Namtso self-driving tour itinerary

Tianhu-Namtso Tianhu-Namtso Self-guided Tour Tags: Namtso Tashi Peninsula Yangbajing Nyenchen Tanglha Peak Namtso is the highest saltwater lake in the world and the second largest saltwater lake in China. The Tibetan name is Tianhu. For this reason, if you go to Lhasa, you should go to Namtso. Since 2006, all roads from Lhasa to Namtso have been connected, and Namtso is located between Damxung County, Lhasa City, Tibet Autonomous Region, and Bangor County, Nagqu Prefecture. It is not only a famous Tibetan Buddhist holy place, but also a quiet resting lake on the plateau. There are many creeks flowing beside the lake, and the water is crystal clear. The lake is dark blue, and the water and sky are the same color. The best time to go to Namtso is from June to September.

In October, Namtso will begin to close the mountains due to heavy snow. Summer is from June to September, so there is a lot of iceberg melt and rain at this time. Although it is summer, due to the high altitude, you must pay attention to measures to prevent rain and cold. If it is a self-guided tour, 2 days is usually the best arrangement. Namtso 1. Route/Transportation Namtso at Yangpajing Nyenchen Tanglha Peak Damxunggenla Pass in Lhasa. The total distance is about 190 kilometers, and it takes more than 3 hours to reach Namtso. The places mentioned above are all areas that you must pass through or are not far away from each other. If you take a bus directly from Lhasa to Namtso, the bus may not stop at these places. If you are traveling by car, you can first enjoy the geothermal hot springs in Yangbajing, then see the majestic charm of Nyenchen Tanglha Pass, then ride on the grasslands of Damxung, and finally reach Tianhu Namtso. From Lhasa to Namtso, you don’t need to ask someone to charter a car like before. You can take the car directly in Namtso, which saves time and trouble. Tickets are 150 yuan/person for one day and 200 yuan/person for two days.

It is only responsible for the round trip, and the rest will depart from your hotel around 7 am every morning. If you are afraid of missing the bus, you'd better get in touch first. Also, you can get off the Qinghai-Tibet Line directly at Damxung, then charter a bus at Damxung and go directly to Namtso. This is not only physically exhausting, but also cost-effective. It is best to go to Lhasa first and then go to Namtso.

Two. Strategy 1. If you go to Namtso, it is best to stay in Lhasa for two days to adapt to this plateau climate. If you stay overnight at an altitude above 4,000 meters, altitude sickness will usually occur, and you have to pass through the Genla Pass at 5,190 meters on the way, so be sure to bring altitude sickness medicine.

2. Due to the high altitude, the car will stop for a rest at Nyenchen Tanglha Pass and Genla Pass. This is also a good opportunity to take photos, but be sure to pay attention to your physical strength and try not to do strenuous exercise. When passing through the Genla Pass, it is best not to get into any arguments with the locals. After taking pictures, get in the car and leave. People here often take yaks out to charge for photography, which feels a bit unreasonable.

3. If you stay overnight in Namtso, you usually live on the Tashi Peninsula, which is also the only place to go to Namtso. There are relatively basic hotels and restaurants here. The accommodation fee is 20 yuan per person. The conditions are not good. You need to bring your own food before going to Namtso. If you encounter peak season, you have to prepare for camping. The altitude is high and it's quite cold at night. First, you must prepare your tent, sleeping bag, and warm clothing in advance.

4. If you are exposed to sunlight during the day, the ultraviolet rays are very strong, so you should pay attention to sun protection. The weather in Nacuo is changeable, so bring rain gear. Maybe it will rain and hail when the sun comes out.

5. If you can’t say hello to a local, don’t say hello. The Tibetans in Namtso are very unfriendly. Never ride their horses. Easy to get up, hard to get down. Many Tibetans with Namtso will charge you money for no reason.

6. The scenery of Namtso is beautiful in the morning and evening. The sunset in the evening, the stars in the evening, and the sunrise in the morning are the three most beautiful scenery on Namtso Lake. Don’t miss it.

7. The number of tickets for Namtso has increased to 100 in 2006. The place where they are sold is far away from Namtso, so a driver will buy them all together. There will be a ticket inspector before entering Namtso.

Tip 1. If the weather is bad, don’t go to Namtso. There may be heavy snow in Genla Pass and it is very cold in Namtso. Even if he went, he probably wouldn't be able to arouse much interest. 2. If you go to Namtso, Tashi Peninsula is the most beautiful scenic spot. Don’t call it over when you get to Namtso. 3. If you want to hike Namtso, don’t be brave. After all, the altitude is so high.

4. The water in Namtso Lake is salt water, but you can drink it after boiling or filtering it. However, you should also prepare fresh water before going to Namtso Lake, just in case. Tibet 7-day self-guided tour in winter, self-driving tour (7-day self-guided tour in Lhasa, Tibet) People always feel that they cannot go to Tibet in winter, because in their impression, Tibet, a snowy plateau covered with ice and snow all year round, must be severely cold in winter, and the plateau The reaction must be stronger. In fact, Tibet is still suitable for traveling in winter, although it is not as warm as spring. Tibet has a unique geographical location and extremely complex terrain, so it has various climates throughout the year. In Lhasa, Tibet, which is more than 3,000 meters above sea level and relatively low in altitude, due to its high latitude and sufficient sunshine, the highest temperature can sometimes reach more than ten degrees during the day and only about zero degrees at night. Moreover, the climate in Tibet is dry and you won’t feel cold. There are fewer tourists in winter, which is another reason to travel to Tibet in winter.

You can spend a whole day at a certain attraction and savor its unique charm. Sometimes you are the only tourist in the entire scenic spot, and you can deeply feel the tranquility and charm of Tibet. If there is no time pressure, Lhasa in winter is very suitable for travelers to spend time here.

In the warm afternoon sunshine, find a Tibetan teahouse, spend the afternoon and watch the devout pilgrims. There will be some philosophical thoughts that you don't usually experience, which can really make you forget the world. In places with relatively low altitudes such as Nyingchi, Shigatse, Yadong, and Zedang, the scenery changes little. You can also go to Namtso. There is another kind of heroism on the frozen lake. Mount Everest is visible and clear. However, these two places are high in altitude and too cold to live in. Bomi is beautiful, regardless of the season. In summer, I can’t go even if I want to. In winter, it's different. The road is smooth. The snow-capped Ranwu Lake is more beautiful than ever.

The scenery of Songcuo, Lulang Snow Mountain Lake, and Namjagbarwa is clearer than at other times. Tibet in winter has its own unique mystery. In addition, going from Tibet to Nepal in winter is also the best travel route. The dry season is the peak season in Nepal. The climate is warm and not as muggy as the rainy season. As long as you have a private passport, you can easily get a Nepal tourist visa in Lhasa. Of course, the best way to go to Tibet in winter is by plane, because self-driving travel takes a long time and is really cold and bitter. The most important thing is that the scenery is not as good as in the warm season. Winter is the off-season for tourism, so travel costs will be much lower. Accommodation is cheap, less than half the price in high season. Traffic is also cheap.

It only costs 1,800 yuan to and from Nyingchi, 1,200 yuan to Shigatse, and 1,000 yuan to Namtso. If the car is a little worse, the price is a little cheaper, the price is only half of the peak season. In this winter and Tibet, can't you give yourself enough reasons? There is an advertisement to the effect that everyone goes to the right, and I go to the left. Being different is secondary, but it makes perfect sense to go to Tibet in the winter. Kunming-Lhasa-Mount Everest 10 days, Kunming, road trip, Lhasa, Mount Everest, ***3317 kilometers. Overall road conditions are good. The route is relatively long and the road conditions along it are not good, making walking difficult.

But because the destination is Mount Everest, it is particularly attractive, and this is what makes this route special. Route introduction Lhasa and Katse are both beautiful places. Lhasa is a city and suburb with many places of interest, such as the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Drepung Temple, Sera Monastery and Ganden Monastery, which are already famous both at home and abroad. Traveling all the way to Shigatse, in order to see the greatness of the roof of the earth, people with lofty ideals are eager to realize their dream of challenging the limits of mankind. This is the beauty of Mount Everest.

Shigatse boasts the highest mountain in the world, and today it has become one of Tibet's most attractive tourist attractions. Shigatse is located in southern Tibet, at the confluence of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the Nianchu River. The former capital of Later Tibet has an altitude of 3,800 meters. It is currently the second largest city in Tibet, the political and religious center of Later Tibet, and the place where the Panchen Lama lives in Xi. Beautiful natural scenery and unique hidden life, this place is known as the most pleasant and beautiful manor. Continuing southward from Shigatse, you can reach Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. It can reach Nagqu in the north, Lhasa and Shannan in the east, and Ngari in the west. It is recommended that the Katse tourist area has sufficient sunshine, a mild climate, and an average annual temperature of 6.3.

The weather and tourist facilities here are good, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery here at any time, but winter is not as green and vibrant as summer. But if you want to go on an adventure trip to Mount Everest, you need to know that October to April of the following year are not suitable for travel due to cold weather; in addition, July and August are the rainy season, and Mount Everest cannot be seen in the mist and rain. Therefore, April to June every year is the best time to view Mount Everest. Departure place: Yunnan Destination: Tibet Travel Agency: China Self-Driving Network. 739, 11-day trip, adult fee is 9,800 yuan/person, (children aged 2-12 years old) fee is 0 yuan/person.

Sending time: no limit, registration needs to be 10 days in advance, call 010-65709365 First day itinerary Kunming-Chuxiong-Dali-Lijiang (806km) Catering: three meals Accommodation: three-star scenic spot Erhai Lijiang Ancient Town Lijiang Tiger Leaping Gorge Dianchi Ancient City Lijiang International Youth Hostel Kuocangshan

Self-driving guide Kunming-Chuxiong-Dali-Lijiang (806km) road conditions are good for 8 hours. The total distance from Kunming to Chuxiong-Dali is 326 kilometers. Less than 30 kilometers west from Kunming along National Highway 324, you can reach Dianchi Lake, which is a representative attraction in Kunming. To go to Dali, you need to pass through Chuxiong along National Highway 320. It should be noted that the road from Kunming to Chuxiong is under construction, so it is naturally difficult to walk on it. Some places are like single-plank bridges; there is a highway behind, and you can drive fast: Chuxiong-Dali, that is, Kunming to Xiaguan (Dali New Town) via Chuxiong ) section of the road. The main scenic spot of Cang'er Sea is the main scenic spot of Dali Ancient City, but it is not the best compared to the subsequent scenic spots, so I suggest you not to love it too much and stay here less. Better attractions are waiting for you later. The Dali-Lijiang highway runs from Xiaguan to Lijiang via Dali Ancient Town and is a first-class kilometer long. The distance from Dali to Lijiang in the north is about 218 kilometers, and the road condition is very good. It's not easy to get lost on a four-lane road without any side roads.

From Dali to Lijiang, this is a strictly controlled road section. If you are afraid of speed tests, it is best to drive at an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Although the car is slow, Lijiang's blue sky is all the way. It feels good to enjoy the white clouds while driving. After arriving in Lijiang, because cars cannot enter the ancient city, we can only park outside the ancient city and walk into the city. I visited Tiger Leaping Gorge and it was very nice.

Highlights: The scenery along the road today is beautiful, which is a wonderful enjoyment, especially the section near the ancient city of Dali Highway.

There is Erhai Lake on one side and Cangshan Mountain on the other. The road inside the car is lined with rice fields and peaceful Bai villages. The hazy snow-capped mountains are just floating above the clouds, dreaming. It is best to pay attention to altitude sickness and prepare medicine. The expressway from Kunming to Xiaguan (Dali New Town) via Chuxiong is also the expressway with the most detours and the fastest speed, with a speed of up to 160 kilometers per hour. Although the expressway is on a mountain road, the mobile phone signal is good all the way. The next day's itinerary is Lijiang (Lijiang-Lugu Lake, Goddess Peak-Lijiang)-Shangri-La (200km) Catering: three meals Accommodation: three-star passing by the scenic Shangri-La Songzanlin Temple Zhongdian

Self-driving guide to Lijiang (Lijiang -Lugu Lake, Goddess Peak-Lijiang)-Shangri-La (200km) with good road conditions. 4 hours. Lijiang-Tiger Leaping Gorge-Zhongdian with good road conditions. The total distance is about 190 kilometers.

Zhongdian and Daocheng in Sichuan are both called China's Shangri-La. The so-called Shangri-La is a paradise. This route is very famous and there are many attractions to see. You can visit Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is about 110 kilometers from Lijiang to Zhongdian.

Highlights The terrain of Tiger Leaping Gorge is truly breathtaking. The river flows through the narrow valley from top to bottom, roaring, leaping over the rocks in the river like a tiger, and rushing away. People look so small by the river. The roaring Jinsha River in Laohu Gorge will definitely shock you. Here, DV will have its place. Leave Tiger Leaping Gorge and go to Xiaozhongdian. The scenery along the way will be more natural and moving than those attractions that sell tickets. After arriving in Zhongdian, you can go to Songzanlin Temple and see if this Lama Temple, which imitates the Potala Palace under the sunset, will make you a little excited. Pay attention to the thrill of Tiger Leaping Gorge. The third day's itinerary Shangri-La - Yanjing - Zuogong (568km) Meals: Three meals Accommodation: Other attractions: Qamdo Tourist Scenic Area Mangkang County

Self-driving guide Shangri-La - Yanjing - Zuogong (568km) Road conditions are poor 10 Hour. The total distance from Shangri-La to Yanjing is 300 kilometers. We have begun a difficult journey into Tibet, and the road ahead will become increasingly difficult. The total length of Yanjing-Zogong is 268 kilometers. It is worth noting that the Congba section of this section, where the road is being built, is not open from 6:00 to 7:00. So don't start too early in the morning. If you leave too early, you will have to wait by the Tea Horse Road. When it opens to traffic, you can have a cup of butter tea with the control office. You can ask them to taste it. You'll love it the first time. You can arrive at Mangkang County in the afternoon and take a walk before departure. When we arrived in Qamdo, the road section here was probably the worst in Tibet.

What is worth noting here is that the children on the road are very wild. They scare people so much that they dare not drive and use various methods to stop cars. Until later in Linzhi, when the children you met on the street greeted you politely, people still thought they were causing damage again and worried about whether stones would be thrown at them. Highlights: After leaving Deqin, you can see many snow-capped mountains along the way, and the scenery is particularly beautiful.

Note: In the cold and hypoxic zone above 5,000 meters above sea level, it is best to prepare all Shangri-La supplies before departure. It is best to add 40 liters of spare oil, spare oil, spare water and other supplies to avoid shortages on the road. You also need to buy a big hatchet, it is very useful. If there is a place that cannot be passed and there are not enough shovels, trees will be cut down to pave the way. The fourth day itinerary Zuogong-Ranwu (322km) Meals: Three meals Accommodation: Other attractions Ranwu Lake Ranwu Lake Ranwu Valley Self-driving Guide Zuogong-Ranwu (322km) The road conditions were poor, and the whole journey of 322km took six hours to complete. South of Sichuan-Tibet line. On this day, we climbed mountains and waded in rivers, crossed bridges and waded in rivers (the deepest part of the water was more than half a meter, and the river bed was wide and curved). This was the most difficult path. People on the bus would feel very uncomfortable, stretching their hands in front of them and staring at the road. Over time, you will become pale. On this day, the most exciting and uncomfortable road began to appear. It comes from the old way. The new road is basically open to traffic, but it is not allowed to pass through. Arrive at Ranwu in the evening. You'll see some cows soaring down the road. So, gradually, we came to Lhasa. The highlight of Ranwu’s note is regarding fuel consumption. With four people seated on a good road section in Tibet, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 6.x liters, but in some places it can be as high as more than 20 liters, which is enough to prove the difficulty of the road. The fifth itinerary is Ranwu-Bayi (80km) Meals: three meals Accommodation: passing by Ranwu Lake August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower and other attractions Self-driving guide Ranwu-Bayi. The road this day was more difficult than the previous day; Bomi, about 80 kilometers away from Linzhi, was the second largest mudslide in the world. It takes nearly 8 hours to complete, but there are faster ones. It also takes 7 hours, the road is difficult, and there are certain requirements for your car. He better have strong cross-country ability, otherwise it will be difficult to walk. You'd better relax and drive slowly on this road; remember to bring a shovel just in case.

Highlights: Location of the second largest mudslide in the world. Precautions. If you follow an off-road vehicle too fast on the 80-kilometer road, the car may have the following problems: (1) The hub cap is knocked off and the chassis is scratched. If injured, the rear fender will be damaged; (2) The vehicle speed is too fast and the road surface is too slippery. Although it is flat and not dangerous, cars will be on the road. (3) If it breaks down, instead of following the car in front, it will get stuck after crossing a small bend in the Xiaoshi River. Slowdowns and above can be avoided; although none of this is a big loss, it is still necessary for the team to help each other. The accompanying off-road convoy would cross the river to the back of the road and pull them out when they had to turn around. When you finish the worst part of the journey, because the heavy vehicle will put a lot of pressure on the road, it is best to transfer all the people on the vehicle to other empty off-road vehicles. This will make it much easier to move forward. A malfunction will occur.

Day 06 Itinerary August 1st - Lhasa (421km) Meals: Three meals Accommodation: Other passing attractions Linzhi Bomigang Township Linzhi Spruce Forest Linzhi

Self-driving guide August 1st - Lhasa (421km) The road conditions are better. The whole journey is 421km and takes 8 hours along the way. Because today's road is particularly easy to walk, if you don't stop and look at the scenery along the way, the car can drive very fast, and the average speed can reach about 100. Just think about two days ago, it was really a world of difference. Linzhi area was mainly built with assistance from Guangdong and is known as Tibet’s Little Jiangnan.

Highlights include Namtso, Holy Lake, and Mount Everest.

Note that Sail cars are recommended for this route. Because of the bottom of the chassis, it is impossible to roll over. This is a very advantageous place. The road is not easy to walk.

Lhasa Museum Dongcuo-International Youth Hostel Lhasa Valley Self-Driving Guide Lhasa-Shigatse (320km) road conditions are good. The journey is 320km in 5 hours, 5 hours along the way. It’s easier to take the new road, but unfortunately you can’t see Yanghu. Qazi, the second largest city in Tibet, is relatively prosperous. Like many cities in the mainland, people gather to gamble everywhere in the streets and alleys, but the dice used are bigger than basketballs. You can also stay in Shigatse for one more day with a border defense permit, waiting to go to Zabulun Temple to see the Living Buddha. Highlight: Living Buddha of Zabulun Temple in Shigatse. Be careful not to go the wrong way.

Day 10 Itinerary Shigatse-Mt. Everest (370km) Meals: Three meals Accommodation: Other passing attractions Self-driving guide Shigatse-Mt. Everest (370km) 11-hour gravel road Travel 370km, taking 11 hours along the way. When we arrived in Xindingri County, we were only over 110 kilometers away from Mount Everest. Tires in Tingri get punctured frequently. There are many sharp rocks in the county, and even the best tires may be punctured. Prepare a spare tire, there is only one place to repair a tire for hundreds of kilometers. Moreover, it takes more than an hour to find a place to repair a tire on Tingri, which is very inefficient. Otherwise we would have to slowly walk dozens of kilometers with worn tires.

Highlights: Before departure, we received blessings from the Living Buddha Gongsang Wangdui of Zabulun Monastery, and received a white khata representing purity presented by the Living Buddha himself.

Note: Mount Everest fee: 400 yuan per car, 65 yuan per passenger on the car (free for the driver) Day 11 itinerary: Dream Everest trip (312km) Meals: Three meals Accommodation: Self-driving guide to other attractions The Dream Everest trip (312km) takes 4.5 hours.

Highlights: Walking on a mountain over 5,000 meters high at night, when the moon is at its largest and roundest, you can see things that most people who come to Mount Everest cannot see. The moonlight is as bright as before, and the snowy field is blurry. It's like living in a poem, unforgettable. After all, there are not many people here who can drive, and you are one of the few people who recognize it.

Please note that the first 50 kilometers is the most difficult part of this road. There are 180-degree sharp turns everywhere. The corners of the walls are dangerously rotten and the mud is slow to reflect. There is a risk of rollover here. Also, the corners are too tight.
