C. Prepare oxygen tanks in case of high reaction; prepare enough dry food and drinking water.
D. Go to bed at night and prepare for wind and cold
If you don’t want to live in a tent in the base camp, you can also go to the Yanghu Lake to set up a tent by yourself, but you must make the above preparations. If you are not fit to sleep in a tent overnight, it is recommended to go to the local Tibetan’s home or hotel to stay.
