Everest Region---Why go and When to go

Why Go
The great overland trip across Tibet  -  from Lhasa to the Nepali border
via  Gyantse,  Shigatse  and  Mt  Everest  Base  Camp  -  passes  straight
through  Tsang.  Most  of  the  highlights  of the  region  lie  right  along (or
close to) the Friendship Hwy, making cross-country travel a relatively
straightforward  process.  A  great  variety  of  sights  and  activities  are
experienced along the way, from hardcore treks in the Everest region to
a smorgasbord of ancient Tibetan monasteries and historic towns. For
many travellers, Tsang is either the first or last place they experience in
Tibet, and the ride either up or down from Nepal is a border crossing for
the ages.
When to Go?
The best time of the year to visit Tsang is from May to June, when views
of Mt Everest are usually clear before the monsoon brings cloud cover.
This  is  also  an  excellent  time  for  trekking  in  the  Himalayas.  The
colourful three-day festival at Tashilhunpo takes place in June or July
(dates change each year) and culminates in the unrolling of a massive
thangkas.  Visit  Gyantse  for  the  horse  racing  and  archery  festival  in
June (dates change each year), which includes traditional games, folk
singing, picnics and much swilling of barley beer.
