Hi3
Not sure what permit you you mean, Is it the Alien Permit that is needed to go to western tibet? Is it not possible to get one from other than the travel agencies? Do you know where i can get that? And what does it mean to travel without that?4
It is the Alien permit you need. As far as I know the only place where you cab get it without involving a travelagency is in Ali.6
I cycled Kashgar to Lhasa this summer. I met a few people trying to hitch back from Kailash - it seems to be possible but takes a lot of time as very few trucks go that way. All the waiting around means it takes about the same amount of time as cycling, so I doubt you'be be able to get there and back in 17 days.Posted By: VenessaP -- 28-Jan-2010 15:01
