When to go

tibet-when-to-go

Generally, it is best to visit Tibet from May to July, and September to October.

Lhasa, Tsetang and Shigatse are suitable for tourism throughout the year. It is not recommended to visit the Everest Base Camp area in winter – October to next April. During the winter, roads might be blocked by heavy snow in east Tibet and Ngari. Frequent rainfalls in August make road travel more difficult.
