Hotels in Tibet, China
Tibet sits on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in China, famous for its ancient Buddhist monasteries and the towering Himalayan peaks. The climate is harsh: cold winters (down to -15°F/-26°C in Lhasa) are perfect for visiting fewer tourists at the Potala Palace, while mild summers (up to 68°F/20°C) allow for hiking the Everest Base Camp trail or joining a prayer wheel ceremony at Jokhang Temple. Best to come from May to October when roads are clear; winter offers rock-bottom prices on guesthouses in Lhasa.
