Hi
Hoping to be in Lhasa 2nd, 3rd or 4th week august. Preferably last of these. Any other cyclists out there to make up a group for Lhasa to Katmandu ? If so let me know your dates on hooogerbooger@googlemail.com
(FOR INFO: to add to the TTB issue Hong Kong visa office are telling me I may only get 30 day Visa. Anyone know what sort of Visa extension is likely in Cheng Du ? or anywhere else Sichuan way ?

Word on here is that it's easier to get a visa extension in Emei Shan (an hour or so outside Chengdu by bus) than it is in Chengdu itself.

So where are you now? If you're still in Hong Kong, don't go through this TTB office in Hong Kong, just get your normal China visa at the JTA http://www.jta.biz/chinavisa/china_visa.htm</a>, pay only HK$450 for a 6-month visa, then arrange a tour or whatever in Chengdu or Xinning to Lhasa.

Thanks for response here and on yer bike.
got my email wrong it's hoogerbooger&googlemail.com should there be any one looking for a cycling budy.
Am in HK and the have contacted two agents that have been provided as a result to my posts who say 6 month is possible. However as my visa application is already in with the PRC visa agency I may still be scuppered as neither agency were so sure I could get a long visa is I discharged the first by a quick trip to the main land. So may well be Emei shan for me.
So listen and learn anyone else, sounds best to go via an agent with a track record.
