Sleep
Two hotels are available - the Everest View Hotel and the Benba Hotel. Several Tibetan inns are also available - Amdo Guesthouse, Dingri Sunshine Hotel, Himalaya Hotel, Lao Dengre Hotel, and Rong Sha Hotel. The best of the bunch are Amdo Guesthouse and Lao Dengre Hotel since they have very nice Tibetan teahouses with carpeted floors and low to the floor seating. East of town is the Everest Snowleopard Hotel, a Tibetan style inn, which houses group tours.
