Best Time for Lhasa City Tour
The best time for a Lhasa City Tour is from April to October. The weather is usually good for sightseeing during these months. May, June, September, and October are especially good, with clear skies and comfortable daytime temperatures.
July and August are the rainy months in Nepal, but Lhasa gets much less rain because it lies in the rain shadow of the Himalayas. You may still get some rain, but most days are suitable for sightseeing. These months are also busier with travelers.
November to March is cold in Lhasa, especially in the morning and evening. However, the days are often dry and sunny. If you do not mind the cold, winter can be a good time to visit with fewer tourists.
