* There are some small hotels in Lhatse, like Lhatse Shanghai Grand Hotel owned by Chinese. no English Service, rooms are not bad.

* Only one hotel in Sakya, the Sakya Manasorova Hotel, frontdesk can speak simple English, facilities are very simple but private twin rooms are available, Hotel provides hot water and nice breakfast buffet.

All these hotels and Guest Houses in Sakya and Latse have no heating in winter, even the hot water supply is not enough. It is better do not choose to stay in Sakya and Latse in winter.

Shegar and Tingri

*** There is poor facilities, much poor than those in Gyantse and Shigatse, Tibettravel.Org does not recommend it.
facilities are very simple but private twin rooms are available, Hotel provides hot water and nice breakfast buffet.
No heating in winter.

Though hotels are simple, they are much expensive than those in big cites.

Recommend: Shegar Shanghai Hotel, Tingri Qomolangma Hotel, Snow leopard Hotel

Snow leopard hotel has a very good view of Mt. Everest, it is located in old TIngri, it is on the way from Everest Base Camp to Nepal Border.

Rongbuk Monastery and Everest Base Camp

**There is choice between Tents and Rongpuk Guest House, but it is difficult to choose in summer when the Everest Base Camp is overcrowed.Tibettravel.Org recommend tents because the tents have stoves inside which is warmer than in cold stone rooms.

Accommodations are very primitive, no toilet, no sink area, no electricity but some hot water given by the host. As the accommodations are in the wild, so no special bathroom, you have to relieve yourself in the wild too.

Rongpuk Tents: 6-12 people share a tents;
Rongpuk Guest House: 2-4 dorms a room in Rongpuk Guest house, the guest house has a restaurant which provides a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Breakfast is simple, like Pan-cake, yak butter tea. The tent hosts offers better breakfast than Rongpuk Guest House. Most of the hosts can speak English.

Everest Base Camp Tents are also available in summer time.

There is a hotel called Everest Hotel or Everest View Hotel, it offers twin room but no private bathroom.the bedding is cleaner than guesthouse, breakfast is in Chinese Style. the room rate is pretty expensive, 380RMB for a night and two breakfast.because it is the only hotel at Rongpuk.

** As there is no heating system at Rongpuk Area, so the hotel is extremely cold in winter. 

Zhangmu(Chinese Boader)

* Guest Houses as those are in Gyantse and Shigatse, the accommodations are quite poor, no shower, Guesthouse offers a thermos bottle of hot water for washing face and hands. Sharing bash room. 3-4 dorm a room. Free Breakfast: Steam bread,Chinese porridge No heating in winter, bedding is not clean enough. most of the hotel host can speak some English.
Recommend: Zhangmu Gang-Gyan Guest House

* Hotels in Zhangmu: Because of its advantage of being a border town, the accommodations are much better than Tingri and Rongpuk. There are 3 hotels which have basic facilities for a night, we recommend Zhangmu Gang-Gyan Hotel, Shepard Hotel and Baima Hotel.The guestrooms are not very clean, the breakfast is simple.

** Zhangmu Hotel and Caiyuan Hotel are the best in local, hotels have clean guestroom and better service. But the price is double of normal basic hotel. Breakfast are buffet. Due to the environment limitation, they are not as good as in Shigatse and Lhasa. These two best local hotels cost you about 55USD for a night stay.
