Essential Information - Tibet Motor Bike Tour
Best Season for Tibet Motorbike Tour
The Tibet Motorbike Tour route is closed from mid-October to mid-April due to harsh weather conditions.
During this time, the region experiences freezing temperatures, heavy snowfall, and blocked roads, making travel unsafe and difficult. Snow also makes high-altitude areas, such as Everest Base Camp and Lake Mansarovar, inaccessible.
The cold weather also impacts riding conditions, with icy roads posing significant risks for motorbikes. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, it is best to avoid these months and plan your trip between late April and early October, when the weather is more favorable.
