Hi,

I'm planning to travel across Tibet in a week from the 21st/22nd of december and I'm looking for people to make a group. I was thinking a couple of days in Lhassa then moving to the nepalese border, stoping and visiting along the way. On the website of the Mix Hostel in Chengdu I found that itinerary that would be ok for me, but I'm open to suggestions.

Day1: Arrive in Lhasa
Day2: Visit Potala Palace, Jokhang temple, wandering around Barkor Street.
Day3: Visit Norblingka and Sera temple.
Day4: Visit Yamdrok lake, Kumpum stupa in Gyantse, Tashilunpo monastery in Shigatse. Stay in Shigatse.
Day5: Early morning start driving to Rogbuk monastery via Shegar. Stay at Everest Base Camp.
Day6: E.B.C to Zhangmu (Nepal border)
Day7: Leave China.

Emmanuel.

I think traveling from mainland China will give you more flexibility and is usually cheaper than traveling from Nepal.

Hi Emmanuel, just sent you an email, but a quick note here as well.
Any chance you can travel at a later date? I'm also traveling Tibet - Nepal, but at a later date.
I'm currently in Korea, and will get to Shanghai on the 20th.

Lemme know if you or anyone else is available to travel later.

We are looking for someone to come with us to Lhasa and kathmandu on an all inclusive tour for 650 dolls a person. We're probably leaving the 27th of December. We need one or two more people.
