Kailash and if they are organized during winter as well? I didn't plan to go the initaially but this Sunday I saw amazing documentary on ABC called 'Wild China', and Mt. Kailash just blew my mind...

Kailash is accesible over winter, so if I can find some organized group trips to go there in December... so any information on this would be very much appreciated:))))

Kailash (let's say I'll make a pilgrimage with 50km trekking around) and re-visit Nepal and north parts of India some other time... and for this trip I should only focus on Lhasa... and Mt. Everest Base Camp maybe:) Thanks a lot Ellyse!

Hi,

As my learn, seems there's a kind of government approval letter for foreigners to entry Tibet, no any update news published from Olympic Games ending.

Anyway, I will try to contact my friend living in Tibet to find it out, pls keep paying attention here for my reply.

I have been to Tibet for 12 days 2 years ago, so if you need any informaiton about the routing or any other, you can email me:

gmail.com|echo.zh, or MSN:
hotmail.com|echo0000

I am a Beijing native person, perhaps give you some suggestion when you come to BJ too.
