For those very adventurous people, driving a 4 wheel-drive vehicle to Tibet is an incredible choice that will be remembered for the rest of your life. This drive does require a lot of courage and determination. You can drive to Tibet via 5 routes:

Sichuan (Chengdu) to Lhasa : 2159 kilometers to 2407 km
Yunnan (Kunming) to Lhasa: 2317 kilometers
Qinghai (Xining) to Lhasa: 1947 kilometers
Xinjiang (Yecheng) to Lhasa: 2743 kilometers
Kathmandu to Lhasa Among the above routes, driving from Qinghai or Kathmandu ("friendship highway") is the easiest. We do not recommend any other routes. Access Tibet can operate 4 wheel driving tours to Tibet. If you would like to take a real adventure by driving all the way to the rooftop of the world, please contact us.

Now you can take a train to Tibet via the world's highest Qinghai-Tibet railway! Although it takes much longer than by plane, you can enjoy the wonderful landscapes and unique experience of traversing thousands of miles on the "roof of the world".
