landtravelling Kunming - Lhasa - Kathmandu

Hi there,

This is Olaf from Qufu, China.

I want to do the trip by land (mentioned in last LP of China, page 21) from Zhongdian to Lhasa, and afterwards from Lhasa to Kathmandu.

In LP I read that the first trip should be possible by hitch-hiking up to Lhasa, but here in China I hear stories about people getting sent back. I think my only option in both trips is to get an organised trip.

Anybody with current experience who can tell me whats the real deal in Tibett? I reicogn that the LP (with all do respect) is quite incurrent about China, so I dont trust their written stories about travelling into Tibett.

Tnx a bunch for helping me out! Now I will mail khampacaravan.com and shambala.org about my plans.... ;-)

Ganbei!

Olaf
