Re: katmandu-Lasha

Forget it with a bike from Kathmandu to Lhasa, too much uphill in too short time up to 5500m. Maybe it will go the other way round, I would do so last October, but the agency in Kathmandu didn`t found enough people to take part. When you want to do it organized it is the cheapest way to book in Kathmandu. But in the moment the civil war is going on there and I think it is not save in the moment. The German ministery of foreign affair writes: "May be you are at the wrong time in the wrong place" when a bomb explodes in Kathmandu. The people are realy friendly, I changed my programm in October in did a trekking tour to Mount Everst basecamp. I can tell you, arriving at 3000m high you are walking like a snail and I would not imagine how it is to cycle over the pass at 5000m, I think all people having done that were not honest in their description.
