Tibet accommodation - Your hotel in Lhasa

Tibet Accommodation

You'll spend most nights of your Tibet holiday in atmospheric Tibet accommodation characteristic to the area you're travelling through. The quality of hotels in Tibet has improved significantly in larger cities such as Lhasa and Shigatse. In these cities you'll spend the night in comfortable hotels with your own private facilities, with an authentic Tibetan atmosphere.

Naturally, the more off-road you get during your Tibet trip, the more primitive the accommodation. Instead of staying in hotels you'll stay in guest houses and at times you'll have to share the facilities. Keep in mind that this type of accommodation can also get quite cold. Warm water may not always be available and electricity may falter at times. However, there are always extra warm blankets to cuddle up under and a crackling hearth fire to sit next to. This is a great setting for an adventurous Tibet trip through the Himalayas!
