Overland Travel From China Via Nepal To India – Will A Month Be Enough?
I am going on my gap year with a Round The World ticket but I am planning to travel overland as much as I can. I am starting in Beijing and going by train and bus via Kathmandu to Delhi in what seems to me a fairly straight-forward path, taking in sights on the way but also going past less touristy places. Has anyone travelled from China to India and do you think a month is long enough for this journey without rushing things?

In theory, your proposal is not feasible, but there are practical difficulties.
The trip from Lhasa to Kathmandu is very stressful and can not be done at once. You will have several stops in between. Definitely eat much of their time and are still running, without seeing the tourist attractions.
Second most important point is that a foreigner can not travel in Tibet alone. You have to be part of a group and the tour has to be done by a travel agency approved by the Chinese government. That means you can not decide you want to visit places in Tibet, which will decide your travel plan. You can not get rid of the group decide half way and continue with your travel plan to Kathmandu.
The next is whether Tibet is open to foreigners or not? They maintain the restrictions on foreign entry. Now the entry is limited.
Without all these obstacles I would say a month is as well. Most of his time is taken between the trip from Lhasa to Kathmandu, as the roads are not big and its a mountainous region. There are frequent landslides especially in rainy season than the force to stop traffic for several hours at a stretch. Keep in mind.
Oh, I can only envy you that you can travel around the world in what must be an early age.
First, Tibet is now mostly closed to tourists. You can be sure that you can get permission to enter Tibet, and even with the right papers can get around, or not allowed to travel overland on the roads you want to follow.
When you travel you should consider moving just is not an end in itself, you want to know the people and cultures. One can experience the beauty and culture of the Tibetan people in Sichuan province in the west, then descend into Yunnan. I think you would enjoy biking through Yunnan and Laos, stopping en route. Yunnan has beautiful scenery and fascinating people and culture that you must see while you are there, and you can spend a month or two to enjoy before going to Southeast Asia. View Laos and Vietnam and Thailand and Malaysia and Indonesia, all by bicycle.
Tibet Watch, I just returned from India and the passengers heard that not only have become a group that had to be the same nationality at the time. A man could not enter cos he traveled with a lot of German people.
This time with that distance. . . . . . . by land. . . . Hmmmm, he's running out the fate of travel time. I personally would not recommend it. Even a month in India, where there is quite close, you really need to see anything at that time. Why not stick to one country?.
I think a month is enough, but it would be a bit problematic to travel to Nepal from Tibet.
