Tibet has varying elevations as well as geography. The Changtang (northern Plateau) is a single of a coldest, top (over 4400m) as well as many empty areas of Tibet. Winter here is a harshest in Tibet with temperatures mostly removing down to -30C (-22F) or colder. Freezing temperatures occur even in a summer there.

Amdo (northeast Tibet) has huge rolling grasslands giving approach to tall towering ranges as well as is home to many nomads. While Amdo is not as tall as Changtang, winter is still prolonged as well as cold. With an normal elevation of over 3400m as well as sitting in a many northern segment of Tibet, winter can come early. Freezing temperatures have been usual by mid-Septemeber. Amdo also gets some-more snow than many regions of Tibet. If you have ever seen a picture of Tibetan nomads in snow, chances have been it was taken in Amdo. Winter temperatures can easily get to -20C (-4F) as well as a tall areas of Golok Tibet Autonomous Prefecture can get to -30C. Summers have been short, yet pleasing in Amdo with temperatures removing up to 24C (75F) by mid-July (nights have been still cold though).
