Tibet: cleaner air comes in winter

Many people think winter is not a good season to travel in Tibet for the chilling weather and stronger altitude stress. But actually, as it lies in low latitudes, the warmth of the sun makes the plateau not very cold as imagined. The air in winter is purer than in summer due to less amounts of mist. Therefore, winter is an ideal season to visit the plateau.

Lhasa, the city of sunshine, is a resort for sunbath. The pace of life in the city has slowed down in winter. The trip can be very restful. Asking the history of a Buddhist temple from Lama or haggling about the price of an article on Barkhor Street, you can carefully appreciate every moment in the city.
