I used a company by the name of Corsa Nepal, and the guy I dealt with called Nakul, he calls himself RNAC on here I think. No problems, got my permit through all as arranged.

The Trekkers Society is a good place to start.

I met 3 foreign tourists, American, Australian and New Zealander. They told me they used an agent named Heian Tours & Travels Ltd in Nepal. http://www.heiantreks.com/ This 3 guys said they paid US$400 / person, including transportation from Kathmandu to Lhasa, accomodation along the route, breakfast (no lunch and dinner included), tour guide, China visa, travel permit. It seems to be one of the cheapest in Nepal. It took them about 6 days to come to Lhasa, they didn't go to the Everest Base Camp.

I think you'd better do some research, I have never used this agency and indeed I haven't ever seen their door.
