When Is The Best Time To Visit Tibet

Introduction on Best Time To visit Tibet

When is the best time to travel to Tibet? The majority of travelers commonly have this question in mind. The Tibet Nature Tour had been researching this topic for over ten years. Therefore, the best time to visit Tibet varies entirely on how you schedule your trip.
Being a Tibetan living in Tibet, I can assure you that each of these seasons will provide you with a distinctive travel experience to Tibet. Every season does have both advantages and disadvantages.

April, May, June, September & October

When traveling in Tibet, the months of April, May, June, September, and October will provide you with a clear sky and mild weather. There won’t be as many travelers, and on top of that, you’ll enjoy a stunning panoramic view of Mount Everest and the Himalayan Ranges.

The disadvantage will be that it will be a little bit cooler and windier at that time. So, to counter such disadvantages, you will need to prepare warmer clothing, a pair of sunglasses, and lotion.

July & August

Many of the Tibetan Festivals are often held in the summer months of July and August, even though these are warm and wet seasons in Tibet. As a result, there will be more travelers. Also, there will be more moisture and oxygen in the air you breathe, both of which will make it easier for you to adjust to the altitude.

The disadvantage is that you might not be able to view Mount Everest because of summer clouds that could overshadow the majestic mountain.

November, December, January, February & March

Countless Tibet lovers want to travel to Tibet from November to March, but they are also concerned about the icy weather they have read about. It is accurate in some regions of Tibet, particularly in the north and west. So, we recommend focusing your trip planning on the central or southern regions of Tibet.

However, it is easy to arrange tours from Lhasa to Mt. Everest and China – Nepal border. The primary reason is that these locations will be blanketed with snow, although most of the time the road will be cleared because of Tibet’s high altitude, strong winds, and road workers. Your overland trip to Mt. Everest or the China-Nepal border (Kyirong) will be comfortable.

Traveling in the winter has these benefits:

A decrease in the number of tourists visiting Tibet will result in lower trip costs.
Wherever you are, you may relax and enjoy your time.
More local Tibetans from various regions of the Tibetan plateau will be seen. Notably in Lhasa, where they will be making pilgrimages. As a result, you will have more opportunities to experience Tibetan culture in its purest form.
You can play with snow.

Conclusion

When is the best time to visit Tibet? This question really depends on travelers’ schedules for their travels to Tibet.

The most pleasant travel seasons to Tibet are considered to be from April to October. The main reason is that the temperature had climbed to above 15 degrees Celsius throughout the whole Tibetan plateau. Most of Tibet’s regions will experience warmer temperatures, which will contribute to increased moisture and oxygen levels, making it more pleasant for visitors to Tibet.

REVIEW

There are various traditions and myths about the founding of Tibet. The mountains are magnificent. Although I was in Tibet for about two weeks with my team, it wasn't long enough. We need more time and days to explore this magnificent place. There, I had some wonderful, enduring days. We traveled to Lhasa, Everest Base Camp, and completed Kailash Gora. Excellent rooms and accommodations, as well as really scrumptious and nutritious meals. Our driver, Tsering, as well as our guide Tashi, are both extremely skilled and competent. At all times, we felt secure. Ideally, I would return to Tibet.
