Only breakfasts are included in this trip. We are expected to pay for lunches and dinners on our own. Breakfast will be taken in the same place we stay for the night.

Our food will include Tibetan bread, dal (lentil soup), bhat (rice), tsampa porridge and other simple local foods.
We will be staying at Kyichu Hotel in Lhasa, Yeti Hotel in Gyantse, Gesar Hotel in Shigatse, Rongbuk Monastery Guest House in Rongbuk and Kyirong Hotel in Kyirong. The hotels in Lhasa, Gyantse and Shigatse are 2-3 star hotels, but due to their remote location the hotels in Rongbuk and Kyirong are very basic. It is also possible to upgrade to a better hotel in Lhasa but the accommodations in other cities and towns are the best available ones. All accommodations are on a twin-shared basis. Single supplement will be served on request and will cost 460 USD.
