Hi there,

I was just wondering was there anyway of hiring a jeep and self-driving through Tibet? Or are there any cheap tours under $500 going to Lhasa and Mount Everest Base camp?

Thanks

I am afraid that you couldn't drive a jeep to do a self-driving through that place. You need to join a group to finish your trip there.

Qinghai-Tibet Railway Corporation will add a temporary passenger train from Xining to Lhasa (K9811/2) starting from July15 to tackle the influx of tourists visiting Tibet during the travel peak. The K9811 train will depart from Xining, capital of Qinghai Province, at 11:30, and will arrive in Lhasa at 12:54 the next day. The train K9812 will leave from Lhasa at 16:10, and arrive in Xining at 17:00 on the next day.
