Suggestions/partners for Kathmandu-Lhasa hitchhiking
Jun 25, 2013 08:17
guestLeonieLY	Hey there, We are two girls planning on a 10-day overland trip(±2 days) from Kathmandu to Lhasa starting from 9th July (possibly by hitchhiking). Any suggestions for female hitchhikers on this route during the monsoon season? We know that the road would be very rough with possible danger of landslide on the Nepali side. We wonder if the road condition would be relatively better on the Tibetan side? We are also informed that hitchhiking in this region is normally not free. Then how much does it roughly cost, say from Xigaze to Gyantse (approximately 90km) by truck? Is there anything particular we should bear in mind? Wondering if anyone would like to partner up or give us a ride for some part our journey (particularly for the trip to the Everest Base Camp-China side)? We are not that much trekking persons, but we do enjoy exploring relatively un-touristed regions and experiencing local culture very much. See our rough itinerary below: 07.09 Kathmandu-114km-Khasa(Nepal-China border)-45km-Nyalam 07.10 Nyalam-210km-(Tingri)-Everest Base Camp 07.11 Everest Base Camp-100km-Xigaze 07.12 Xigaze-Gyantse 07.13 Gyantse-Yamdrok Lake-Lhasa 07.14 Lhasa 07.15 Lhasa 07.16 Lhasa-180km-Nyainqntanglha Mountains-61km-Namtso Lake 07.17 Namtso Lake-Lhasa If you are interested to join us or have a suggestion, please feel free to drop a message. gmail.com\|leonieliuye 163.com\|qdslq2008 Cheers, Conny & Leonie
