What month is the most suitable for a self-driving tour on the Ali Great Northern Line in Tibet?
For Ali, the temperature in January, May and June is not much different. It is just after winter and spring begins.
2. If you are taking the Great Northern Line, then May-June and mid-September-mid-October are more suitable; if you take the Ali Small Ring Road, the rainy season has little impact on the journey, and May-October is fine.
3. I recommend going in May. Just after winter, the soil is still relatively firm. As the temperature rises, the soil becomes soft and prone to car sinking.
Ngari is known as "the roof of the roof of the world", "the distant third pole of the earth", and "Tibet of Tibet". Walking into Ali is like walking into a prehistoric and chaotic world, with the beauty of the vast and ethereal wilderness.

Precautions for carpool travel on Ali Great North Line:
1. Ali is dry, windy and dusty. Be sure to bring special oily hand and face creams. I didn't bring enough oil, and after 20 days, my hands were as dry as old tree bark.
2. Ali is very dry, put a basin of water in the room or sleep with throat lozenges when going to bed at night. I often wake up with a dry cough.
3. The cosmetics that girls bring should be in glass bottles, tubes or rubber joints, which will be crushed by high pressure on the plateau.
4. Girls must pay attention to their menstrual period. If they catch up in Ali, they are on the road in broad daylight. There are no toilets or shelters on the roadside. Prepare for this in advance.
5. Girls' bras should not be too tight, as it will affect breathing. Wearing a loose bra can reduce some high-reverse discomfort.
6. Bring more wet paper towels and disinfectant paper towels. It is inconvenient to use water along the way. They can be used to wipe your hands or replace your face.
7. In addition to public supplies, individuals also need to prepare some food. There are not many places to replenish on the road, and there are few styles. So it is absolutely necessary to bring some food according to your own taste.
When travel becomes pure, meet the most beautiful scenery at the right time, Ali, this is Tibet in Tibet!
Kind tips:
1. Try not to go alone with a car. The road conditions there are not good, and you are not taking the regular route. Some places are full of forks. At least 2 cars should go together.
2. The reason why you want to go together is mainly because of possible tire blowouts, getting lost, etc. A car is really dangerous.
