Tibet Hotels: In Tibet, the hotels we use are mostly privately owned and are of 2-3 star category. In Lhasa we will be accommodated at the Kyichu Hotel in the old part of Lhasa, which is only a few minutes walk from the Jokhang Temple. Outside of Lhasa there is not much choice with the hotels and those that we are using are privately owned. All the hotels that we use have attached bathroom facilities except for Rongbuk. Most of the hotels have running hot water in the morning and evening if not 24 hours.
Please note that the facility of running hot water may not be available in Shegar and Rongbuk.

Weather: Generally daytime temperatures range between 60 and 70 degrees and evening temperatures are between 40 and 50 degrees. After you sign up for the trip you will receive a detailed Trip Package which will include information on weather conditions and a packing list.

Health Precautions: Make sure you are as healthy as possible before you leave home. Check that your teeth are in good shape and get all your immunizations at the right time. The most common health problem is mild altitude sickness. It is very hard to avoid completely but one can minimize the risks by taking precautions. Kindly consult your doctor about high altitude sickness. We will attempt to secure, but do not guarantee, the services of emergency medical personnel. Medical facilities in most areas are limited.
Note: The participants are required to consult their doctor regarding traveling and sleeping at elevations of 16,500 ft.

Food: We would like you to try the local cuisine. We will be eating all of our meals in quality restaurants and hotel dining rooms. The food is nutritious and delicious. A vegetarian diet can easily be accommodated but we recommend that you bring some food with you such as energy bars, dry fruits, cookies etc.

Difficulty: Long days traveling by vehicle can be fatiguing. Some walking will be required. If you have any questions regarding your ability please contact us.
