More Tibet Tours
Both Buddhism and Hinduism are prevailing in Nepal. And as a scrupulous religion-oriented people, they are apt to carry out the rituals at all times everywhere. As a matter of fact, the religion transforms itself for people as well as restrains people's behavior. Traveling from Nepal to Tibet and then to the mainland China, you may see two or more forms of Buddhism flaming in their own style and every one of them will just convulse you with deep thought of life. Staying in the local best 1 star to 4 star hotels in Tibet and enjoy the friendly people and special atmosphere will be a lifelong memory.

Several problems with this routing. First, any Chinese visa will be cancelled in Nepal and you will have to purchase a new group entry visa for China. These are limited to 21 or 28 days. If you are lucky and insist you might get a group visa for one, just for you but there are no guarantees. Next, this visa is NOT renewable in Tibet so depending upon how long you were planning to travel in Tibet, you might have problems. And finally, getting this particular type of visa changed to an individual tourist visa which can then be extended is NOT guaranteed and many people who try at the first town or city outside of Tibet are rejected and only get 10 days extension, enough time to reach the nearest border out of China.
our visa, the new visa only covers the period of our tour in China, we have to apply for a new multi-visa when back to Hongkong.
If you also interested in the tour from Katmandu to Lhasa, I suggest you take tour with a reversed way, that is, go from Lhasa to Katmandu, then, there will be no problem on visa issue. Or, you just do not need to apply for a China Visa, you can apply for that from Katmandu.
