Hi,I got information about treking in Linzhi from my Chinese friend. It sounds amazing and I really want to go for a trek.
So it's an area in Linzhi,behind Nanjiabawa Peak.It has been dubbed the "Natural Museum of Tibet" or "Tibetan Botanical Garden". And there's a county Name Motuo,which's the only county with no highway link.
I'm just wondering that is it possible for me<as a foreigner>to go treking there? Do I need to be in a group to go there? Do I need another special permit for it?
thanks !!! I really really want to go visit Motuo!

California was right, you need a permit to visit Linzhi, which costs about 300 yuan rmb.

I think I have to be in a group by the time I enter Tibet,right?
My question was do I need to be in a group when I'm visiting Motuo?

Hi,
I suggest you should in a small group ,that is safer then you own ,but if you like you needn't take in a group ,I also can commend one better tour agency for you.

good luck!
