WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT LHASA IN JUNE
June is a popular month to visit Lhasa, and the streets become crowded with tourists. It is still a good time to visit.
First of all, temperatures became steadily warm and comfortable in the daytime, mornings and evenings. You can enjoy long walks and not get cold. At the same time, the rainy season begins in the middle of June and lasts until the end of August – September. That’s why June is the driest of the three summer months.
June has the longest daytime, meaning that you can comfortably explore Lhasa from early morning until evening.
At the same time, although June sees many tourists, there are still fewer visitors than in July or August.
Finally, because June is less touristy than the rest of summer, tour prices are lower than in July or August.

WHAT TO WEAR IN LHASA IN JUNE
Since June is a warm summer month, you won’t need a lot of clothes to travel to Lhasa. Bring a jacket or a sweater for early morning or late evening walks. For daytime, we highly recommend protecting your skin from strong sunshine. Wear a long sleeve shirt or a light jacket with UV protection. If you are wearing a short sleeve t-shirt, remember to put on sunscreen. You can also wear a wide brim hat or a baseball hat to protect your head and eyes. Also, don’t forget to pack sunglasses.
Although some days might be hot, please, don’t bring shorts or short skirts. Tibetan society is very conservative and Tibetans wear very modest clothes. If you are wearing shorts, short skirts, or other revealing clothes, such as leggings/ yoga pants, you won’t be allowed to enter monasteries.
For the rainy days, you can bring an umbrella. During the daytime, it doesn’t rain often. So you don’t need a special raingear. A simple rain poncho or waterproof jacket will suffice.
When touring Lhasa, we walk a lot. It is best to wear comfortable shoes, ideally waterproof.
