Is it better to travel to Tibet with a group or by car? Why?

Thank you for your invitation. I-I'm happy to answer this question. (The following pictures and texts are original, please indicate the source, thank you! )

Personally, I think whether to go to Tibet alone or with a group depends on my actual situation. The best time to go to Tibet is August and September. The snow season is from June to March and the rainy season is from April to July. At this time, the road to Tibet is difficult, and there are many sections washed away by dark ice water, which are prone to road landslides and mudslides.

The beauty of Tibet lies not in Lhasa, but in the road. The scenery along the way is beautiful. To truly appreciate the beauty of Tibet, it is recommended to travel freely. You can feel the most beautiful side of Tibet. Only by looking at it all the way can it be natural.

But the free travel time is longer, depending on how much time you can arrange to go to Tibet. If time is limited, it is recommended to go with a group, which can better control the time. August 18, set off from Xiamen by car and returned to Xiamen in 35 days. I really stayed in Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai and Gansu, and the whole journey was about 17000 km.

There are many strategies for free travel, such as routes, daily itineraries, daily accommodation places and scenic spots. Of course, due to the special geographical conditions in Tibet and the United States, some time should be reserved to deal with emergencies, such as traffic jams.

Besides strategy, we should also prepare some materials. Before entering Tibet, it is suggested to take some rhodiola in advance to prevent hyperreflexia, and prepare some commonly used drugs (such as gastrointestinal drugs, antidiarrheal drugs, cold medicines and oxygen bags). We bought a small oxygen generator, and one of our teammates had a little hyperreflexia. Finally, we rely on this oxygen generator to absorb oxygen to alleviate hyperreflexia.

Take enough clothes according to the time of entering Tibet (don't catch a cold or have a fever when entering Tibet). Tibet has strong ultraviolet rays, sunscreen, sunglasses, bibs and sun hats. We should also bring enough dry food and water for emergencies. During the National Day this year, Dieshan and Daocheng were blocked by heavy snow for a day and a night.

Tibet basically has the Internet, and many places can pay by WeChat or Alipay, but cash is still needed, and some remote places still need cash.

Finally, my personal suggestion is: If time permits, let's drive to Tibet. By parking, we can better appreciate the beautiful scenery of Tibet.

I hope I can help you, thank you!

Thanks for asking.

Go on road trip and group tour are two different experiences, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. I'll analyze the pros and cons for you and consider it according to your own situation.

1. Go to road trip.

Advantages: Walking on the Sichuan-Tibet line, you can enjoy all kinds of beautiful scenery and appreciate different customs, and devout believers are so persistent in their beliefs. Because the scenic spots in Tibet are scattered, going to road trip can let you enjoy a more comprehensive landscape, such as the magical light of the five wonders of Hailuogou xinduqiao, Batang surrounded by mountains on three sides, Mangkang Snow Mountain, Kangding scenery and so on. If you are not in road trip, you may miss a series of beautiful scenery along the way.

Disadvantages: You have to face altitude sickness alone. You may get lost without a guide. The road is steep and prone to accidents.

Step 2 travel with a group

Advantages: there will be experienced tour guides to provide services for you. You won. Don't worry about altitude sickness. All kinds of scenic spots are introduced and answered by special personnel, which can make you better understand the history and culture, make the journey less tense and difficult, and enjoy the journey easily and happily.

Disadvantages: the commercialization of tourism will waste a lot of time on shopping spots, and the scenery appreciation is not so comprehensive. Many shocking scenery were abandoned because of cost or road problems.
