• Temporada

  Plateau summer rains

  The plateau takes most of its rain in July and August and most of it falls overnight, so the days often stay clear. It is also when the overland roads in from Sichuan and the west are likeliest to wash out.

  One of the four great merit days: the kora circuits round the Jokhang and the Potala move shoulder to shoulder from before dawn and everyone gives something away. Autumn air, and the plateau at its clearest. Fuente ↗
