Transportation

You may probably think it should be a land cruiser to go everywhere because of bad condition roads. If so, you are just 50% right. Common vehicles could run on some of the roads, say for instance, Lhasa to the airport, to Tsedang, to Nakchu. Only to those far away from Lhasa land cruisers will be used for the smooth passing. In this way and having this understanding, you may save part of your money to Tibet. Of course, you may use land cruisers for all your trip in Tibet despite of the expensive cost.

As far as land cruisers are concerned, there are a few kinds or classifications in terms of per mile price and comfort. Here below is the lists of variety of land cruisers which you may use while you are ready to tour in Tibet.

1. TOYOTA 60 or TOYOTA 62: Safe, four wheel drive, and cheaper but

    no A/C or a little bit bumpy   

   This kind of land cruiser is commonly used by tourists if you

   do not mind its a little uncomfortness. It was manufactured by

   Japan years ago but very popular in Tibet by those who want to

   save money but challenge themselves.

2. TOYOTA 80: Safe, four wheel drive, medium price (not cheaper or 

    not expensive), A/C     equipped   

   a little bit newer than first kind, and comfort. but expensive than first

   kind. Not that much popular than first due to its price which is

   however affordable to common tourists. 

3. TOYOTA 4500 ( desert king): Safe, four wheel drive, expensive, A/C

    equipped, much more comfort

    Only those who could spend money on comforts in touring

    in Tibet. It is luxury both inside and outside and much more comfort

     if driving on the rough roads.
