Jeep and 4 X 4 Safari in Tibet
Being at a high altitude, the roads in Tibet are not exactly the best in the world and to get to certain remote areas you have to travel over un-metalled stretches. Hence travelling in these remote areas is best done by a strong, Jeep type vehicle. And there will be enough areas where it is not possible to drive and trekking is the only way to see the high altitude monasteries and lakes. Also not all areas of Tibet have good hotels or even Guest Houses and you will have to stay in tents overnight and enjoy the fun of high altitude camping.
