Tibetan Treks
Why Go?
Tibet, the highest land on earth, is a trekker's dream. Its towering mountains, deep valleys
and verdant forests offer unbounded opportunities for walking. On foot the joys of the
Tibetan landscape are heightened and immediate, and all other modes of transport pale in
comparison. The wonders of Tibet's natural environment are enhanced by the people met
along the trail, heirs to an ancient and fascinating way of life. By plying the highland paths
one can enter into the same solemn relationship with nature that has sustained Tibetans
through the ages.
When to Trek
The best time to trek in Tibet is during the warmer half of the year.
May and June are excellent months without much rain or snowfall but some high alpine
passes may still be closed.
July and August are the warmest months of the year, but they tend to be rainy and this
can make walking messy and trails harder to find.
September and October are excellent months for trekking, but in high areas the nights
are cold and early snow is always a possibility.
