When to visit Tibet

Between December and March the weather in Tibet is extremely cold and snow is a constant.

From May to October is the best time to visit Tibet, when the weather isn’t too cold – averaging 11°C. This period, of course, coincides with the high season.

July and August are the rainy months in Tibet, although apart from in the south-east there is little rainfall. The best months for camping are May and September, when the rain is almost non-existent.

One of Tibet's most recognisable historical structures is the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Built as a fortress and residence for the Dalai Lama, it was the centre of political and religious power for centuries.

The palace consists of two sections: the Red Palace, built in the 17th century, is the sacred sanctuary dedicated to religious study and Buddhist prayer. The White Palace is the secular section containing offices and dormitories.

The Potala Palace symbolises Tibetan Buddhism and its central role in the traditional administration of Tibet. With more than 1,000 rooms, it contained the Dalai Lama's lodgings.

It remained the residence of the Dalai Lama until the 14th Dalai Lama fled to India after the Chinese invasion in 1959. The palace also contains rare artifacts, such as handwritten Buddhist manuscripts and gifts from Chinese emperors.

When traveling from Tibet to Nepal, the most well-known stretch is along the Lalung La.

This place is famous for its incredible views of the Himalayas and Everest, and then its steep descent along narrow, winding roads through mountains, forests and gorges.

Located at 8,848 meters above sea level, on the border between Tibet and Nepal, Everest is the highest mountain in the world.

Many travel just to see the panoramic views, but others go to Everest with a sense of achievement, of climbing to the top of the mountain and touching the sky with their feet on the ground.

A large number of travelers end up trekking to Everest Base Camp, but through Nepal.
