Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) seasons are considered the best time for going on a trek in Tibet. During these times of the year, there is extremely less amount of rainfall to interrupt the treks. Similarly, the temperature is also moderate, that makes walking in the wilderness much easier. Also the skies are clearer giving the best possible views of the landscape. Treks are also possible during winter; however, the temperature is extremely cold in most part of the region. And most the areas are covered with snow. Withal, in areas around Lhasa, it's not so cold and some treks can be done. During summer, the weather is warmer with highest amount of rainfall which increases the danger of mudslides. Nonetheless, the rain increases the oxygen level making acclimatization a bit easier during the summer. Altitude Sickness: With majority of the region being located at higher elevation, Altitude sickness is a major issue faced by the visitors and trekkers in Tibet. Typically, the symptoms of Altitude Sickness start at an altitude of 2400m from the sea level. Its basic symptoms include dizziness, nausea, shortening of breath, and headaches.
