What are the accommodations like in Tibet and in Kathmandu?
The capital of Nepal has some very luxurious hotels, rivaling some in the West. For all of our destinations in Nepal and Tibet, we use the very elegant and centrally located Hotel Tibet. This hotel is run by a Tibet family who is also in the business of selling carpets. The hotel, near the many embassies in Lazimpath, one of the quietest locations in the city, has internet connections, a conference room and all the services found in comparable hotels in Europe and in North America. Accommodations in Tibet are less luxurious and are often fairly large, spiritless affairs. The rooms are for the most part comfortable and clean but do not expect the Hyatt. Once we leave Lhasa, the standards are lower with fairly basic accommodations in Tingri, Kodari, and Zangmu.
