Question
hi.im planning to drive from bangalore to mount everest base camp ie till there is a motorable rd..i need to knw do indians require a visa for tibet and is there any spl documentation neded to get to base camp and also do we apply for the visa in india or on arrival/border...also needed  to knw if u knw the route to base camp there is 1 road from katmandu to lahasa..is there any route in nepal itself

Answer
Hi Sameer,

You need to apply for a Chinese Visa if you want to visit Tibet. However, I believe that the Everest Base Camp trail passes entirely thru Nepal. You cannot apply for a visa on arrival at the Tibet border and you need to have your visa done in advance. Regarding routes to the Everest Base Camp, I suggest you get in touch with Automobile Association of India (South) in Chennai and find out all the formalities from them about driving an Indian registered car across the border to Nepal. Here's their website -

There is a road from Kathmandu to Lhasa but you will need a powerful four wheel drive if you want to negotiate that road.

Hope this helps.

Nilesh.
