Tibet has been reopened to foreign tourists well that is the current statement by Chinese state media. 25th June 2008. We are unaware if overland companies will risk traveling through Tibet until after the Olympics. Please contact your tour operator for details.
It appears there are still problems with visas to go to Tibet.

keadventure report that very limited visas have been issued and none to anyone entering from Nepal. `”Presently it looks unlikely that the Chinese will issue Tibet visas from Kathmandu until after the Para-Olympics finish in late September. Sadly, we have no alternative but to cancel all our autumn trips to Tibet but plan to run all our trips in Spring 09.”
