FAQs about Planning a Tibet Bike Tour

1. What is the fitness demand for cycling in Tibet?

Considering the high altitude and long distances of most cycling tours in Tibet, one needs have at least an average level of fitness. Some of the short cycling around Lhasa may be relatively easy for most tourists, while some mountain biking tours, like the one from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp, requires a higher degree of fitness. The road is generally flat and broad, but there will be quite a few twists and turns from time to time. Especially, when crossing the mountain passes, it can be quite exhausting. It is recommended to take training for a couple of months before you officially start cycling on the plateau. Also getting acclimatized to the high altitude is helpful.

2. When is best time to enjoy a Tibet cycling tour?

Generally, the best time to enjoy a Tibet biking tour is from April to June and September to November. In spring and autumn seasons, the climate is stable and the weather is mild, and clear and bright sky makes it favorable to explore the wildness of Tibet. One can appreciate the refreshing natural landscape from blooming flowers to lush grassland. Summer season is also a good time for biking as an alternative, but one needs to pay attention to the rain forecast in advance if the cycling involves some mountain roads. From November, most routes in Tibet will be blocked by heavy snows and it could be risky to bike on the plateau at this time.

3. How is the road condition for biking in Tibet?

In fact, you will ride on very good roads most of the time as the road conditions in Tibet have been greatly improved especially for those between big cities. There is smooth and wide Friendship Highway that connects Lhasa with Gyirong Port, and the route from Lhasa to Lake Namtso is also well-paved. Certainly, some mountain roads in remote areas of Tibet are still rugged and bumped, but no so bad as one imagined. Usually, a mountain bike is qualified for all kinds of biking in Tibet.
