Travel is possible at all times of year, but from April to October is the best season for trekking in Tibet. Trekkers may think that it is best to avoid the rainy season to trek in Tibet. Actually, rain is not a problem for trekking in Tibet as it is in the rain shadow zone due to the high Himalayas. Rather rainy season is the best time to trek, as the weather is mild and the ground in mountain valleys turns green and alpine flowers bloom in profusion. Generally, time without snow is the best time for trekking in Tibet. During the snowfall, not only the mountains are inaccessible, but also the highways that take you to the trailheads are blocked.
Trekking on the roof of the world is a great experience you cannot get in any other place. The Tibetan plateau possesses a uniquely beautiful landscape. Only by trekking, you can find the hidden surprises on the Tibet plateau. Your Tibet trekking tour is enhanced by frequent encounters with nomads, yak and sheep herds, and visits to ancient villages and beautiful monasteries, not to mention the spectacular mountains and serene lakes of Tibet.
