Tibet tours in May kick off with China's five-day May Day Holiday. With warmer weather, clear Himalayan views, and blooming wildflowers, May marks the start of the trekking season in Tibet, a perfect time for both domestic and overseas travelers to meet in Lhasa and explore all corners of incredible Tibet together!
You do expect hotels, flights, and train tickets to Lhasa to sell out quickly during the first week of May. However, shortly after the May Day Holiday, Tibet becomes less crowded again, with more affordable travel costs, immersive Himalayan treks, stunning alpine lakes, and all outdoor activities available to satisfy your wanderlust.
The classic Lhasa to Everest Base Camp tours, Mt. Kailash pilgrimage tours, the epic Lhasa to Kathmandu overland tours, and Mt. Everest trekking remain top choices in May for global travelers. However, you can also explore more of our Tibet tours or tailor one to match your own pace and travel style.
To give you a clear picture of what it’s like to travel in Tibet in May, we’ve gathered our guests’ travel photos and stories on this page. Hopefully, their inspiring journeys will help you plan your upcoming Tibet adventure with ease, based on your personal travel style, preferred destinations, and interests.
