Is it expensive to stay overnight in Tibet?

There are relatively expensive star-rated hotels, and there are also many youth hostels and inns with very cheap and favorable prices. In short, it is up to you to be rich and frugal according to your own economic conditions. There are 14 star-rated hotels in Tibet. Three-star hotels (four of them) are the highest level. The infrastructure and services are very good, but the prices are high. In July and August, the supply of rooms in star-rated hotels exceeds demand, so you need to book in advance if you want to check in.

Hotels with Tibetan style and residential characteristics, such as Lhasa's Asia Hotel, Balangxue Hostel, Shigatse Tenzin Hotel, etc., although the conditions are not as good as star-rated hotels, staying in them is unique and the price is moderate.

Accommodation conditions in Tibet are limited, and hotels of the same level are one level lower than those in the mainland. There are three, four and five-star hotels in Lhasa, Shigatse and Nyingchi areas. Due to environmental protection, permanent buildings are not allowed to be built in Namtso and Mount Everest. Therefore, the accommodation conditions in these two attractions are relatively simple. The inns at the lakeside of Namtso are all board houses, and the accommodation at Everest Base Camp is tents. But it can keep you warm and safe. Some other small places do not have four or five-star hotels, but they are basically clean and hygienic hotels.

Backpackers who do not have high requirements for accommodation like to live in small hotels. You can find small hotels in almost every slightly larger place (such as small towns, township government residences and even villages in more developed tourism areas). Hotel. In highly seasonal places such as Mount Kailash and on the way to Medog (Tulu), there are simple inns from May to October every year.

Accommodation prices vary. Daily accommodation fees in small hotels are usually around 25 yuan. In a small place, you can usually live in a scattered bunkhouse for 10-15 yuan. Due to the lack of daily necessities in the Ali (Tu) area, accommodation prices are relatively high, usually between 20 and 30 yuan. Public shower rooms are usually found in hotels or on nearby streets.

When staying in a small hotel, you must be able to tolerate the smell of butter. For future trips, drink more butter tea to get used to it. In addition, don’t make a fuss if there are fleas, just crush them to death.

Wherever there are roads, there are road squads and military depots. If you plan to cycle or hike, you will inevitably stay in these places. The most obvious features of Daoban are one or two rows of bungalows and a large courtyard. Slogans about maintaining roads are written on the walls on both sides of the courtyard. The scale of the military depot will be much larger and the buildings will look neat.

There are only a few people in the Taoist class, and the dogs they keep will bark at you from afar. It’s not a big deal to get a cup of hot water here, and you can also make a bowl of instant noodles to eat. The accommodation conditions in Daoban are not very good. It is better to live in a cleaner place where the People's Disciples of the People's Army live, and maybe you can get free dinner or free breakfast. If you really can't stand the altitude sickness anymore, you can go to the military station to get some oxygen. The average cost of the Sichuan-Tibet Line in Sichuan should not exceed 10 yuan, and the military depot in Tibet usually costs 10-15 yuan.
