Tibet, one of the most dramatic climates places in China is known for the sudden weather change in a day and in a year. Through it is cool in summer from May to August; it is extremely cold in the winter from December to next March. To avoid the cold and dry weather from December to March, it is said that it is the best time for a Tibet trip is from April to November, while the golden time is the summer time of June, July, August and September.

Can I travel in Tibet with my young kids?
Tibet may not be an ideal travel destination for very young Children. The climate and generally harsher weather conditions in Tibet may not be suitable for very young children. And our suggestion is that it is not so good to bring kids under 4 years old to Tibet especially in winter tour season, but it is much easier for kids above 3 years old travelling in Tibet in summer vacations (June to August).

Shall I need to buy insurance before my departure for Tibet trip?
We highly suggest our clients to buy insurance at their home country insurance companies to cover the mishaps and physical unease occurring during the travel period in China and Tibet because their local insurance policy is more favorable to them than those in China and easier to operate for clients.

Usually Tibetans are quite friendly and easy going. But we do suggest you ask for permissions before taking photos of them because some of the people may believe your photos of them will do harm to their religious soul.
