September's weather in detail

The dates vary, but the Ongkor Festival, when Tibetan farmers give thanks for the harvest, usually occurs in September. Both Lhasa and Shigatse are good places to join the celebrations. Outside the cities, the Holy Lakes are especially beguiling at this time, their placid waters framed and enhanced by autumnal foliage.

This month marks the tail-end of peak season, and if you’re planning a holiday to Tibet in late September, you can expect stunning scenery, especially as the clouds begin to clear. A short window suitable for trekking opens up around now too, with lower rainfall to be expected.
