2. Having some Tibetan Buttered Tea, dairy products and red meat can also help you to overcome altitude sickness.
3. Respect the customs of the Tibetans.
4. Areas of high altitude locality have strong UV radiation and temperature difference. Always bring a bottle of sunscreen with you, and be sure to bring weather-appropriate clothing.
