I've become such a gearhead. Sigh.
Before I did any reading about going to Tibet, I had thought that I would travel there in summertime - around July. This would allow me to enjoy the heights of Everest without having to endure really cold weather. To be certain of the weather conditions, I checked the
World Meteorological Organization's weather map and suprisingly enough, the high and low temperatures in Tibet (using Lhasa as the gauge) in October hover around 60+F during the day and 30+F at night which I find to be surprisingly comfortable temperatures. So I now plan to go around October - this will also make for more comfortable travel in both India and Nepal though New Delhi, India will still be in the 90+F degree range and humid to boot. Ugh. Kathmandu, Nepal will be in the 80'sF and I'm hoping somewhere between New Delhi and Lhasa in humidity level....I hope.
