Helpfulness
Miscellaneous: when making the trip to gyangze (usually from lhasa), you'll be on the road for several hours. the places along the way where you can stop will be few and far between so make sure you bring an adequate supply of bottled water (adequate depends on how quickly you get thirsty).
this area of tibet is very dry (you'll even see sand dunes along the way) so better to have bottled water to drink as your 4x4 negotiates the seemingly endless hiway.
bring snacks to munch on as well.

Helpfulness
Miscellaneous: bring a watch with an altimeter (i had a suunto xlander).
if you're going to tibet, you'll be encountering elevations you're likely never to encounter again - personal altitude records is what i mean. might as well record it, right?
also, better to be aware of the elevations you reach so that you can better "hike high, sleep low" - the general rule in traveling at high altitude so as to avoid acute mountain sickness (AMS). being aware is key if you're going to stay healthy up here.

Gyangze, what will it look like when finished?
We reached Gyangze after a long day in the bus from Lhasa. The normal road was blocked, because of a landslide. This is normal in the rainy season, but it meant a long detour for us. When the bus...
Check it out! One of the best places in Tibet!
This is my favorite temple in Tibet, perhaps in all of China! It has a unique shape, almost like a pyramid, plus there's those eyes that stare at you from north, south, east, and west. You must try...
It takes a full day to get to Gyantse from Lhasa, including lunch and photo stops, but there's no hurry and the scenery is fantastic so enjoy it! The drive rakes you over a few high passes on the......
