Ticket is about 100 Yuan per capita and in wintertime it maybe much cheaper.

Transportation: Because Basongtso is near to No. 318 National Expressway and only 50 kilometers to Gongbo’gyamda County (工布江达县城, Gong Bu Jiang Da Xian Cheng), so that traffic is not as difficult as in the past. Generally, you may take a coach from Lhasa or Bayi Town. You get off in Bahe Qiao (巴河桥) and will see the ticket kiosk for Basongtso Scenic Area. However, to see the beautiful lake you still have a 40 kilometers coach ride ahead.

You can also take a jeep as far as the scenic lake for a 400-Yuan return trip that starts from Bayi Town. It costs a hundred more if you would like to stay by the side of lake overnight.

Food and accommodation: Holiday resort in Basongtso might satisfy your basic requirement for food during your Tibet tour, but it is quite expensive. It is better to bring some bread and biscuits yourself. However, due to the nearness to abundant fresh water resources in forest and mountainside, the bottled water is clean, natural and available free! The holiday resort provides about 70 hostel bed spaces for travelers, price from 30 to 120 Yuan.

However, the best method to enjoy the great scenery is to camp by the side of Basongtso. You can listen to the gentle sound of water flowing, see the sunrise and play with squirrels there.
