If you want to travel to Tibet, how can it be cost-effective? Do you go by yourself or join a tour group? If you join a tour group, is it cost-effective in China or in Tibet?

To tell the truth, free travel is not cheaper than reporting to the group, and sometimes it is more expensive. In Tibet, transportation is not very convenient, and there are no shuttle buses between some scenic spots.

Although joining a tour group saves effort, it will increase some messy shopping and take up travel time. The places where you sign up for travel are similar. Even if I sign up for a tour in China, I usually send it to Tibet in my personal capacity (that's what I did when I signed up for a tour in Chengdu, so I'll give you a train ticket, get on the bus myself and be picked up by a Tibetan guide).

If you want to be relatively free, you'd better go to Lhasa by yourself, take a one-day tour or two-day tour based in Lhasa, or organize a temporary group with others to charter a bus to a certain scenic spot.

To go to Tibet, you should be prepared to spend a lot of money. Chengdu, Guangzhou and other places to Lhasa hard sleeper nearly 1000 yuan (2 days and 2 nights on the road. In order to adapt to altitude sickness, it is best to take the train. If the train frequency is good, you can also watch the sunset in Qinghai Lake, and you can also see Tibetan antelopes after passing through Hoh Xil. There are thousands of return tickets, and the scenic spots there are all killing people. It is difficult for Potala Palace to get tickets by itself, so we have to go with the group. In short, it takes 10 days to go to Tibet, and it is normal for a person to spend 5000 or 6000.
