[quote=INTIRHABI,326456]Hello, I am interested in flying into either Chongqing or Chengdu from the US, then taking the Qingzang railway into Lhasa. From Lhasa I'd like to take a bus into Nepal and continue my travels there. But I have a few questions that I need help with:

1) Is there a regular bus service from Lhasa to Kathmandu? I've read reports that a $70 service began in 2008, but I can't seem to get concrete information.

2) To get a visa into China, I must show proof that I will be flying out - but the problem is, I'm not flying out I'm exiting by bus. How do I get around this?

3) I've read that the only way for foreigners to get a special permit into Tibet is to have concrete proof of exit. Does this mean I have to book an expensive tour with a tour company that does the Lhasa-Kathmandu OR can I enter and then purchase a ticket of the cheapest bus service we can find?

4) Has anyone done this trip (Lhasa to Nepal)? I will be travelling in a party of 2, we speak English, Mandrin and Hindi and we are relatively young. Any advice would be awesome.

Thanks.[/quote]
