Here are some important information about 4 days Lhasa Tour.
Tibet is an all-year destination that offers you kinds of experience at different times you go. Sat up on the world’s highest and largest plateau, Tibet is dry much of the year round as the mountains catch most of the rainfall. It can get very cold and dry though, especially during winter (November – March). May – October is considered the best time to visit Tibet, when the weather is warmer (above 10°C) and the ice has melted, unblocking roads out of the cities. September – October is the ideal time to trek, and rich autumnal colors make for fantastic photos – if you want to get a clear, cloud-free view of Mount Everest, travel then, or during April and May.
Following are the entry requirements for Bhutan:
A passport with six months valid period

Traveling to Lhasa can really be done at any time of the year. While it does lie on the high Tibetan plateau, the highest plateau in the world, the Tibetan capital city lies at an elevation of just 3,656 meters, which makes it lower than the elevation of much of western and northern Tibet.
When to travel to Lhasa really depends on when you are free to travel and what your requirements are whilst in the region. Different seasons in Lhasa are better for certain activities than others, and the weather is usually a big deciding factor in when to travel to the plateau region.
From May to October is the best time for sightseeing in Tibet, when the weather is not very cold, averaging above 10°C (50°F). This is naturally the busiest travel time in Tibet when people come for the warmer weather and higher oxygen content.
July and August are the rainy seasons in Tibet, though, apart from in the southeast, there is still not a lot of rain.
Particularly, the best time to trek in Tibet is from April to May and September to October. It is a bit too cold for mountain hiking since the roads may be closed due to snowfall. But if you just trek around Lhasa city or Shigatse, such as Ganden Monastery Trekking, then winter is fine.
May to October are all good months for a motorcycle tour within Tibet, especially in Lhasa and surrounding areas. Please remember to take a rain jacket with you for a Tibet cycling tour in July and August.
If you plan to take a long-distance cycling tour to Tibet, such as Lhasa to Kathmandu or Kathmandu to Lhasa cycling tour, the best time to go would be May, June, late September, and early October.
A “yatra” is a pilgrimage to a sacred place and a “kora” is a religious walk around a sacred site.
The best time for a Mount Kailash yatra and kora is in summer (June to August). This is due to the warmer temperature and higher oxygen content.
If you are going to do a kora around Lake Manasarovar, autumn (September to November) is the best time as there is warmer weather and less chance of rainfall.
As the center of Tibetan Buddhism, Lhasa is featured in its ancient Buddhist temples and monasteries and other buildings. The incredible Potala Palace attracts thousands of people to visit every day.

Near to Lhasa city, it is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world-Namtso Lake. Never worry about finding no places to explore in Lhasa, and take one of our Lhasa tours to get these all highlights.
Tibet is one of the most popular locations in South Asia for modern tourism, and despite having to be on an organized tour of the region, hundreds of thousands of travelers from around the world make the journey up to the high plateau every year. And those numbers are constantly increasing. One of the most beautiful places in the world, Tibet is a land of high mountains, crystal-clear lakes, ancient monasteries with devout Buddhist monks, and one of the most unique cultures on the planet.
Throughout your time in Tibet you will be accompanied by an experienced Tibetan guide who will not only act as an interpreter but will also provide valuable insights into the Tibetan way of life.
Many Tibetan guides have different accent of English speaking capacity due to their mother tongue and Tibetan language, which makes hard to understand while in the conversation with them. Hence, our travelers must consider these facts before you book for any trip to Tibet.
