The usual sense of Namco, has been replaced by Daxiong County Tashi peninsula, 90% of tourists from Lhasa, to the Tashi Peninsula day or two day tour, can only stay area for several hours, at most, be "to This tour ", tasted only. Here we come to unlock the correct answer.  

1. arrived at Nam Co traffic

Namco navigation map BY polar Tianhe

① by car: from Lhasa by car to Namco, there are two roads, namely G109 and S202, Qinghai-Tibet Highway G109 is the Tibetan material transport artery, coaches, large trucks focused on this, heap Longqing County to Yang Bajing between this road often There is a temporary inspection, and the vehicle is too large, the road is likely to cause a narrow traffic jam. S202, often asked me whether this passage can pass, although it is to go to the famous heat Zhen Temple after all the way, but Lin Zhou and Dangxiong between the sections are gravel Panshan Road, can not normally pass.

② bus: from the eastern suburbs of Lhasa passenger station, every day to Dangxiong county bus, but after the arrival of Dangxiong, there are 60KM scenic road, this road can only choose Dangxiong passenger station near the local chartered, Good driver's luck to see the character, the price in a one-way trip around 500 yuan. If you want to miss the night or in the depth of travel, the price will be doubled, it is not recommended to take the bus to Namco.

③ car / carpool: the season of Lhasa, all the places where visitors can find a small car ads, a 5 city SUV prices in the 800--1500 / day range, but in line with the principles responsible for their own, must Consider whether the vehicle has travel qualification? If not, what is the sparsely populated place in Tibet to protect your safety? Is the driver familiar with the road? In the trip encountered differences, peer partners can live in harmony?

④ train: often asked me if you can not train from the train under the train to Namco, and then from Dangxiong train back to Lhasa, so that you can only in the song and Dangxiong between the chartered. This is absolutely not feasible! Tibet is not convenient as the mainland, in the song can not chartered arrived Namco, the train in the male will not stop, occasionally for the wrong car will not open the door to stay.

If your time is limited, can only choose "to this tour" type, in view of the inconvenience of public transport in Tibet, in fact, the easiest way is to participate in 1 day with the tour in Lhasa tour.

2.2017 how to play around the lake?

Namco lake section road conditions BY target is Kawagebo

Namco lake total of 320KM, of which 270KM for the gravel road, 2017 due to road construction, closed the elephant door to the east of the road section, it can only from the scenic gate of the No. 1 camp clockwise arrived at Camp No. 3 (as the door) , After the night in the elephant day door back to Lhasa, one way 465KM, 12 hours or so, which is more conventional way. If the car or by car, without considering the cost of the case, you can first the first day of the Tashi peninsula, the next day before sunrise to the door, visit the back to the Tashi peninsula, the third day from Namco Lhasa , So the time to play more fully.

In the past year there is no road closure, from the Nami Township to the Holy Land is often counterclockwise direction, 2 hours Namco Township - check bitter asphalt road +3 hours check bitter to the elephant door of the dirt road, 5 hours or so from the entrance to the area The elephant elephant door, the road closures in 2017, had a chance to arrive at the door of the Buddha, but the vast majority would be repatriated. The method of insurance was still clockwise. Moreover, it would be possible to see more of the scenery. The journey is long.

This section of the dirt road on the vehicle through the higher requirements, but in addition to the chassis is too low, the family can not go outside the car, the other models can basically pass, if the car to the proposed off-road vehicles. Or a full price, the old driver led the worry trip, is also a good choice ↓ ↓ ↓
