If you are arriving in Lhasa by plane, many normal people will need 1-2 days to adjust to the altitude I vaguely remember - about 4500m.
If you plan to go Lhasa from within China, and do a gradual acclimitization to the altitude increase, the best highway route to Lhasa is from Qinghai. The other more scenic but definitely more time-consuming route is the meandering mountain roads (only two carriageway - keep right, one side is the valley drop, one side is the rock face) from Szechuan. Traffic jams can be bad along this mountain road when an accident has occurred, or if you encounter the 100 PLA army trucks transporting petroleum oil to Tibet, these proceed only at about 30 km/h.
For rail public transport, there's been ongoing rail construction to connect Lhasa to China's rail network, however, you got to wait like 3-4 more years till it is ready. :-) Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Lhasa area permit by John195123
I don't recommend the use of a certain Mr. Chen at the Camellia Hotel in Kunming. As he took our cash he promised we'd have no problems. He wasn't honest with us. Had he told us there was a chance that the government was going to delay or possibly cancel our trip to Everest Base Camp, we would have gone anyway, knowingly taking the chance. We lost a few days of our trip to the basecamp, but the biggest problem is that he didn't warn us it was a possibility and, in fact, when we asked about any problems, told us to trust him and that he knew what he was doing. Don't trust him (or any of these guys). Know that the PSB in Tibet is pretty, well... problematic. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

If you want to get to Everest Base Camp, you need this permit with all the stamps. If you're a group, you'll have the second page as well. I blanked out our info, but names on the first line and passport numbers on the other. You can't really get out of the Lhasa area without these, especially during what they call, "special times." If you are caught without one of these, you could get in Big Trouble, which isn't good in China. Contact a travel agency before going to China, but remember not to say anything about Tibet when applying for the China visa!
