Check and see about Visa regulations. Unfortunately, there's been a lot of postings and talk about the new visa regulations into Tibet. They require groups of no less than either 5 or 6 people of same nationality under one permit. That is to say, you wouldn't be able to join a group tour from Oz or China or wherever unless it was a group of Americans. The days of simply traveling to Tibet are over...for now. Homer

Word is now Tibet is closed to all foreigners. Some reports have it lasting until the end of July others say September. nytimes.com/2012/06/07/world... news.yahoo.com/china-closes-... tibetoday.com/China-closes-T... They all seem to say the same thing. Unfortunate.
