As one of the best times to visit Tibet, October kicks off with the busy 7-day National Holiday during the first week, when many domestic travelers swarm into Tibet to enjoy their vacation. As a result, flights and hotels tend to fill up quickly, and travel costs rise above normal levels. If you happen to visit Tibet during the hectic China National Day Holiday, be sure to book with us far in advance to secure your spot!
Right after the busy Golden Week in early October, Tibet quickly returns to its peaceful rhythm. Lhasa greets you with clear blue skies, mild weather (averaging 0°C to 18°C), and tranquil holy monasteries. Meanwhile, Mt. Everest invites you to enjoy her stunning beauty with some of the clearest Himalayan views of the year. If you're eager to experience the magical healing power of the Mt. Kailash pilgrimage, October is your last chance of the year before the mountain closes to all visitors until next April. Beyond that, all Tibetan attractions and outdoor activities remain readily available throughout October.
What’s more, the classic Lhasa to Everest Base Camp tour, the Lhasa to Mt. Kailash pilgrimage tour, and the Lhasa to Kathmandu overland tour remain the top picks for over 80% of global travelers visiting Tibet in October. Besides, due to the perfect road conditions, crystal-clear Himalayan views, and the golden Autumn leaves in more forested eastern Tibet, traveling overland from Chengdu to Lhasa is another popular choice for you to experience the magic of Tibet in this photogenic Autumn season. Alternatively, you may also explore other Tibet tours or customize one to travel at your own pace and style.
To give you a clear picture of what it's like to travel in Tibet in October, 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.
