1. Tibet to Lhasa: Yes Added by: Andy (ishtarlee@aol.com)

   It has generally been possible to travel overland from
   Tibet to Nepal. Back in the end of 1997 I did it. I have
   not heard that this route has been closed. However, the
   Chinese Government has a tendency to close travel routes
   without much notice.
   In Lhasa, you can inquire into hiring a vehicle to take
   you to the border, or you can take a bus there, which is
   cheaper. Back when I was in Lhasa, a private bus went once
   or twice a week, leaving from the Banok Shal hotel. You
   could inquire about the bus at the restaurant at the Banok
   Shal.
