3. Question: What is the difference between budget
guesthouse, comfortable hotel and the best hotel?
Answer: One thing you should bury in mind is that
hotels in Tibet concerning its facility and service are
not what you imagine. Not like hotels in New York, or
Beijing, or Hong Kong.
Budget guesthouse has a few kinds. One is the twin room
with or without the bathroom in it. The other is triple,
four-bed rooms, and more beds rooms named dormitory
which all have no private bathroom in them.
Comfortable hotels on our website refer to middle class
hotels, or standard hotels regarding to its location, or
price, or comprehensive service ability. They are
usually three star hotels, or comparatively good 2 star
hotels.
The best hotels are the 4 star hotels. In Tibet there
are only two 4 star hotels in the capital city, Lhasa:
Tibet Hotel VIP Tower, and Lhasa Hotel. The best hotels
in the regions out of Lhasa are generally 3 star hotels,
and in some places no star hotels.
4. Question: Are there English speaking guides and other
languages guides? If there is no German guide, we would

guides in Tibet. And also there are some guides of

as 25 or more days?
Answer: You can stay in Tibet as long as you
wish. We provided tours of 20 days, 30 days, even 60
days to some clients before. But if you come to Tibet
for a tour, not for work, you can stay as long as what

Tibet? What do you suggest we bring with us if we travel

layered clothing. In day time you may need only a
T-shirt or at most a jacket, but at night you may need a
coat. Down coat is necessary if you go beyond Lhasa and
Shigatse to remote areas, the Everest Camp or further to
Mount. Kailash.
Sun glasses, sun blocking cream, moisture scream are
very necessary to be in your packing list.

withdraw Euro & Dollar cash from any bank in Lhasa, but
you can withdraw cash in RMB from a few ATM machines
