With more than 3000 hours of sunshine annually, Lhasa is famed as 'the city of sunshine'. Sunlight is extremely intense. Sunscreen lotion, a salve for lips and sunglasses are a must. Clothing should be simple and consist of layers which can be added or removed as temperatures vary during the day. In winter, a warm windbreaker and stout, comfortable shoes are especially recommended.

Contrary to popular belief, wintertime is the perfect season to visit Lhasa as the summer rains have passed and we have and average 10 hours of sunshine every day!

All Superior Rooms in Hotel Lhasa have central heating.
