<img style="margin: 0px" alt=" " src="/images/logo/ico/point007.gif" width="10" height="9" /> 1. Travel groups organized by travel agencies 
Advantages: well-scheduled, no worries about transport, dining and lodging. 
Disadvantages: the most expensive way of traveling.

Advantages: cheap (if you can find some companions to share the expenses), flexible travel schedules. 
Disadvantages: You and your group have to get fully prepared for the journey, such as where to find restaurants and hotels and how to cope with unexpected accidents. If the vehicle breaks down on the way or rainy days occur, you will be confronted with unforeseen obstacles.   
Useful Information: You can rent a 4WD or jeep in either Lhasa or <a href="/shigatse/index.htm">Shigatse</a>, but it is easier to find one in Lhasa. Do pay attention to the condition of the vehicle, the driver's road sense and whether he has driven to Ngari. A well-conditioned vehicle with a skillful and experienced driver will greatly improve your trip. The price should be confirmed prior to departure, with the usual cost of a round trip being about CNY 10,000. Notices looking for travel companions can be found in Yak Hotel, Snowland Hotel and Banak Shol Hotel in Lhasa. Don't hurry to depart until there are enough members in your group (usually 4-5 persons for a 4WD or jeep expedition) to ensure an economical and safe journey.

Advantages: If you are not that lucky finding travel companions, taking coaches would be far cheaper than renting a vehicle and driver by yourself. 
Disadvantages: No direct coaches from Lhasa to Purang. The town of Shiquanhe can be directly accessed by two routes: Lhasa-Shigatse-Tsochen-Shiquanhe; Lhasa-Shigatse-Bagar-Shiquanhe. However, the service is not available every day.  
Useful Information: Bagar, which can be directly accessed by coach, is only about 20km (12 miles) to <a href="/cityguide/ngari/kailash.htm">Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar</a>. 
Coach Stations: The North Suburb Coach Station, Lhasa Add: Zhaji Lu, Lhasa Ngari Chiru (Zang Lingyang) Transportation Corporation Add: No. 37 Niangre Lu, Lhasa (neighboring the Ngari Prefecture Office in Lhasa)

Advantages: the cheapest way of traveling 
Disadvantages: with no idea of where and when trucks or mail cars may pass by, the trip would be full of hardships and anxiety.   
Useful Information: Truck drivers usually take the north route (please referred to the above route form) to Ngari and they can be found around No. 37 Niangre Lu, Lhasa, where the Ngari Prefecture Office in Lhasa is located. It is also practicable to hitchhike in Lhaste, a small town near to Shigatse, where there is a bridge that is inevitably crossed by all vehicles to Ngari. Note that hitchhiking in Tibet also carries a charge, though just a small sum compared with hiring a jeep or taking coaches.
