Lhasa Nyingchi Mountain South Ring Road Self-driving Tour

02/17 2023

Prepare the self-driving route from Lhasa to Nyingchi and Shannan: Lhasa-Basongcuo (Sujieba Village)-Lulang-Yalung Zangbo Grand Canyon (Susong Village)-Jiacha (Sujiacha)-Zedang (Suzedang)-Yanghu - Lhasa. Is the line reasonable? Will the road in Shannan be difficult to drive? Do I need to apply for a border defense permit for this itinerary? Thanks!

Lhasa does not need it, Shannan needs to do it!

Feel sorry! Wrong, our family took this line in 2017, and the Linla Highway was basically opened to traffic in 2018.

Your line highly overlaps with our family’s 18-year Tibet travel route (but we chartered a car). You can go to my Ctrip personal homepage (click on my profile picture) to view related travel notes. But there are a few points to explain: 1. The Linla Highway from Lhasa to Nyingchi was not fully opened to traffic in 2018, and it was basically opened to traffic in 2019, but the Mila Mountain Tunnel had not yet been completed at that time, and only this section still needs to be detoured Take National Highway 318, which is very short but prone to traffic jams, so ask before you go. The Linla Highway is built completely according to the high-speed standard, but it is not completely closed, so it is not called a high-speed. 2. From Nyingchi to Lulang, you can only take National Highway 318. The road conditions are generally good, and a few sections of the road are more difficult to drive; 3. When Lulang turns around and approaches Nyingchi, you can go south to Yarlung Zangbo University In the canyon, the road conditions are also very good before approaching Pai Town. After that, the road surface becomes narrower, but the driving difficulty is relatively low. Private cars can enter the scenic spot, but they are not allowed to take the same route as sightseeing cars. Suosong Village did not go last time, but I heard that private cars can go directly, but it is best to confirm with the innkeeper; 4. Arrival at the Grand Canyon Shannan usually runs from Milin via Lang County to Jiacha. The road surface in this section is very flat. After arriving in Jiacha, it is best to take the new road of Zedang on the north bank of the river. The road condition is very good. The Linla railway was being built along the way, but the construction had a great impact Small; 5. The road conditions from Shannan to Yamdrok Yumco are actually very good, because it is a popular scenic spot with a high star rating, but you need to cross the Ganbala Pass on the way, especially the last section is basically a winding road. There are many corners and urgent; 6. Yamdrok went to Lhasa by mistake, the road condition is good except for the section of the road when he turned back; 7. According to the attractions you have listed so far, there is no A border area pass is required, but it is recommended to carefully sort out the places you are interested in before departure, because the Grand Canyon and Shannan are relatively close to the border attractions, if you want to apply for it, it is best to apply for it at the place of household registration, Lhasa and Shigatse can also apply, but it is a waste time. 8. There are not many high-altitude and difficult road sections on this line. As long as you have driving experience on Panshan Road, there will be basically no problems. guide, or form a team after arriving in Lhasa.
