Hi everyone.
We have booked a Ganden--> Samye trek through Sim's Cozy. We wanted to provide our own food for the trek, but were told that we should not bring any because it would be provided for us.
My question:
1) Is the food provided generally sufficient in these types of arrangements? What type of food is prepared usually--i.e. same thing at every meal; cheapest grub possible etc.?
2) Should we bring our stove just in case so we are able to cook extra food, or things we're more used to…
It´s driving me crazy!
I don´t know if it´s the same city or 2 cities or 3 o 4 cities.
Can you help me?
Also I have more questions...
Yamdro and Nam Tso Lakes... are the same?
If not, which is better?
Is it better to sleep in Giantse or in Shigatse?
This is the tour we are trying to make:
Día 4: Lhasa-Tsedang-Gyantse- Shigatse.
Yamdrok , Karola, Pelkor
Día 5: Shigatse-Shegar (NewTingri)
Tashilumpo & Sakya
Is it ok? Possible?
Thanks a lot!

First, about transportation to/from the Kangding Airport; it's hard for me to find much info on this:
Is there a direct minivan/bus to Kangding?
Is there any minivan/bus from the airport to Tagong or at least to that turn off for Tagong (Xinduqiao I think)?
Coming from Litang to Kangding, is the airport close to the main road so I could get off the bus at the airport?
Is there any accomodation just near the airport? Dare I say budget accomodation?
Do they fly all year Chengdu to/from Kangding?

Dear all,
can you recommend nice hotel in Lhasa and Shigatse ? my budget is double room with bathroom less than 200 RMB . I check with Yak hotel their rate is quite steep around 260-300 RMB per night
Thanks,

Hi
I am planning a trip to Western Tibet tentatively from 4th October - end October.
Starting with Lhasa and then onto Kailash, Guge and Mansarovar.
The regular route seems to be the southern route but I have read that it closes sometime in mid October. What about the Northern route? Which of the routes is more scenic? On which of the two routes is it possible to come across nomads?
Second, Air China now flies to Ngari from Lhasa - but I was told it is not available to foreigners. Any way to…
I am going to China in July for 7 weeks, 4 weeks in Chengdu to work at the panda reserve, however after that is finished I thought id do a spot of travelling and after reading about the monks at Dala Gong I have decided I would love to go and visit them as well as the Tibetan way of life and the amazing scenery out there.......My question is this...Would I be able to travel to Ganzi with just a Chinese visa or would I require a guide and an organised tour? Roughly how far can I go into Tibet…

Hi,
I am coming into China in the next couple of days and hoping to head from Beijing towards Tibet once there. I am fairly new to the travel game and was hoping to get some advice on which city to head towards to get to Tibet.
Cheers
