The Roof of the World, Asia’s Water Tower, and the planet’s Third Pole, feeding almost all of India and China’s rivers that stream thousands of miles to their respective seas, feeding, nurturing and providing livelihood to millions, that is just one of the humbling attributes of this paradise in the skies. Just to be in Tibet and breathe that rarefied air of gentlest of gentle Buddhism will rejuvenate you. Visit the tear-inducingly beautiful Lake Mansarovar, with all its myth and mystery (and also the world’s highest fresh water body) and Mount Kailash, solitary, majestic, home of the mighty Shiva, and you will understand why they are South Asia’s holiest sites, for Hindu and Buddhist alike. All the delicate beauty and elegiac frailty of an endangered country are represented here, and everyone human on the planet must, at some point, see it before it goes away. Line up.
Peak Season Description:
The rainy season is over and autumn colors begin to flood the landscape. Days are long, sunny and crisp. October sees maximum tourism, so plan in advance.
Shoulder Season Description:
April is when Tibet slowly comes out of its winter, heralding the start of tourism. Expect clear skies and great views of wintery landscapes, with snow-capped mountains and thawing lakes. Temperatures continue to rise through May. June to August is the wet season, which may mean cloudy days and impaired views on mountain treks, but the countryside is lush and green, still attracting tourists.
Low Season Description:
Winter sets in and the landscape freezes over. Hard-core trekkers will still use this time to avail of rock-bottom rates. Many mountain passes may be closed. January is the windiest months. The Tibetan New Year is celebrated in February, which is a 15-day celebration, but in the past the Chinese Government has often refused visas during this period. The thaw starts only early-April onwards.
