In this life, you must drive 318 all the way west to Lhasa

Tibet, known as the 'Roof of the World', not only has magnificent natural scenery, but also a profound cultural heritage. Here is a ten-day self-driving guide for winter travel in Tibet, hoping to help you plan your itinerary better. Day 1: Adapt to the plateau environment in Lhasa After arriving in Lhasa, the first task is to adapt to the plateau environment of Tibet. It is recommended to choose a hotel with oxygen supply to rest in order to gradually adapt to the plateau climate. Day 2: Cultural landscape of Lhasa city This day you can visit the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Zaki Temple, Sera Monastery and other cultural landscapes in Lhasa city. You can choose 2-3 to visit according to your own interests and time arrangement. Day 3: Lhasa-Mila Mountain Pass-Niyang River-Basumtso Scenic Area-Nyingchi For the first time in Tibet, besides Lhasa, Nyingchi is recommended. Nyingchi is the place with the lowest average altitude in Tibet, with many trees and abundant oxygen, the possibility of high altitude sickness is small, and the comfort level is high. Day 4: Nyingchi-Sejila Mountain-Lulang Forest- Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon-Namjagbarwa Peak When you visit Lulang, you must not miss the local specialty food-Lulang Stone Pot Chicken! The taste is absolutely amazing! Day 5: Nyingchi-Kadinggou Waterfall-Lhasa The biggest highlight of Kadinggou Scenic Area is the waterfall with a drop of nearly 200 meters, which is very spectacular! Day 6: Lhasa-Qushui-Gangbala Snow Mountain-Yamdrok Lake-Karola Glacier-Jiangzi-Shigatse Depart from Lhasa and head towards Shigatse. However, the biggest highlight of this day is Yamdrok Lake in Shannan. Day 7: Shigatse-Lazi-Jiacuola Snow Mountain-Dingri-Everest Base Camp The biggest highlight of this day is of course the world's highest peak-Mount Everest. You can watch the sunset in the evening, the starry sky at night, and the sunrise early in the morning. Day 8: Everest-Jiacuola Mountain-Tashilhunpo Monastery-Shigatse The living conditions in Everest are relatively poor, remember to be mentally prepared, and it is recommended to bring some more hunger-relieving food. Day 9: Shigatse-318 National Road-Lhasa Although it is just a highway, the scenery of the 318 National Road is much more beautiful than many so-called landscapes, so don't ignore the beautiful scenery on the way. Day 10: Time flies so fast, today is the start of the journey home. After ending this wonderful journey, remember to check your personal belongings and do not leave any important items. The scenery of Tibet is unique, looking forward to meeting you again in the next journey!
