Tibet Closed February and March

Posted in Himalaya Journey News on

Updated January 2019: When planning your winter journey to Tibet, be advised that the region closes to all foreign travelers from mid February through the end of March each year.

Since 2008, all areas of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) close to foreign travelers from mid-February until the end of March. During this 6 or 7 week annual closure, it is impossible to travel to Lhasa, Everest Base Camp, Kailash and all other areas of Tibet. In 2019, Tibet will be closed for ALL of February and March.  Tibet will reopen on April 1.

This closure ONLY affects travel in the TAR for a short 6 or 7 week period and does not affect travel in Nepal, India or Bhutan.  This closure also normally does not affect travel in the eastern Tibetan Plateau regions of Amdo and Kham.
