Where to Stay in Tibet: Lhasa Hotels, Mountain Guesthouses and Camps

A hotel name matters less than the actual room, heating, hot water, oxygen policy, vehicle access and location on your route. Remote Everest and Kailash nights are basic by necessity; plan for that honestly.

A hotel name matters less than the actual room, heating, hot water, oxygen policy, vehicle access and location on your route. Remote Everest and Kailash nights are basic by necessity; plan for that honestly.

Questions for every property

  • Is the room heated all night and what happens during power cuts?
  • How far is the vehicle drop-off and are there stairs?
  • Can breakfast be prepared before an early road departure?
  • Is hot water reliable, and is oxygen available as a support—not a treatment?
  • What room category, bedding and bathroom are actually included?

Remote overnight stops

Guesthouses around Everest and Kailash are exposed to cold, dust and changing access. Bring a warm sleeping layer, earplugs and a flexible attitude; confirm the exact overnight town or camp before departure.
