| It is possible to travel
in Tibet at most times of the year. May and June,
September and October are the most pleasant times, cooler
but drier. July and August are the monsoon months. But the
weather is fine most of the year. There are no flights between
Kathmandu and Lhasa in winter (December to March). Mt.
Kailash (6741m) is perhaps the most sacred of the
Holy Mountains in Tibet. Together with the two lakes of Manasarovar
& Rakas, the region is one of the few truly natural
wonders of the world.Tibet has always been an alluring destination
for travellers.Three of the orient's greatest rivers; the
Brahmaputra, the Sutlej, and the Indus, all take their sources
within a hundred kilometers of this 'snow Capped Jewel'
which attracted Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bonpos
from the four corners of Asia for centuries.
