Notes on Nyingchi travel in September

Because of the strong UV radiation, no matter which season you pick to travel to Tibet，sun protection is needed.

The temperature difference between day and night can be really large in Tibet and you are recommended to be aware of it to stay well. Catching a cold can be dangerous due to high altitude complications.

When you first travel to the Tibetan Plateau, most people will feel different levels of hypoxia such as chest tightness, difficulty breathing or other symptoms. But this does not mean that you cannot adapt to the high altitude environment. If you can adjust yourself properly, the above symptoms can generally be improved or disappear in 2~3 days.

September is the peak season for travel to Tibet. It is recommended to plan and book your hotels and plane/train tickets in advance, since the accommodation and tickets can be difficult to get. Even a ticket for visiting Potala Palace may be really hard to book then.

August is also the rainy season in Tibet. If you are hiking to Ali and Medog, please be aware of the possible natural disasters such as landslides and mudslides. It is recommended to know the local weather before you go.
