Hello,

I am travelling to China (possibly Chengdu) on November 22 and will be
around for 10 days or so. Anyone know if the climate will allow me to
hike around this time? (I happen to be from Canada, so I know something
about cold, but don't know what conditions of travel will be...)

Thanks in advance!

PS. If anyone else going at this time, give me a shout as perhaps we
can meet up!

I've been to Lhasa last week and the weather was ok. Even at 4500m
altitude it wasn't cold. But I heard that the weather in November
"collapses" in China.

Been to Darchen (west Tibet, 4900m) this October and when the
sun wasn't hammering down it was pretty freezy and windy.
OTOH, with a goretex jacket (and a fleece inside) and some wind-proof
trousers it was definitely manageable.
Can't make any prediction for November though.
I wouldn't expect much snow, rather real cold and strong cold wind
blowing over the plains there.

Lots of Greetings!
Volker
