When to Go
Temperatures are comfortable from April to September, with days surprisingly warm
and nights pleasantly cool. Sunlight is strong at this altitude so always wear sunscreen.
The major festivals of Saga Dawa (spring) and Losar (winter) bring huge numbers of
pilgrims to the city, and the August Shötun festival is also a major draw.
Accommodation can be tight during the first weeks of May and October and the months
of July and August, when Chinese tourists flock to the city.
