It is my first time to travel to Tibet by self-driving, and the scenery along the way is charming. How many days does it take to travel along the Sichuan-Tibet line by self-driving?

The Sichuan-Tibet line is very long, and a self-driving tour would take seven or eight days at the earliest. The beautiful scenery along the Sichuan-Tibet Line makes people forget to leave. If you want to have a good time, you will need at least 10 to 15 days. Because factors such as weather and road conditions also need to be considered.

When traveling along the Sichuan-Tibet line by car, you need to prepare a strategy in advance. There are many scenic spots along the way, such as low lakes, broad grasslands, towering snow-capped mountains, etc., which are very beautiful. Many self-driving drivers are actually not very familiar with the Sichuan-Tibet Line route and have little experience. Considering the impact of traffic control factors such as weather, they must allow enough time to deal with these problems. The actual travel time is 7 to 9 days, and the remaining time also requires replenishing supplies, studying road conditions and other trivial matters. In addition, some scenic spots are more beautiful and some people want to stay longer, which will cause delays in the trip, so they need to spend time to re-plan the travel route.

There are two routes for self-driving tours in Sichuan and Tibet, one is the southern route and the other is the northern route. Different routes have different scenery along the way. It depends on how you choose. Sometimes when you arrive in a city for a layover, you want to take a detour to visit some scenic spots, which will also take some time on the way. Time needs to be reserved for these temporary additional trips. Coupled with the influence of weather factors, sometimes you have to be stranded in some cities. These are force majeure factors that need to be faced and resolved temporarily.

It is also difficult for some people with poor physical fitness to adapt to altitude sickness after arriving in Tibet. They need a lot of time to rest and adjust their physical condition. Taking into account these emergencies, the Sichuan-Tibet Line will take at least 10 to 15 days to complete. Be prepared in advance and study the route. It is best to travel together, so that you can help each other if something happens on the road and it is safer.
