Best Time to Visit Lhasa

When is the best time to visit Lhasa?

Summer and autumn are the best time to travel to Lhasa. At that time, the climate here is warm and humid, not so dry and windy during winter and spring.  Lhasa has a good reputation of “sunlight city” with a long duration of sunshine all year round. If you go to Lhasa in summer and fall, you can visit Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple as well as Drepung Monastery at daytime and feel the strong and mysterious religion atmosphere. During the nighttime, you may kill time in the Tibetan style bars and experience the unique Tibetan flavor. In the event that you arrive at Lhasa just during the Shoton Festival, and then not only can you appreciate the wonderful Tibetan Opera, but also have an opportunity to watch the splendid Buddha scene. As in winter and spring, you can enjoy the discount off the normal admission price in Lhasa. Moreover, it is the best time to experience the plateau thermal spring and try to clime the snow mountain.
