A true fulfilling journey is the one in which you get to explore and experience the unique culture of your destination. That is exactly what you can expect from this list of five destinations.

However, during the other seasons of the year, you might be able to get the whole experience of the Himalayas due to many factors. Some of the major factors are weather conditions, tourist rush, and unclear horizons and so on. So, here are five reasons why you should visit the Himalayas during Autumn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Flora: Although you won&#8217;t be getting to see fresh blooming rhododendrons during the fall. You will never forget the experience of walking through the Himalayan forests in the fall. The leaves shed their lush green colors in favor of a reddish-orange hue. The rays of the sun from the clear skies above you hit the leaves making them glow in amber. You will be able to smell the essence of the earth below you, which is something that cannot be described with words. The trails are carpeted with rusty leaves which crackle beneath you with every step you take. All in all the entire range transforms into a paradise during the fall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Fauna: The Himalayan forests are home to some of the most endangered species of the world. Keep your senses alert while trekking and you will see a variety of rare birds. The Himalayas attracts ornithologists from all around the world. The untouched parts of the Himalayas are havens for rare species like Wards Trogon or the Himalayan Monal. The rare Red Pandas are also conserved here and are exclusive only to the Forests and Parks of the Himalayas. This alone should be the reason for the animal lovers to visit the Himalayas. You might come across a White Bellied Musk Deer rustling through the leaves of the Fall or even an elusive Snow Leopard basking in the sun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_770\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-770\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-770 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pinterest-1024x500.jpg\" alt=\"Himalayas Ticketstodo\" width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pinterest-1024x500.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pinterest-600x293.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pinterest-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pinterest-768x375.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pinterest-335x164.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pinterest.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-770\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mt Kanchenjunga (Pinterest)<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>The Views: After every storm, there is a golden sky.

All the treks in this season offer a breathtaking panoramic view of the mountains and the valleys. The view of Mt Kanchenjunga during sunrise from Drongri is a one to behold. The first rays of the sun will turn the white peaks to golden. The cool mountain breeze will send shivers down your spine.

Trekking in the Himalayas during the fall is an experience that you will cherish for a lifetime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Picture perfect: At Autumn, during the day the blue sky paints herself with gold.

In every place you visit, you will experience something new. There are five major linguistic variations within the Himalayas. Don&#8217;t worry though, English is widely spoken in most of the regions. The culture is also very diverse. There is one thing that is very common amongst the Himalayan people. They are all very helpful, friendly and welcoming. Your visit will also be welcomed and you will experience unique cultures which may have an impact on your outlook towards life.

(Pinterest)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>China lies on the northern side of the Himalayas. The country also has some spectacular landscapes which our trekkers can explore. Autumn is the best time to visit China. The landscape turns golden during this time of the year. The Chinese also consider the month of October to be the golden month. There is an influx of tourists during this period. The cities are crowded and everyone is in a festive mood.<\/p>\n<h4>Famous treks:<\/h4>\n<p>Apart from the Himalayan region, the country boasts of many diverse geographical settings. This country holds many rivers, canyons, deserts, beaches, and mountains. It would be no fun trekking near beaches and deserts due to the humid weather conditions. However, when it comes to mountains during the fall it\u2019s a whole different story. The trek from Daocheng to Yading is one of the most picturesque trekking routes on Earth. On this journey, you will come across many different landscapes. You will trek through golden pastures, forests, crystal clear lakes, snow-capped mountains, mysterious monasteries, and ancient Tibetan villages. Daocheng is also known as, \u201cThe Last Shangrila\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from Trekking in the Himalayas, the Sigunian trek is also a very good option for trekking expeditions in China. You can see the mountain range surrounded by an enchanting flora and fauna. During the fall the leaves turn into shades of gold, red and amber. This only adds to the beauty of the landscape.<\/p>\n<h4>Other attractions:<\/h4>\n<p>You can also spend some time in Beijing. Go around famous sites such as the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Summer Palace. Traveling to China will always be a unique experience. You will get first-hand experience of the cultures and traditions of one of the oldest civilizations of Earth. The Chinese cuisine is also one of the best in the world.<\/p>\n<h4>Rush on the golden week:<\/h4>\n<p>October 1st week also known as the Golden Week. It is a national holiday in China so there is going to be a rush during that period. During the Golden Week, the price for accommodation and traveling usually skyrockets. It&#8217;s better to do all the reservations and tickets in advance.<\/p>\n<h4>Tour guides:<\/h4>\n<p>The tourism department of China has a headquarter in each of the provinces that provide such facilities. There are also many local guides you can access. The knowledge of the Chinese language is very helpful. If not you can hire a professional translator which will be of great help on your journey.<\/p>\n<h4>Places of interest:<\/h4>\n<p>\u2022 Places to visit: Sichuan province, Beijing, Yunnan province, Xinjiang Yugur Autonomous province<br \/>\n\u2022 Best Trekking routes: Daocheng to Yading, Siguniang trek, Kanas lake trek, Tiger leaping gorge trek.<\/p>\n<p>5) TIBET<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_712\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-712\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-712 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tibet.jpg\" alt=\"Himalayas TicketsToDo\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tibet.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tibet-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tibet-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tibet-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tibet-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tibet-335x188.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tibet-700x394.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-712\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tibetan natural landscapes. (Pinterest)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Tibet is technically an autonomous part of China. However, we chose to give Tibet a spot of its own due to all the unique dimensions it offers. It is very difficult to explore Tibet at another time of the year due to harsh weather conditions. Autumn is the only time one can full-heartedly explore the whole of Tibet. The average elevation of Tibet is 4600 meters above sea level. It shares the Mt Everest with Nepal on its south-eastern border. Tibet is the land of numerous lakes, glaciers, rivers and ancient monasteries. It has had little contact with the outside world.<\/p>\n<h4>Famous Treks:<\/h4>\n<p>Trekking in Tibet has a different feel than trekking in India or Nepal. It has a dry terrain, and you will get to approach the Himalayas via its northern face. The advanced Everest base camp trek is one of the main attractions of Tibet. It is also the highest elevation trek of the world at 6340 m. The trek starts from a small monastery of Rongbuk. It goes through the valley of Rongbuk up till the Everest base camp. The Gyama Valley trek could be another excellent option. It has a reputation of being one of the most beautiful mountain valleys on Earth. Orchids, azaleas, wildflowers as well as forested slopes at lower elevations light up the golden landscape of the valley. Trekking in these parts of Tibet will feel like taking a step back in time. The people still follow their ancient traditions and way of life.<\/p>\n<h4>Other Attractions:<\/h4>\n<p>The Potala Palace in the capital city of Lhasa is also a major tourist attraction. While in Tibet you could also have interactions with monks who live in ancient monasteries. They show us the value of simple things in life. Tibet is also home to an excellent mountain cuisine. The traditional Tibetan butter tea is also worth giving a try.<\/p>\n<h4>Tour Guides:<\/h4>\n<p>Foreigners require a Tibet Entry Permit to enter the province.
