ACCOMMODATION

To make our trip an all-round unforgettable Tibet & Nepal adventure travel experience, we've selected accommodations to ensure your comfort and enjoyment even when you're camped at 5000m. Our journey starts and ends with a comfortable and well situated hotel that offers spectacular views of Kathmandu's mountains and valleys. Its prime location makes it an ideal point for exploring the bustling city's temples, shops and cultural sites.

Relative to the Nepal adventure travel industry, Tibet is largely undiscovered and undeveloped. Lhasa does not offer a wide selection of hotels and those that do exist are fairly simple. We've selected a clean, comfortable and centrally located hotel for your three nights in Lhasa. The hotel has attached bathrooms with hot showers (which is not always common in Tibet!).

The rest of our trip will be spent standard camping, with the exception of Day 13 when we stay in a basic Tibetan guesthouse. A full Sherpa crew will accompany our group every day and while you rest your muscles after a long ride, they'll set up our well-equipped camp. We may be camping in some of the world's most remote and pristine areas, but you won't go without your basic comforts. Our camp includes a toilet tent, a kitchen/dining tent and a shower tent with hot water bucket! Sleeping arrangements are cozy two-person tents, but you have the option to have your own tent if you prefer (please see 'extras' in booking form). For many people, the novelty and camaraderie provided by our camping experience is one of the highlights of their trip. Our Sherpa crew and guiding team do a great job of spoiling you!

On Day 10, if weather conditions are poor, we will stay in a basic guesthouse instead of camping near Everest Base Camp.

A note about basic guesthouses in Tibet: These guesthouses are akin to shelter made of stone and mud walls on the exterior, and floor-to-ceiling cement on the interior. Some guesthouses lack hot water for showers, and toilets come in varying degrees of cleanliness ranging from 'bad' to 'okay'. Usually there are 2 to 4 beds in a room with 3-inch foam mattresses on each bed, and nicer guesthouses offer decent dining areas, carpeted bedrooms, and lights. If conditions allow, our Sherpa crew will set up the campsite amenities (toilet tent, kitchen/dining tent, shower tent with hot water bucket) outside of the guesthouse for your own personal use.
