1. what is the road like?

4. Any cell phone coverage or do I need a satellite phone? If the latter, which satellite system works there Iridium or Inmarsat?
Any info or links to where I might be able to find this out would be much appreciated!

Hi Charlemagne,
Regarding your planning Urumqi to Lhasa.
You mention road G219
I see it as
G30
G215
G109
How did you come up with the G219 ?
Do you mean to pick up the G219 at Kargilik?
Taking the G3012 then G314 ?
Not easy to gain entry into TAR.
Very much so the Eastern part of TAR, so guessing your ending your trip at Lhasa?
I am keeping a keen eye on your plans.
Which Kazakhstan to China border post do you plan for?
Have you found this site?
