Questions travellers ask
Is March a good time to visit Kailash & Tibet (via Nepal)?
March is usually closed to foreign tourists in Tibet, with permits reopening in late March or April depending on the year. Lhasa warms slowly and the first group tours return once permits are issued. Kailash remains snowbound, and the routes from Kyirong and Hilsa are not yet open to pilgrims. This is the main booking window for the season: fixed departures for May, June and Saga Dawa fill first, and the visa process for Indian pilgrims needs weeks of lead time.
What is the weather like in Kailash & Tibet (via Nepal) in March?
Lhasa −2 to 13 °C, dry; Gyantse −6 to 11 °C. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
