Although you do not need a visa to enter China but you still have to get a Tibet Travel Permit which is usually need to be handled through a travel agency. It is a bit farther to fly via Chengdu but I still suggest this. If you go to Kathmandu first, it is more complicated to arrange the permit. It is about 600km from Lhasa to the camp, need to hire van and it takes two days to get there.
