What to pack for Lhasa in the spring

When packing for a spring trip to Lhasa, Tibet, it is important to bring clothing that will keep you warm in the chilly morning and evening temperatures, but also cool during the daytime when the sun is shining.

Layering is key in this city, as temperatures can fluctuate throughout the day. It is recommended to pack a mix of lightweight and warm layers such as long-sleeve shirts, sweaters, and a lightweight jacket or coat for evenings.

Additionally, be sure to pack a water-resistant jacket or raincoat as spring in Lhasa can bring rain showers. Comfortable and sturdy walking shoes are essential for exploring the city and its historical sites. Don't forget to pack a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong sunlight at high altitudes.

Lastly, bring a scarf or shawl to cover your shoulders when visiting temples and monasteries as a sign of respect.

In the spring, Lhasa experiences a cool and dry climate with temperatures typically ranging from 3°C to 15°C.

The city enjoys clear and sunny days, but temperatures can drop significantly at night due to its high altitude.

The spring season also brings occasional showers, which help to bring a sense of renewal to the breathtaking landscape of snow-capped mountains and blooming flowers in this ancient and mystical city.
