Transportation

Toyota must be the most popular make and Landcruiser the most popular model in Tibet. My driver already had 334,000 kilometers on his before we started our trip. Most drivers know how to fix their car because accidents are frequent, road conditions poor, gas station and help far and few in between, and weather unpredictable.
