The Tent Guesthouses will provide you once-in-a-lifetime experience to spend the night – in the shadow of Mount Everest. Located near Rongbuk Monastery, there are many tents operated by different Tibetan nomads. Some tents are divided into two or three compartments, and some tents have only one room. The tents with single room are made of yak hair. These yak hair tenements are surprisingly robust and comfortable, as the yak hair can withstand both downpours and strong sunshine. In every tent, facilities include water bottle, power sockets, tables, and stoves. There are about 10 beds in one tent and you have to share one room with other tourists. There is no big restaurant nearby, but paid basic food is provided by the owners of these guesthouses. In case that the food is not good enough for you, it is recommend to prepare some food or snacks before visiting Mount Everest. In this tent village, only one rather rough toilet without washing area outside the tents and you need to pay for it.

Opening Time

The Tent Guesthouses are only available from late April to early October because the owners will leave for home during the extremely cold winter. The availability depends on the weather and volume of tourists. If the tent village is absent or you prefer an independent room, it is available to accommodate at Rongbuk Monastery Guesthouse.
