If you are planning to visit Tibet then you should consider visiting the place in the months of winter. Though summer is the preferred option to visit Tibet for most of the tourists, you will find that visiting the region in winter has its own advantages. Here are the three primary reasons why you should seriously consider visiting Tibet during the winter. 

Cheaper travel expense: The winter season is the perfect opportunity for the tourists to enjoy travel, transportation, entry tickets and tour packages at discounted price since the rates are slashed for the off season. Additionally the tourists also get free entry to various renowned tourist spots beginning from the 15th of October and this offer lasts for the whole period of 5 months of winter. The landmark of Tibet and Potala palace offer free entry up to 15th of March. Besides this there is also 50% off on 3 star + hotels as well as air tickets. 

Another factor why you should consider going in winter is lesser crowd. During summer the different locations in Tibet are all crowded and you would find photographers clamoring for same spot to take the perfect shot. The roads are busy, the tourist destinations are packed and thus if you choose winter for your trip then you don't have to worry about these factors thereby enjoying your holidays in peace and tranquility. With lesser crowds you can also stroll through the Barkhor street of Lhasa and enjoy the proceedings around the place.

While the temperatures are low and it's cold during winter but the conditions are not as extreme as some people suggest. It does get particularly cold during the night but during daytime its warm with bright sunshine.
