One of the Best Seasons to Travel to Tibet in November and December|||Because I have been very busy, I haven’t updated my articles for a long time. Recently, many friends have asked me whether it’s good to travel to Tibet in winter, so I’ll share my personal views. First, I’ll talk about the disadvantages of traveling to Tibet in this season, and then the advantages. As the weather cools down, the oxygen levels in various parts of Tibet will decrease accordingly, which is a disadvantage of winter travel in Tibet. However, anyone who has read my previous articles or consulted me knows that with a scientific approach to adapting to altitude sickness and proper preparation in advance, this is not a problem. Secondly, because some areas start to snow during this season, certain scenic spots may be inaccessible due to road closures or shutdowns caused by heavy snow, which might prevent you from reaching planned destinations. This is an issue no one can solve, but if you encounter heavy snow, especially for friends from regions where it rarely or never snows, it’s truly a gift of nature that will excite everyone. Just be sure to pay attention to driving safety and have snow chains ready in the car. Driving on snowy roads is safest not just because of snow chains, but mainly by controlling your speed and avoiding fast driving. Now, there are many benefits to traveling to Tibet in winter. All the photos here were taken in Tibet in November, so it’s easy to see that the scenery is already very beautiful in this season. There are colorful forests, turquoise rivers, spectacular snowy landscapes, and actually many small animals come out to forage to survive the cold winter (limited photos, so the animals are not shown). So, the scenery in this season is colorful and diverse. Secondly, there are many sunny days in this season, and more sunshine means more beautiful scenery, especially the snow-capped mountains and lakes, where the water color and clarity of the mountains are very high under clear skies. Thirdly, with the implementation of Tibet’s winter travel policy, many attractions are free except for temples and shuttle buses; just the Potala Palace and Everest Base Camp tickets alone can save you 360 RMB per person. At the same time, major transportation and accommodation are relatively cheaper, with many hotels offering nearly half-price discounts. Also, there are very few people, making reservations easy, photography convenient, and some routes free from traffic jams. Lastly, it’s important to emphasize that during the day in this season, Tibet is actually quite warm under sunlight, and it only gets cold at night or when it’s windy in some scenic spots. Wearing a set of thermal underwear (add a sweater if you’re sensitive to cold), a long-sleeve jacket, and a thick down coat is completely sufficient (gloves and a wool hat are essential). In summary, I personally believe that choosing Tibet in November to December is not only about cost-effectiveness but also about choosing rich and colorful beautiful scenery. The beauty you can see in this season is something many people cannot see even if they spend more money in the peak season. So, there’s really no need to hesitate—go and see Tibet soon!
