Gyirong Hotel & Hostel - Where to Live in Gyirong Town

29 September 2017 Last updated at 16:48

International overland travel between Tibet and Nepal through Gyirong Port is a quite long journey for a 7~8 hours’ drive from Kathmandu to Gyirong Port or over 10 hours from Lhasa, Mt.Everest and Mt.Kailash to Gyirong. To think about the transportation convenience and travel comfort when travelling from Nepal to Tibet, get accommodation in Gyirong Town where is only 25km from Gyirong Town and 73km from Gyirong County in Shigatse is a good stopover. This small town was newly built with clean and tidy neighborhoods and offers some options for eating and lodging, and even Agricultural Bank of China. Living condition in remote border town here is not excellent as you had in well-developed cities, still you can have a good rest.
