Travelers occasionally report immigration difficulties with Chinese
authorities when crossing the Nepal-China border over land in either
direction. Chinese authorities often require American and other
foreign tourists to organize "group" tours through established
travel agencies as a pre-requisite for obtaining visas and entry
permits into Tibet. U.S. citizens planning to travel to Tibet from
Nepal may contact the U.S. Embassy in Kathmandu for current information
on the status of the border-crossing points." - US State Dept
