Arrive at Golmud at 11:51pm
Prepare for Tibet in the afternoon.
Special Tips:
(1) It is recommended to stay at the two-star Golmud Hotel (about 140 RMB for a double room), because Golmud is the actual starting point of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway (from the tourism point of view), and later on the accommodation and food conditions are poorer, in order to cope with all kinds of situations occurring in the high-altitude trip of more than 1,100 kilometers from Ger to Lhasa, it is desirable for the mainland tourists to "Charge". Of course, you can also choose 20 yuan a bed, no independent bathroom Gelmu guest house.
(2) Golmud guesthouse in the residents are almost all fully loaded into Tibet travelers to foreigners, followed by Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong people, you can communicate with them each other to plan, and even companion. In addition, in the city of Geshi buy more fruit and dry food, if it is safe, each person to buy an oxygen cylinder (each about 30 yuan) for emergency use.
(3) from Golmud to Lhasa, Tibet, can be through two ways: one is to take a long-distance bus (sleeper ticket price of 275 yuan), the fastest about 30 hours to arrive in Lhasa, but can not be called to stop to take in the scenery along the way; two is a number of people to pack a car, usually imported cross-country vehicle or modified van, so that not only can comfortably play this section of the journey, but also visit the world's highest altitude Lake Namucuo, see the world's highest altitude of the lake. The lake - Namucuo, watch Ando Tibetan opera show, Naqu Horse Race, etc., per person fare is only 550-650 yuan, as for food and lodging (to be wrapped up in the driver's meal) is the rich and frugal by the people it!
(4) "ten thousand zhang salt bridge" 60 kilometers from the city, it is worth a visit, such as chartered cars into Tibet can be incidental to this (the cost is included in the full journey fare), but also to the city 20 kilometers away from the prairie to see.
Cost subtotal: room 20 yuan, 30 yuan oxygen cylinder, food and water 50 yuan (more fruit and cookies, along the way, resolutely do not eat in the hotel), chartered car 600 yuan
Total: 700 yuan
The seventh day:
chartered car departed along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway southward, along the way through the great northwest of the cool and tragic Gobi Desert, "Kunlun Bridge (3400 meters above sea level), the legendary Nachitai Frozen Springs (3776 meters above sea level), the "Kunlun June Snow" (6000 meters above sea level), the windy Kunlun Mountain Pass (4767 meters above sea level), the vast and deep Erlun Mountains (4,767 meters above sea level), the Gobi Desert, the Gobi Desert, the Gobi Desert, the Gobi Desert, the Gobi Desert, and the Gobi Desert. ), the vast and deep Erdao Liang (5,200 meters above sea level), the wind crater that changes three times a day (5,100 meters above sea level), and the tranquil and peaceful source of the Yangtze River Tuotuohe Bridge (4,500 meters above sea level).
Special Tips:
(1) The area above 5000 meters above sea level is usually a "forbidden zone" for human beings, so it is better to make a quick decision on this altitude line, and it is not advisable to stay for too long. During the trip, people will have different degrees of plateau reaction, the light will be drowsy (best not to fall asleep), chest tightness and shortness of breath (do not laugh and run loudly), the heavy will have a splitting headache (you can take some painkillers) and even intermittent coma (you can inhale some oxygen). But as long as you don't have a cold, and you don't have a heart condition or asthma, it's not dangerous. Do not use oxygen until you can't stand it any longer to avoid dependence.
(2) Qinghai-Tibet Highway is the coldest of the four highways into Tibet, so you must have a down jacket; the daily temperature difference of up to 10 degrees Celsius 20 degrees, must pay attention to avoid a cold (at high altitude it is very easy to cause pulmonary edema and even lead to life-threatening).
(3) that night you can live in the Yangtze River source station, the price of 25 yuan / person, with oxygen cylinders. If you are not feeling well, you can find the hygienist at the military station to prescribe some medicine. This night is particularly difficult, can chat with the soldiers at the station (they are stationed in this "lifeline" all year round, not afraid of hardship, really respectable and lovely!) They are so honorable and adorable! If you can survive, the rest of the trip will be much easier.
(4) near the military station there are several Sichuan restaurants, on the price is not expensive, but the environment is not complimentary.
Cost: 25 yuan + 5 yuan = 30 yuan
Day 8 :
Travel through the Tanggula Pass (5,300 meters above sea level), enter the Tibet territory of the Ando plateau pastures (5,000 meters above sea level), and arrive in the evening at the northern Tibetan town of Nagchu (4,800 meters above sea level)
Special Tips:
(1)The Ando-Nagchu is the northern Tibet Vast grassland pastoral area, under the blue sky and white clouds, sheep and yaks speckled, quietly scattered on the green plains. The careful you will be surprised to find that the west side is the sheep pasture and the east side is the yak pasture, mutual non-aggression, in fact, only because of the west side of the dry and the east side of the wet just.
(2) along the way from time to time will see herdsmen in the roadside with some specialties for business, there are cordyceps, saffron, mother of pearl and so on, the real price, you can get off with them to gesture and talk, from which you can experience the simplicity of the pastoral folk style.
(3) Nagchu and Amdo area often held horse races, it is best to understand the situation upon arrival so as not to miss the opportunity (if you watch the horse races in the next day, then delayed by one day to leave, and day 6 and day 7 of the itinerary can be combined into a more compact).
(4) in Naqu accommodation has to live in Tibetan-style felt room and live in the hotel two forms. The former is simple but can feel the northern Tibetan herdsmen's warmth and boldness; the latter can live in the Naqu Hotel located in Saini East Road, No. 262 (one-star, room rates of about 180 yuan).
Cost: stay at the Tibetans' home, give some small gifts, each person to give 10 yuan + 5 yuan = 15 yuan
Day 9 :
From Nagchu to Dangxiong, visit one of the three sacred lakes of Tibet Namucuo Lake (the world's highest lake - 4,718 meters above sea level), see the beauty of the sacred lake, camping that night in the lake or stay in a lakeside guesthouse.
Special Tips:
(1)The 48 kilometers from Dangxiong to Namucuo need to climb over the mountains (through the 5000 meters above sea level Ladola Pass), the road conditions, such as off-road vehicle performance is not good fear of accidents.
(2) Sacred Lake lake scenery is very charming, but the climate has three seasons a day, pay attention to clothing.
(3) lakeside accommodation is best camping, can rent a tent and down, sleeping bags, cooking utensils in the charter; in Dangxiong to buy vegetables and canned food, so that everything is ready, of course, such as the nearby herdsmen felt room, but also with them **** into the Tibetan meal - if you can eat.
(4) It is said that a circle around the sacred lake can be good luck, all things win, have time to turn around. The sky high lake, the water color blue, in the altitude of 7147 meters Nianqing Tanggula mountain snow peaks reflecting, looks quiet magnificent, make people linger.
Cost: $30 at Lakeside Guest House
Day 10 :
Depart in the morning to leave the mountain. Have lunch in Dangxiong, arrive at Yangbajing in the afternoon, watch geothermal immersion hot springs for rest and recuperation before entering Lhasa. Accommodation in Yangbajing military station.

The hot spring baths here can relieve tiredness and sleepiness, and at an altitude of 4200 meters above sea level, swimming under the snow-covered mountains (of course, you can only swim slowly), the world may be difficult to find a second one! (Tickets 10 yuan, swimming trunks 20 yuan, bathing suit 40 yuan)

2. Because of the accumulation of small, buy mineral water in Lhasa is also a ratio of expenditure, it is recommended to buy the whole box, can get wholesale prices.
3. Most of the computers in Lhasa's Internet cafes use the WIN98 operating system, and the CD-ROM drive is removed, and the speed of the Internet is slow, so it is very inconvenient to upload photos from a digital camera.

Special Tips:
1. On the Nepalese side of the Customs, there are a lot of brokers pulling the guests who are going to Kathmandu by bus. Most of them are ripping off the customers and the quotes are very watered down. Personally, I think the price of chartering a small car from Nepal Customs - Kathmandu is around Rs.1500 to Rs.2000.
2. In general, the accommodation in Kathmandu is much cheaper than the domestic. 4, 50 yuan can live in the domestic two-star to three-star conditions of the room. But you need to bargain.
3. In Kathmandu, except for Tamel Area, the traffic is chaotic and the air pollution is serious. The streets of Kathmandu are full of bunkers, checkpoints and armored vehicles, in the midst of civil unrest in Nepal.
4. Like many tourist cities in China, Kathmandu's tourism industry is full of rip-offs. The general public seems to be mostly down-to-earth and welcoming.
5. Perhaps because of its long history as a British colony, the western food in Kathmandu is of a very high standard, and the prices are very cheap, not comparable to the level of western food in China.
6. The bakery in Tamel Area is half price after 8pm or 9pm, you can buy it for breakfast, but the taste is average.
