There, you will recieve a note that tells you when to come to buy the ticket in the next day (one person can register few people, as long as he has their passports). The ticket office for registering the visit opens at 17:00, expect to wait one or two hours at the queue. The next day, you can come at the hour you recieved and buy the ticket (we came one hour sooner, and it was OK). Tali & Omer Gottlieb, Israel (Aug 05) Finding budget accomodation in Lhasa has become a real problem during the summer peak season, since very high numbers of Chinese students are then visiting Tibet; some places are consistently fully booked as of the early afternoon, so that you have to try your luck at around 8 or 9am, when other people are checking out.
