Ngari is not "remote" anymore
In the past, “remote”may be the first word coming to people’s mind when mentioning going to Ngari of Tibet. However, it only takes two hours now to go there by plane from Lhasa, the region’s capital. The Ngari Kunsha Airport was put into operation in July 1, 2010, which is an key air route for going in and out of Tibet. On May 8, flight TV9807 of Tibet Airlines took off from Gonggar Airport in Lhasa, capital of southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region at 7:30 and arrived at the Ngari Kunsha Airport at 9:30 after two hours’ flight.
