Direct answer
Tibet can suit senior travelers when walking, steps, altitude, weather and transfer length are matched to individual ability. A slower version of the standard itinerary is often more comfortable.

- ●Account for the destination's climate: High-altitude — strong sun, cold nights. Lhasa: 10-25°C summer, -10 to 10°C winter. EBC: below freezing year-round at night..
