What land vehicle do you use in Tibet?

If the tour is mainly around Lhasa, we’d arrange you a minivan as the road conditions around Lhasa are quite good. The minivan cost less as well. If the tour is covering some places with bad road condition and long distance to drive, we will use 4WD off road vehicles in stead.
