Overland Tour to Tibet
For those who want to opt for overland journey from Kathmandu via Friendship Highway, we suggest to take a 4 wheel-drive which is considered the easiest route. Other routes like Sichuan (Chengdu), Yunnan (Kunming), Qinghai (Xining) and Xinjiang (Yecheng), are very difficult and we do not recommend these routes for the Lhasa bound travelers.
But please note if you are entering Tibet from Nepal, you must get your Chinese Visa in Kathmandu. The Chinese visa can be obtained only from 9:30AM-11:00AM every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
