Things to see and do at Chamdo in February

Losar, the Tibetan New Year is a popular time to visit Tibet, and in the eastern prefecture of Chamdo, Losar is the most important celebration of the Tibetan calendar. Celebrated on the first day of the Tibetan calendar, the celebrations begin with the preparations as much as 2 weeks before the New Year, and run on for another 15 days afterward.

The last day of the long Losar celebrations in Chamdo, the Butter Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first month in the Tibetan calendar, and is the high point of the annual celebrations. Known as Chunga Choepa, the festival features thousands of butter lamps that are hand-sculpted by the Tibetan monks to be lit in reverence to the twin miracles of Buddha at Sravasti in India.
