Lhasa 4WD from Chengdu to Lhasa
Posted: Wed February 11, 2009 07:09 AM UTC
Hi all,

I'm intending to do a 4-wheel-drive trip starting from Chengdu into Lhasa. Would anyone know how long this would take, and can recommend any local tour agents or guides who would be able to do this kind of trip? Language is not a problem, as I understand Mandarin. Thanks!

Not sure are you a Westerner or an Asian...coz you'll need to make sure you have proper papers to get into Lhasa on road via KangDing.
We usu do it through local pals who own a 4WD... I know of someone who hope on a delivery truck to 'sneak' into Lhasa on the road.
You can also consider taking the bus to KangDing and then travel further to
DaoCheng and negoitate a transport from KangDing or DaoCheng. May be cheaper.

Here is a video of some westerns taking a local bus to Tibet. This was about 2 years ago and things may be different now.

Hi

The most scenic route is the southern route to Lhasa from Chengdu to Dhartsedo (Kanding) to Lithang to Bathang to Markham to Pomda to Pomi and onto Lhasa. Check our this website which may give you an idea: www.wildnomads.com
