   There are two roads.
   No public transport.
   Not open for foreigners.
   Not possible to get permit like individual.
   Possible to go with a tour for some 100 to 150 USD a day.
   Other possibility is to fly from Chengdu to Lhasa (permit
   will be issued to you via travel agent toogether with plane
   ticket) or by bus from Golmud.

   The road through Sichuan to Tibet was (according to contacts
   in Chengdu) opened earlier this year to foreigners. Of
   course, not everyone along the way will know this, and the
   public bus from Chengdu to Lhasa always went via Golmud
   (reflecting the state of the road, not permits or anything).
   But anything's possible in China.

   The road is open - but not to foreigners!
