Must-Knows about Visiting Tibet in Spring
Spring in Tibet starts from Nyingchi and spreads from southeast to northwest, driving Lhasa, Shannan and Shigatse into the recovery season of local tourism. The following is a summary of some information about spring travel to Tibet that are lesser-known. It might be helpful to you.
Miss the Best Blooming Period of Peach Blossoms in Nyingchi
The best blooming period for peach blossoms in Nyingchi is from late March to mid-April. If you come too early or too late, you will miss its best blooming time. Although Tibet tourism industry has not yet reached its peak season during this period, for Nyingchi, the existence of the Peach Blossom Festival has already brought it to its peak season. So, if you choose to set off for Nyingchi during this period, you need to make plans as early as possible.
Some Lakes in March and April Have Not Yet Fully Thawed
If your expectation is to see a rippling and shimmering lake surface, in March and April, some areas of Tibet welcome spring later than the urban area due to their high altitude. For example, the surface of Namtso Lake usually thaws completely in the middle and late May each year. At this time, the ice melts and the snow melts, and the scenic area officially enters its peak tourist season.
March Marks the Transition of Tibet Tourism Industry from the Off Season to the Shoulder Season
Every year when March 1st comes around, the prices of all the tourist routes in Tibet will increase slightly. After all, having shaken off the cold of winter, spring is gradually coming back, and the demand for tourists is increasing, making the tourism industry gradually busier. Around March 15th, the Tibet winter tour ticket discount policies launched by the tourism authorities come to an end completely, which is also one of the reasons for the price increase.
Trekking on Mount Kailash Won't Reopen Until at Least the End of April or the Beginning of May
Generally speaking, the time for reopening each year is not fixed. It is based on the weather and climate and determined by the authorities. All of this is for the safety of tourists.
EBC Tented Guesthouses Will Reopen in Spring
The tents at the Everest Base Camp in winter will be closed, but they reopen when the spring climbing season approaches. The weather at Mount Everest Base Camp in spring is very suitable for visiting. Occasionally, it may be temporarily closed due to extreme weather. For specific details, please pay attention to the latest travel information.
Conclusion
Spring is a very vibrant season in Tibet. The travel experiences and tour package prices that respectively depart in March, April and May will be slightly different. Only when you ask our travel consultant can you catch the mystery.

plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April
Hi! I would like to plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April (3rd to 10th ideally) to Nepal, Tibet, and, if possible, Bhutan. Do you think it would be doable? Based on what I read, there are some places/things to do to consider: Nepal: Everest Base Camp trek and the Annapurna Circuit, ancient temples, sacred sites like Lumbini, Kathmandu, Tibet: The Potala Palace in Lhasa and the Jokhang Temple. eventually the holy Mount Kailash or the high-altitude plains. Bhutan: Thimphu, Paro, and the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery. To take part in cultural traditions, yoga, meditation... Of course I am open to any recommendations you could make. For your reference, we are both based in Asia: him, in Bangkok and myself in Macau. Thank you so much for the information you could provide and, if possible, an estimated budget for your offer.
