Between April and November, there are 2 flights that operate every week between Kathmandu and Lhasa. In the month of July, there are additional flights. Flight time is one hour. Group tours are available and in most of the cases Nepal Tibet tour is organized by a tour operator. So, the travel agents take care of the visa and air ticket.
