Here are some great news for every independent traveller from LP:

Independent travel in Tibet will be revolutionized if an agreement between Nepal's and China's governments to link Kathmandu to Lhasa by public bus from 1 May 2005 goes according to plan

If this is correct a dream would come true!

I told you several months ago;)

The first international direct bus linking Lhasa and Katmandu are available from April 29. According to agreements, the direct bus launches eight-time round trip per month. The ticket is priced at 70 US dollars. Outbound Chinese passengers could buy tickets straight after going through passport and visa procedures while overseas passengers could buy tickets via tourist agencies. The bus is scheduled to be on voyage at nine am. every Tuesday and Friday. Multi-language speaking conductors will render top quality service at journey, and passengers can have access to first aid service, beverage and souvenirs, said director of the contracted Himalaya Passenger Transport Co., Ltd.
