The air also felt much cleaner here, as it's outside of the city.
Did you know that Tibet is known as being the place that is closest to the sky? It's because of the high altitude. During my research, I uncovered that most people that visit actually get altitude sickness. Since it is so high above sea level, the oxygen level is significantly lower, and this causes all sorts of things to happen with your body, including severe headaches and loss of appetite!
