FAQs about Tibet City Tour
-
1. What are the most popular cities to visit in Tibet?
Lhasa, Shigatse, and Tsedang are three of the most popular cities for international tourists, each boasting its own unique charms and rich history waiting to be explored.
If you only have 4 days in Tibet, visiting Lhasa city and its surroundings is your best solution. You can cover the iconic landmarks in Lhasa, such as Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Circuit, and witness the zealous monk debate in Sera Monastery, etc.
If you can budget 8 days for a Tibet visit, then travel from Lhasa to Shigatse with an excursion to Everest Base Camp, which allows you to explore two of the largest cities in Tibet and rewards you with jaw-dropping north face of Mount Everest.
For cultural explorers, consider combining the Lhasa exploration with a side trip to visit Tsedang, where you can uncover the source of Tibetan Buddhism and culture, such as Samye Monastery, the first Tibetan monastery in Tibet, Yungbulakang Palace, the first fortress built for the first Tibetan king, etc.

4. What is the best time of year to visit Tibet for city tours?
In terms of weather for sightseeing, April to June and Sept. to early Nov offer you relatively mild weather with the azure sky and crisp air for outdoor explorations and enjoying panoramic mountain vistas.
May, June, July, August, Dec, and February next year offer you the best time to explore Tibetan cities while celebrating traditional Tibetan festivals with locals, such as the Saga Dawa Festival, Shoton Festival, Tibetan horse racing festivals, Tashilhunpo Thangka Festival and Tsongkhapa butter lamp festival and Losar (Tibetan New Year).
For budget travelers, like students, the winter season from Nov. will give you the best prices for flights, trains, and hotels for Tibet city tours. Another hidden bonus is that the Tibetan monasteries and other attractions get less crowded. Surrounded by devout pilgrims and monks, it’s truly one of the perfect times for Tibet city tours.
