Where to stay from Golmud to Tanggula Pass?

You can stay in Tuotuo River, which is the first town at the source of the Yangtze River. There are several hotels that can provide accommodation and oxygen. There are also restaurants and gas stations for convenient supplies. You can also take pictures of the scenery of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Accommodation at a higher altitude here may cause headaches, so prepare oxygen to reduce symptoms of hypersensitivity. Oxygen is sold in hotels or small shops and restaurants nearby.

Based on personal experience, it is not recommended to stay in the hotel during the trip. It is best to leave Golmud early and try to get to Nagqu for the night. It is more than 800 kilometers from Golmud to Nagqu. The time plan is good. We set off at 5 or 6 in the morning and can reach Nagqu around 10 pm. It is just a bit more tiring, but it is safer than staying in Tuotuo River on the way. Although the altitude of Nagqu is also more than 4,000 , but after all, Nagqu is the seat of the city government, and the conditions in all aspects are much better than those in Tuotuohe. Even if you have any physical condition, you can seek medical treatment in time. If you live in Tuotuohe, you may not have this condition. Of course, if you must rest for one night during the trip, then stay in Tuotuohe, but you must ensure that there are no major health problems.

Tuotuohe Jiangyuan Hotel, you can fill oxygen bags at the front desk for 10 yuan. The rooms are heated. I have stayed there twice. There is a huge yard for parking. The altitude of Tuotuo River is not too high, a little more than 4,000.

We live in Wudaoliang

If you go to Qinghai-Tibet for the first time, the road in the shell crater is very difficult to walk, and there are too many big cars on the road, it is almost impossible to run, and it is dark. It's even harder to leave. Only the Tuotuo River can be stayed along the way. The other places are like big car shops, so be prepared. It takes 12 or 3 hours to walk from Golmud to Nagqu, so plan your time accordingly.

Based on my experience of driving in and out of Tibet three times, it is best to stay one night in Tanggula Mountain Town, which is also the Tuotuo River. Don’t listen to people saying that you can reach Nagqu from Golmud on the same day. Don't take an example as a general rule. The current road conditions simply don't allow it, and you should put your own driving safety first. It is also recommended to stay in a room that supports Qi for an additional 100 yuan.

It is best to live in Tuotuohe, but you can also live in Yanshiping. The conditions in Wudaoliang are relatively poor. I have traveled the Qinghai-Tibet line twice, once in Amdo and once in Tuonihe. Anduo has a higher altitude, but it is just a county town. It is not recommended to stay in Amdo, for fear of high altitude sickness. Where to stay actually depends on which point you must go to. Suitable accommodation, so prepare a strategy. It is not recommended to drive on the Qinghai-Tibet line by driving at night as it is also dangerous.

I walked through it in October this year and stayed one night at Tuotuo River. In 2015, three good friends and veteran drivers and I set off from Naqu at 6 a.m. and arrived at Golmud at around 1 a.m. the next day (it was very tiring to drive several times, especially at night when it was difficult to drive). In 2018, my family of four departed from Nagqu at around 7 a.m. and arrived in Golmud at around 5 a.m. the next day. (It’s just a couple driving and it’s too hard to drive with two children, and driving at night is difficult and dangerous). So this year, my wife and I set off from Nagqu around 9 a.m. and arrived at Tuotuohe River around 7 p.m. to stay (it was the worst mistake to just find a hotel that costs 200 yuan for one night, as the environment is poor and the oxygen supply The equipment is poor. Tuotuohe is a high-altitude area with extremely dry air and very poor air quality. You must stay at the Yangtze River Source Hotel, which is expensive but has the best service quality in Tuotuohe). We set off around 9 a.m. the next day, and the scenery along the way was so beautiful (I couldn't sleep at night because of the high fever, so I didn't go to bed until 3 or 4 a.m., so I had to be careful when I woke up in the morning. The outside temperature was 13 degrees Celsius, which was too cold). Have a safe journey.

Where to go from Golmud to Tanggula Pass? It is recommended that you stay away unless there are special circumstances. The altitude of Tanggula Mountain Pass is more than 4,000 meters. Generally, people will not be able to bear the altitude sickness, because altitude sickness will cause headaches, chest tightness, and inability to sleep at night. Rather than endure it, It is better not to rest here than to suffer from high altitude sickness. Therefore, it is recommended to set off from Golmud at six in the morning and arrive in Damxion at around 10:30 in the evening.

I have been to 109 twice and did not dare to stay in the middle due to the high altitude. Both times were 1,180 kilometers directly from Golmud to Lhasa. It is best to leave after two in the morning and arrive in Lhasa at ten o'clock in the evening
