Drinking water is not safe in Tibet

The drinking water is not safe in Tibet. For a long time, the safety of drinking water in Tibet has been bothering rural Tibetans in Tibet's remote farming and pastoral areas. At present, if you are planning some Tibet tours, here are some tibet travel advice on drinking water in Tibet: 1. use iodine or other purification tablets to purify the drinking water; 2. use bottled water from larger stores and you’d better brush your teeth with bottled water too. You can also boil tap water before drinking it, but boil it for 10 - 20 minutes in order to kill all pathogens (the lower air pressure makes for lower boiling points).
