Answer
Hello Anna,

You could take the bi-weekly China South West Airlines flight from Lhasa to Kathmandu and then any number of daily flights from Kathmandu to Delhi.

Or you could travel by road from Lhasa to Kathmandu - check at the Banak Shok hotel in the older part of Lhasa for messages on the notice board requesting groups to join up. This is more adventurous and you also get to see the cities of Xigatse and Gyantse on the way - not to speak of the beautiful scenery. However, mind that it's a 5 day journey and you need to have time for that. Also a valid visa to enter Nepal.

I don't have the website for China Southw West Airlines - you could search the web. For flights from Kathmandu to Delhi check - www.indian-airlines.in or www.jetairways.com or www.airsahara.net.

Hope this information helps and have a great journey.
