July and August mark both the rainy season and summer in Tibet. However, it never gets too hot - showers are usually brief, often arriving in the late afternoon or at night. The moist air and high oxygen levels make Tibetan summer an ideal retreat from the heat.

It’s a wonderful time to explore the heart of Lhasa, where you can comfortably wear just a T-shirt during the day. This season also brings vibrant celebrations, such as the Shoton Festival in August - a perfect chance to fully immerse yourself in Tibetan culture.

What’s more, Mount Everest remains clear on most days during July and August. With four specially arranged viewpoints, your chances of seeing the majestic peak are still high. Thanks to the mild weather and higher oxygen levels, summer is also a more comfortable time to visit high-altitude destinations like Mt. Kailash and Namtso Lake.

FAQs about Tibet Tour in July and August

  • How about the road condition in rainy season? Is it safe to tour Tibet in Jul. and Aug.?

    While July and August are the rainy monsoon season in Tibet, the plateau does not really see that much in the way of rain for most of the region.

    July is the wettest month of the year, but even then, rainfall average is only around 122mm for the whole month, Nyingchi does see more rain than Ngari, but the roads are normally still passable throughout the season, making tours still possible, even on the wettest of months. And with most of the rain falling in the evenings and overnight, it has little effect on your tour.

  • How about Tibet weather in Jul. and Aug.? Is it too hot? And what to wear?

    Tibet’s weather in July and August is generally wet, with bright days and warm temperatures. Rainfall normally occurs late in the day, with the mornings being bright and sunny. The amount of rainfall depends on your location, and Nyingchi is the highest, with more than 500mm for the season. However, most of the plateau sees a lot less rain, and in Nagqu, Ngari, and western Shigatse, rain is still scarce.

    Temperatures are also lower now, reaching only around 21-22 degrees, as the weather is cooling already towards autumn. Warm clothes are only really needed for the most remote areas such as EBC and Namtso, where the lows can still get below 5 degrees at night. Just remember to bring a raincoat.

  • Can I see Mount Everest clearly in the monsoon season?

    While there may not be much rain in western Shigatse and around the Himalayas in the summer, there is no guarantee that the summit of Everest will be clearly visible. Clouds can sometimes cling to the mountain peaks, making them hard to see, and it is really pot luck when you get to EBC. But with 4 view points, the chance is still high.

  • Can I trek Tibet in the rainy season?

    Trekking in Tibet is rarely a problem in the rainy season, except in the lower altitudes around Nyingchi. Trekking routes are not usually affected by the monsoon season, thanks to the low rainfall across most of the plateau. You may just find a few showers are more common, so bring raincoats.

  • What are the Best Festival to Enjoy in July and Aug.?

    The Tibetan Festival, Universal Prayer Day/Dzamling Chisang is a Tibetan Buddhist festival celebrated on the 15th day of the fifth month in Tibetan Calendar. It is a time for spiritual cleansing. On the Universal Prayer Day, Tibetan people go to the tops of local mountains to burn incense and hang prayer flags. Thus, it’s also called as World Incense Festival, which will fall on July 5 in 2020.

    Dzam Ling Chi Sang was originally meant to commemorate Guru Rinpoche's subjugation of the local deities and the founding of Samye Monastery. In Lhasa, there is the spectacle of large amounts of 'Sang' being burned up on the hills of Chakpori, Bumpari (on the southern side of the Kyi-chu) and Gephelri ( behind Drepung Monastery ), etc. 'Sang' is a Tibetan 'ritual fireworks'. There is a variety in selection of material for Weisang, like branches pine and cypress, leaves of herbs such as Artemisia argyi and heath.

    Yushu Horse Racing Festival held in Qinghai is a traditional Tibetan Festival in Amdo Tibetan Area. The festival is usually celebrated in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Region from July 25 to August 1 each year.

    Horse Racing is quite popular in Tibetan Area. Yushu Horse Racing Festival is one of the top three horse racing festivals in Tibetan area. The other two are Ngachu Horse Racing Festival and Litang Horse Racing Festival. The Yushu Horse Race Festival takes advantage of the warm weather, so the valley floor has lush green grass suitable for long-distance horse races and tent camping.

    Chokor Duchen Festival is one of the four great seasonal festivals (Losar, Saga Dawa, Chokor Duchen and Lhabab Duchen) celebrated by all Tibetan Buddhists. During those times, it is believed that the effects of positive or negative actions are multiplied ten million times.

    Chokhor means “Prayer Wheel” or “Dharma Wheel”, the common religious objects in Tibet, and Duchen means “great occasion” in Tibetan. This festival held in Lhasa on the 4th day of the 6th month of Tibetan calendar celebrates Buddha’s first sermon at Sarnath near Varanasi in India. Many pilgrims climb the Mt. Gyambu Utse, the peak behind Drepung Monastery, and also the ridge from Pabonka to the Dode Valley, to burn the incense and hang prayer flags. The festival is also called Drukwa Tsezhi.

    Tradition has it that Buddha was not convinced through his own reflections that teaching what he had discovered through his meditations would be of any benefit to others. It took the intercession of the great gods, Brahma and Indra, to persuade him to do so for the benefit of all sentient beings. The Buddha then addressed the five people who had been his companions during the time spent with the forest yogins concerning the Truth of Suffering, and the other Noble Truths.

    As an important religious Tibet festival with a history over 500 years, Tashilhunpo Monastery Festival, also known as Buddha Exhibition Festival in Tashilhunpo Monastery enjoys high popularity among local Tibetans and tourists. The Tashilhunpo Thangka Festival usually erupts for three days in the middle of the fifth lunar Tibetan month, from May 14th-16th in Tibetan Calendar every year. Different Buddhas are exhibited on each day during this festival.

    Events culminate with the unveiling of a huge four-storey-tall Thangka (religious painting) on a tower behind the Tashilunpo monastery. The whole exposition zone spreads over 1,000 meters, decorated by silk and satins.

    The Ganden Thangka Unveiling Festival is held on the 15th day of the sixth lunar month of Tibetan Calendar in memory of the enlightenment of Tsongkhapa, a well-known Tibetan religious philosopher. During this festival, Ganden Monastery would display its 25 holiest relics, which are normally locked away. A large offering ceremony accompanies the unveiling.

    The highlight is that Ganden's monks would hang enormous thangka from the special wall at the northern corner of the monastery where it can be seen from the surrounding countryside. Thousands of people would circle the monastery, enter inside to view the Buddhas, pray, and get blessed, and then they go outside to sit on the hill or try to get close to the wall where the big and vividly woven thangka is displayed. Some poor people would walk for weeks to get to the place before sunrise that day.

    Litang Horse Racing Festival in Kham Tibetan Area is a traditional Tibetan festival held on from August 1 to August 7 every year in Litang County, Sichuan province. The Litang Horse Racing Festival is the most celebrated holiday in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau. Khampas from all over the Tibetan Plateau come to trade, celebrate and ride. Khampas are nomads that are Tibetan and are usually herders.

    During the Litang Horse Racing festival horsemanship and horse races are held upon the Tibetan Ponies. These small and fast horses are raced and shown to see who owns the best horse. The horse festival is significant because it helps to establish socio-economic hierarchy in Khampas who participate. A lot of honor and prestige is placed on who owns the best horse. A very large tourism business has been built up on adventure trips and tours provided by companies who cater to individuals who are interested in horses and horsemanship. These companies travel around Tibet taking groups of tourists throughout the different villages hosting horse festivals. This benefits the nomads' economy as well as the rest of China's economy.

  • What can I experience during Shoton Festival?

    One of the grandest festivals in Tibet is the renowned Shoton Festival. A celebration that was originally held to mark the end of Yarné, the monastic period of 100 days of fasting and meditation in the summer months, the festival is more commonly known now as the Yogurt Festival. Yogurt is the main food that is eaten, and you can also see plenty of Tibetan operas and the exhibition of the thangkas in the monasteries.

  • Can I participate in the horse race held in Gyantse and Nagqu?

    While the horse racing festivals of Tibet are renowned as exciting and fun events, with lots to see and eat, they are not usually ideal for tourists to enter as competitors. The races and stunts are dangerous, and the riders are all experienced and trained. The best way to take part is as a spectator.

  • Why July and August are the peak season with high price for visiting Tibet? And how to minimize the tour cost?

    The summer months are the peak season for tourism in Tibet, as these are the main months when tourists decide to visit the region. Summer is usually the main tourist season in places where the monsoon is not so strong. And in Tibet, the huge number of festivals, great weather, and amazing sights of the summer make it the best time to come. However, it is more costly, and if you want to reduce the cost, you can join in on a Tibet Small Group Tour to share some of the expenses with other travelers.
