A: We offer tour vans (9-14 seats), mini tour bus or bigger tour bus (from 19 to 40 seats) and also 4WD tour vehicles, while the 4WD is only for the deluxe and private tours, since it costs not efficiently and generally more expensive as it can be only good for 2-4 travelers plus one tour guide and one driver, so it is more expensive if your own tour group is just with 2 or 3 persons. On the other hand, the road condition in Tibet is better and better, mini tour vans and tour buses are more and more popular even for Everest Base Camp trip and Mt.Kailash trip, it becomes more comfortable and cheaper due to more space and more tourists sharing the cost.
