, July, and August) and
autumn (September, October, and November) and Spring (April and May) are the
best seasons for this trip in Lhasa. We can also enjoy this trip in the winter
months, but it can get colder.

Myanmar is a
lovely country and I encourage everyone to visit it. They have some problems
in some parts of the land but we were safe and enjoyed our trip. Our guide,
Mingma was extremely knowledgeable, and nothing was too much trouble from him.
It is a fantastic trip, and the travel between the places by plane or bus was
punctual, well organized and left us as much time as possible in each location.
Potala and Norbulingka place was one of the highlights, but there are so many places
that are difficult to complete just one visit. The people are beautiful and
super friendly; they could teach us a thing about how they live their lives.
