Apart from trolling aside....I feel that if you will go by the cost of the transportation....China has the best bet by bring its oil through Gwadar...But if they would like to bring oil to Tibet then oil delivered in port of Gujurat of India and carried to Tibet is the cheapest of all to China...
Would You Believe That Your Own Fellow Countrymen Are Dreaming Of An Chinese Trade and Energy Corridor Of Their Own
Exploding Terrorism in Pakistan & Future Gwadar-Kashgar Industrial Corridor
Why not a Corridor from an Indian port via Kashmir
Below is a very well researched article by William Engdahl on the upsurge of terrorism in Pakistan and its further explosions , and Islamabad's massive project with Beijing for an industrial corridor from the Baluchistan port of Gwadar to Kashgar in Xinjiang .Obviously Washington will try to sabotage it , by promoting separatism and if possible by detaching Baluchistan from Pakistan, since the former province has been brutally treated by all ruling regimes in Islamabad ( somewhat like detaching Montenegro from Serbia to divide and destroy Russian influence in the Balkans)
I have also been of the view that no peace is likely to come in Pak Afghan region, with terror spillovers into the countries of the region including India .
May that as it may be, I am proposing that since Gwadar –Kashgar corridor will be opposed by US, perhaps, even Russia and others and unlikely to fructify with growing terrorism, India could at least consider possibilities of a project to offer China another option, from a Saurashtra port in India via Rajasthan, etc and J and K's Ladakh region. It will give a stake to China in India's stability and economic growth .This will be a win-win situation for both India and China .Beijing is flush with funds in trillions and is even planning a canal in Nicaragua parallel to Panama canal for $ 40 billion .Look at China, Russia and other Central Asian states collaborating on energy and other projects.
China is already building corridors linking it to Bay of Bengal via Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Do not rely on US led bankrupt West for investment in projects in India .They will oppose such a project via India tooth and nail .US will be supported in India by its proxies led by media ignorantis and pimps and Indian diplomats , especially those who were once posted in USA and have been brainwashed on eternal US hegemony . Like Indian PM MM Singh they loved deeply George Bush and now Osama.
With almost the same population, hard working Chinese GDP based on industrial production is almost 3 times India's and the gap is increasing. (When the European traders arrived in the subcontinent, Hindustan's (i.e. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) share in world manufacturing was 24.5 percent (in 1750) and after the British had done with India, the sub-continent's share had fallen to 1.7 percent (It was 32.8% and 6.1% respectively for China) and that of Britain had increased from 1.9 percent (in 1750) to 22.9 percent (in 1880) - [Rise and fall of Big Powers by Professor Paul Kennedy].
China has many internal and external aggravating problems and should be amenable to a border settlement or its freeze .I do not see India succeeding by force. Let the uninformed and ill informed Western pimps and ultranationalists in India shout at the top of their voice .China, Russia and other powers in Asia want stability and peace for economic growth to consolidate the incoming Asian century.
At least give it a thought.

What You must Understand Dear Is That The Closest Of Gujarat's Port Pale In Strategic Importance To The Makran Coast.If The Likes Of Mundra and Dholera Are Strategic Then Gwadar and Pasni Are Ultra Strategic.This Is Because They Are Located At The Gateway of The Strait Of Hormuz Where Half Of The Wolrd's Trade Traffic Passes Through.
But I grant one Thing That The Route Through Gilgit Baltistan Has Got Capacity Constraints.This Means There Might Be A Limit To The Number Of Pipelines and HSR Links That Can Pass Through It.GB Does Have A Sensitive Ecosystem.At Some Point China Might Consider The Above Mentioned Alternative But That Is Conditional To Raising The Level Of Mutual Trust To Pak China Level.
Personally I Don't Mind Indians Envying Pak China Corridor.Even I Envy The Indo Japan DMIC.Also If My Kashmiri Bretheren in IOK Get Some Economic Development and Prosperity As A Result Of This As a Pakistani and Muslim Nothing Could Make Me Happier.
Speaking Of DMIC Why Not Extend The DMIC Upto Tibet and Get The Chinese To Build One Of The Proposed DMIC Seaports at Dighi or Dholera Kya Khyal Hai
