1. Best time visit:
Best time to travel is in summer and autumn - from March to October. Overland journey is best from early May to middle of October. The snow condition in high Himalayan pass in winter and flight schedule that normally stops at the end of October and starts in the end of March most tour to Tibet are conducted during this period. However you should note that during monsoon season (July to August) heavy rain during that time can often disrupt the road to Kodari border. |

2. Safety Situation:
Normally travel to Tibet is safe. Since Tibetans are still fighting for their independent homeland so from time to time Chinese authorities maintain strict rules for travel. See our latest E-Newsletter or email us for update. |
