LISTEN I ADVERTEISED FOR SOMEONE TO DRIVE ME WITHA PRIVATE CAR FROM LHASA TO GYANTSE, THEN TO SHIGATSI AND BACK TO LHASA. THEY QUOTED ME 4,200 RMB. I JUST HAD A FRIEND RETURN FROM A ONE WEEK TRAVEL PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDED AIR FARE FROM SHANGHAI TO XIAN TWO DAYS, 4 STAR HOTEL PLUS FOOD, THEN ONTO LHASA , AGAIN 4 STAR HOTEL, PLUS FOOD, AND TOURS OF THE TEMPLES . A TOUR OF SHIGATSI AND OTHER TOWNS, ONE FULL WEEK AND HERE PRICE WAS 6,000 RMB TOTAL FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING AIRFARE ROUNDTRIP TO SHANGHAI. NOW I FOUND THAT YOU CAN RENT A CAR FROM THE TERMINAL WITH 4 PEOPLE TOTAL, PER CAR. EITHER A SANTANA OR TOYOTA JEEP, AND THE COSTS I 80 RMB PER PERSON FROM LHASA TO SHIGATSI, SO BEWARE OF THESE ROBBERY, HIGH PRICES AND THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO CHEAT FOREIGNER TRAVELERS. YOU CAN BET A FULL COPY OF THE BUSS , GOLEN CUP SMALL BUSS, SANTANA VW OR TOYOTA RENTAL CAR WITH A DRIVER TO MANY LOCATIONS FROM THE MAIN INTERNET WHICH GIVES YOU FULL PRICES FROM BOTH TERMINALS, SO BEWARE OF THESE RIP OFFS . iT IS NOT NECESSARY TO PAY HIGH PRICES WHEN YOU CAN COMFORTABLY GET THE SAME THINGS FOR MUCH MUCH LESS MONEY. |

You can have different feelings if you are backpacking. It's totally different from a tour group.
