Still cold, with longer days and clear skies. Losar, the Tibetan New Year, often falls this month, and the monasteries on Durpin and in town fill with butter lamps and families. Snow is possible at Lava and Rishyap early in the month. Prices stay at off-season levels until March, which makes this a cheap, quiet month for monasteries and the Pedong villages.
Local tip: Ask a monastery for the year's Losar date; it follows the Tibetan lunar calendar.
