Lhasa Weather in April

Lhasa gradually enters into its spring in April, with the temperature rising day by day. However, it is still cold at night due to the high altitude. The wind is often strong, but there is little rain. As a result, flying dust and sandstorms are still common. At the same time, the weather is very changeable, and there is the possibility of experiencing snow entrained in cold air.

Generally speaking, the natural landscape improves in April. For instance, the peach blossoms and the azaleas in Nyingchi often begin to bloom in this month. Thus, the number of visitors usually progressively increases, although Lhasa hasn’t reached its peak travel time yet.

Bring medicine necessary for colds and altitude stress. For a trip to Lhasa, a sunhat, sunglasses, and suntan lotion are indispensable all year round. As well, take lipbalm during the dry and windy season from late October to the following May. On arrival at Lhasa, have a good rest before bathing or visiting any place.
