How about Tibet weather in March? And what to wear?
The weather in March depends on where you are planning to go to Tibet. Much of the region is still in the grip of winter, with the milder weather coming late in the month. Clear skies prevail throughout the month, and while it may not be too warm in some places, the sun shines brightly.
In Lhasa, you can expect temperatures to reach as high as three degrees in the daytime, and around 7 degrees at Lake Namtso and Mount Everest Base Camp. However, bring plenty of warmer clothing, such as sweaters and jackets, as you will still feel the intense cold. Warm hats, gloves, and sunglasses are important additions to your packing list.
-
Does it snow in Tibet in March?
While some parts of the plateau have already seen the start of spring, there are some areas that still have snow in March. The area around EBC can often still be snow-covered, as can the road to Lake Namtso, which often freezes over in the winter. And in the far remote areas of Ngari, around Mount Kailash, snow is still falling.

What are the best festivals to enjoy in March?
The Butter Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first month in Tibetan calendar. It is the last high tide of celebrations of the Tibetan New Year. During the daytime, people go to pray in temples and monasteries while at night there is a lantern show. The butter lanterns they made prayer themselves.
Various lanterns with butter sculptures shaped in the image of deities, animals, plants, and human figures are displayed, attracting people from the neighboring areas to appreciate them. Some of the lanterns are as high as two or three-storey buildings. Often, there is puppet show held as well and the event will last for several days.
As one of the greatest religious festivals in Tibet, the celebration of the Great Prayer Festival would last from January 1st to 25th according to the Tibetan calendar. Thousands of monks (of the three main monasteries of Drepung, Sera and Ganden) would gather for chanting prayers and performing religious rituals at the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa.
Followers of the Tibetan Buddhism from every corner of Tibet would collect in Jokhang Temple to worship Sakyamuni since they regard it as the living Buddha. Pilgrims would also offer donations to the lamas. They would crowd at the second floor of Jokhang Temple and throw their Hada to the chanting lamas.

The spring leaves obvious footprint in Nyingchi since Mid March. With an average altitude of 3,100 meters and surrounded by the snow-capped Himalaya mountain range, the region welcomes spring earlier than the rest of Tibet.

Looking at a distance, it appears that snowy mountains are embracing huge layers of pink clouds.
When travelling there, you will be amazed by the lofty snow-capped mountain peaks, well-preserved original forests, cypresses that can grow up to thirty meters, and numerous colorful grasses.
