These tour operators operate various tours of Tibet, often including China or Nepal or both, to the destination mix.
Tibet is not an easy holiday to arrange or manage, with visas and travel permits being a major pain, transport somethimes erratic [e.g. what's the best way to get there? Train? Plane? Jeep from Nepal?] and conditions occasionally gruelling so travelling with a tour operator for this trip - even if you are a confirmed individual travel freak - makes sense.
Whatever, check out what the professionals have to say before making any decisions you may regret!
