If you're planning to go to Tibet from KTM in the winter I don't think you will have any luck. Flights and road routes open in April and finish again sometime around October. We were looking at going to Tibet in March and discovered that it is basically impossible although you can do a circuitous flight to Lhasa.

: Currently planning Langtang and AC in Nov/Dec/Jan. By the look of the yetizone "meeting place", it appears as if I'll be the only person on the AC in December. I've been to the region 3 times already but I'm somewhat diffident about walking unaccompanied when there's been a bit of a breakdown in law and order.
: Anyone have any info on walking in Yunnan/Tibet. Specifically, Mt. Kawakarpo region, Yuben Valley and Meili Mountains?
: Also, can one pick up a visa for China in Ktm? Is it possible to cross the Nepal-China border as a lone traveller? How would one get to Meili Mtns from there?
: Any other information would be appreciated
