Renowned for its picturesque natural scenery, southeastern Tibet, especially Nyingchi Region, is fascinating throughout the whole year. Roads there are also in good condition, so tourists can list it in their itinerary at any time.
Visit Northern Tibet in May to July and September to October
In northern Tibet such as Nagqu, the wind is too strong in spring. Roads are too likely to be blocked by landslides in summer and are too treacherous in winter owing to the heavy snowfall. So May to July and September to October are best seasons to visit the northern Tibet. It is also the reason why we should avoid summer and winter to travel in the border area in the south.
