Most Asked Questions about Lhasa to Kathmandu Tour

What is the best time for Lhasa to Kathmandu journey?

Answer: April to mid-June and Sept. to Nov are the best time for Lhasa to Kathmandu overland tour, regarding the Himalayan vista. If you happen to only have a holiday in summer like June and Aug., chances are that the Mt. Everest may be hidden by the dense clouds. If you are a lucky dog, you still have a window of opportunity to see it. While the landslide and downpour close Kyirong border on both sides can make winding mountain roads more treacherous. Please be extremely careful about the drive. If you travel on a budget, winter season from Nov to early Feb can be a good option since it saves you lots of money and you may enjoy least-crowded attractions.

Can you get Nepali Visa in Lhasa?

Answer: Yes, you can get a Nepali visa in Nepal Consulate General in Lhasa. However, there is no point to waste your time to do so, since you can easily apply for Nepali Visa On Arrival(25 USD/person) at the Kyirong border as you leave Tibet to Nepal.
