The Best Time to Visit Tibet

The Best Time to Visit Tibet


The best season for touring in Tibet is from April to early November (various routes have their own golden times). The average temperature ranges from 55-75 degrees Fahrenheit and the skies are fairly clear and blue. From April to the beginning of October is the best time for treks and seeing Mount Kailash and Manasoravar Lake.

February and March – The weather is cold, dry and snowy. The Tibetan New year falls in February and it is considered to be a politically sensitive time. So, Tibet Travel Permits are not issued for at least six weeks.

Although the Tibetan climate is not as harsh as many people imagine, be prepared for sudden drops of temperature at night, particularly in Western Tibet. The best time to visit Mount Everest Base Camp from April to October .

However, in May and June there is a wind factor to consider and dust storms are not unusual. These are not pleasant if you're hitching or trekking but usually come in squalls and can be seen coming. Lhasa and Shigatse experience very mild weather between May and November although July and August can be rainy. During the day a light shirt or jumper and lightweight pants will be suitable, but a warm fleece or down jacket is recommended for evenings.
