00ReplyIt is a bit challenging to hike to Mt. Everest. You need to have a certain level of physical fitness and rich hiking experience. As Everest is at a high altitude, it is best to consult a doctor's professional advice before hiking and make adequate preparations. As I know, foreigners who travel to Tibet need find a guide and a travel agency to handle your Tibet Travel Permit.

40ReplyThat is really a long and hard journey from Liuku to Lhasa. There is total 1500 kilometers and the road condition is not very good. I only heard some one driving car through this route. By the way, you need to contact a travel agent to help you get the Tibet Travel Permit.
