Outside Lhasa, roads can be rough and a rented 4-wheel drive is a good (and sometimes the only) way to get around. One popular route is from Lhasa to the Nepalese border, via Yamdrok-tso, Gyantse, Shigatse, Sakya, Everest Base Camp and Tingri. The trip to Mt Kailash and Namtso is another journey where a 4-wheel drive is the best choice. It is a comparatively expensive way to travel (around 1000 RMB per vehicle per day), so ask around for information on the best deals.
Trips outside Lhasa are controlled and cannot be taken without a guide and an itinerary pre-approved by the PSB. Plan carefully and include all destinations which you feel that you may want to visit. Once on the road, the driver will not go to places not included on the itinerary.
