Prepare for Tibet Festival Tour in May, 2013
Tibet’s peak tourism season has started. This May should be the first best month to visit Tibet in 2013, with good weather and grand traditional Saga Dawa Festival, but without too many travelers. Now, it is time to prepare for Tibet Festival Tour in May, 2013.
The weather in Tibet is becoming warmer and warmer since late April. Thus, the peak season of Tibet tourism begins and more and more tourists travel to Tibet in May, but you cannot see crowds of travelers at this time except the May Holiday. However, you will see crowds of local Tibetans if you travel to Tibet in late May of this year.
The annual Saga Dawa Festival will fall on May 25th, 2013. The Saga Dawa is a festival to celebrate Sakyamuni’s enlightenment. A legend says on the 15th day of the fourth month of the Tibetan year Sakyamuni was born, became a Buddha and died. Tibetan people believe that good deeds and prayers are multiplied thousand fold during this event. During this festival, Tibetan people do not eat meat and kill any living things in order to concentrate their efforts on worshipping.
Tibetan people also dress in their splendid attire and sing and dance and have a picnic or gathering in Lingka in Lhasa. Some Tibetan pilgrims also do ritual walk about Mt. Kailash in west Tibet.
So it is time for you to prepare for the Tibet festival tour if you are interested in Tibetan culture and this religious festival. You need to apply for Tibet permits and book train/air ticket in advance. If you travel with Tibettravel org, we will handle all for you.
