Tibet Weather in October

Tibet in October is warm, sunny, and dry. October will see the most beautiful Tibet because of the cool weather and those colorful leaves. In late October, Tibet will eventually turn to a golden world, which will make it more beautiful and more suitable for tourists and photographers to take perfect pictures. Some tourists will choose to travel to Tibet for a trekking tour in October as the temperature is moderate and the scenery is attractive. But it is the truth that there will be fewer and fewer tourists in Tibet and that is why October is known as the beginning of the low season of Tibet tourism.

The temperature will begin to drop in October in Tibet. But the temperature of most places in the plateau will not drop to below zero. The average temperature in Tibet ranges from about 1 degree to 17 degrees, resulting in a large temperature difference between day and night. Although it is cold at night, tourists can also enjoy the bright sunshine and clear skies in October in Tibet. It will be warm by daytime because winter and snows have not arrived yet. It is a good time for tourists to enjoy the cool weather on the plateau and see the snow-capped mountains and sacred lakes clearly and closely. And with the decreasing number of tourists, a Tibet tour in October will be pleasant and relaxing. The golden Tibet always welcomes kinds of international tourists in October.

The temperature in Tibet in October will change greatly within one day. So, when you are having a Tibet tour in this season, you'd better wear multiple clothes that are easy to put on and take off to be prepared for the changing weather. When traveling in Lhasa, Nyingchi, Shannan, you can put on a light coat with a warm sweater or underwear. It is better to bring your light down jacket to prevent getting too cold suddenly at night. And if you are going to Ngari and Mount Everest, a warm down jacket and warm pants are necessary to a warm journey. Besides, tourists always need to remember to use sunscreen, sun hats and sunglasses when outdoors.

It will become dry in October, which requires tourists to drink a lot of water to avoid getting too thirsty. Besides, your skin also needs water and moisture cream to keep it moisturized. What's more, it is highly recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables on the plateau. And because of the dry air, the oxygen content in the air will also decrease, leading it easier for most tourists to have high altitude sickness. But there is nothing to worry about because it will soon be better.

Tibet Travel Suggestion in October

At the beginning of October is the National Day of the People's Republic of China, which means there will be lots of visitors swarming into Tibet during these days. It is the last chance for Tibet to see so many visitors in this land this year. And it will result in the shortage of train tickets, plane tickets, hotels, vehicles, and so on. So, it is not a good idea to arrange a Tibet tour in the golden week that belongs to Chinese tourists. But after the first week of October, Tibet will return to be quiet since the real low season comes. However, it doesn't suggest that Tibet is not suitable for tourism anymore. Visitors can still come to Tibet to enjoy the whole scenery without crowds. And they can also choose to experience Tibetan daily life and get to know the primitive Tibet.

The average temperature in Lhasa will be 8 degrees to 20 degrees. A tour in Lhasa city will be comfortable because of the cool weather. Tourists can firstly pay a visit to the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street, Sera Monastery, Drepung Monastery, etc. to get to know the Tibetan culture and lifestyle deeply. Those trees inside Lhasa and around Lhasa will start to turn yellow, making it a perfect time for visitors to take beautiful pictures. And tourists can also take a taste of those traditional dishes in the restaurants in Lhasa.

On the road from Lhasa to Shigatse, tourists will be able to see the picturesque scenery with those yellow trees, blue sky, and clouds. And the tour will guide tourists to view the Korola Glacier on the roadside and visit Pelkor Monastery and Gyantse Kumbum in Gyantse. In Shigatse, Tashilunpo Monastery will be a must-visit site and then tourists can go to Everest Base Camp to view the peak of Mount Everest. However, it requires warm down jackets, winter jackets, scarves, hats to keep warm in the area.

Nyingchi and Shannan will be great destinations since these two areas are covered by lush trees. It will be beautiful and amazing when these two areas get into autumn in October. Light down jackets will be useful when traveling in Nyingchi and Shannan. There will be fewer visitors in Ngari and Nagqu because of the low temperature and dry air. But if you insist on visiting these areas, you can ask help from your Tibet travel agency and they will try their best to arrange a great Tibet tour route for you.
