I want to travel to Tibet, but I don’t know the best month to go. This article will tell you
With the popularity of short videos in recent years, Tibet has become the white moonlight in the hearts of many people. It is always in their hearts, but it is far away and out of reach. Many of my friends have said that if you have time, you must go to Tibet. But when is the best time to go to Tibet? Let me use my experience of visiting Tibet three times to analyze it for you.
January to March at the beginning of the year is the off-season for tourism. On the one hand, due to the influence of the climate, more people go to Sanya, Hainan. On the other hand, it is necessary to make summary plans at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, plus visiting relatives during the New Year. When friends and families reunite, many people don’t have time to travel. Therefore, Tibet travel is also off-season at this time. Also due to the high altitude of Tibet, some attractions will be closed. Therefore, in the off-season, there are fewer people entering Tibet, the price is very cost-effective, and it does not seem crowded. If you have travel plans during this period, you can choose to do so, but because it is cold in winter, it is recommended to bring more warm clothes.
From March to April, as the weather gets warmer, more and more people travel. In early April, the peach blossoms in Linzhi are in full bloom. Many people choose to go there at this time to enjoy the Hundred-acre Peach Grove. After all, the flower blooming season does not occur all year round. At this time, some attractions that were closed in the first two months will also be open. If you see the peach blossoms, go to other attractions. No delay, but you won’t be able to see peach blossoms at other times. The first time I visited Tibet was in winter, and I regretted not seeing it. The second time I went to Tibet specifically in April, thinking that I must see the peach blossoms in full bloom, but I didn't expect that it was a step too late, just a little bit late, so I decided to go to Tibet for the third time.
After April is the May Day holiday for people across the country. At this time, the climate is already very comfortable. But you must bring warm clothes. Although there is no snow in the plain areas, it still snows in Tibetan areas from time to time. Just like Namtso, in May, there will be closures due to heavy snow. If Namtso is on your itinerary, you must check the weather before traveling. If you come all the way, don’t miss anything. Feeling sorry.
Starting in June, more people choose to go to Tibet, because the beginning of June is accompanied by the college entrance examination, and there are tens of millions of candidates every year. Tibet is also a place where many people choose to relax after the college entrance examination. The temperature during the day at this time is 22-25 degrees. You only need to wear single clothes during the day. When traveling at this time, the weather is neither cold nor hot. You don’t need to wear too much and look bulky. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery with ease. But at the same time, the price of accommodation and tickets at attractions will increase during this time, and the cost of traveling at this time will be higher than in previous months.
The summer vacation begins in July-August, which is also the most popular time of the year for the tourism industry. Students are on vacation, and many parents also choose to take annual leave to spend time with their children during this time. If you choose to enter Tibet at this time, it is necessary to make strategies and plans in advance. Travel methods, hotel stays, etc. need to be booked in advance. Otherwise, it is very likely that you will take leave but cannot buy tickets and delay your trip. Going to Tibet at this time is also the most expensive time of the year. However, entering Tibet at this time is the most comfortable because of the rising temperature and increased oxygen content, which greatly reduces the probability of high altitude sickness.
Starting from September, as students have started school and office workers have entered the sprint period for performance in the second half of the year, the number of people choosing to travel has dropped significantly at this time. At the same time, air tickets, hotels, group fees, etc. will also decrease. If you happen to have time at this time, then I suggest you go to Tibet at this time. It will not be crowded or cold. The climate is comfortable, the cost is more convenient and more expensive. Good deal. You can also see the autumn scenery of Ngari area.
Because there is a seven-day National Day holiday in October, there is a peak travel season at this time, and there are also a lot of people entering Tibet. Especially tickets for September 30th and October 7th are very difficult to buy. If you happen to buy the tickets you like, you are the lucky one.
From November to December, just like the beginning of the year, it begins to enter the off-season. On the one hand, the climate impact of winter is on the one hand. At the end of the year, there is a need to offset performance, and children also have to prepare for final exams. Office workers have various end-of-year concerns. Reports and annual meeting programs are very busy. Naturally, fewer people traveled. At this time, the climate in high-altitude Tibetan areas is cold and the body feels uncomfortable. I grew up in the north, so it’s okay. If you are from the south, I really don’t recommend entering Tibet at this time, because I’m afraid you won’t be able to adapt.
To sum up, I think that if it is your first time to visit Tibet, it is recommended to go from April to June or September. It is very cost-effective in all aspects and the scenery is beautiful. But if this is not your first time in Tibet, you can choose any month according to your own situation, because most people are like me and want to see more different scenery.
