Introducing Kodari

Nepal's border town with Tibet (China), Kodari is little more than a collection of shabby wooden shanties and a snaking line of squealing Tata trucks, ferrying Chinese goods down into the subcontinent.

It is possible to walk past the Nepali checkpoint and stop in the middle of the Friendship Bridge to pose for photos on the red line drawn across the road. From here on is Tibet, which right here looks just like Nepal. The Chinese border post is 8km uphill at Khasa (Zhangmu). A Chinese visa and Tibetan travel permit is needed to progress further than this.
