We originally were booked into a hotel in new tingri and ended up in old tingri. My god what a shock to the system. While we had power all night no running water and no heating and minus 9 at night. Although where else can you wake up and walk out of your room and look at Mount Everest .... More

I am sure that the below reviews are correct from what we saw. But when we arrived, we arranged to get their best rooms - I think their are 4 of them and they proved to be adaquate. The rooms only has electricity in the evenings, and no heat. But very adaquate bedding to keep warm at night. The restaurant... More

This is not a good spot to stay - worst hotel I have ever been to and I have travelled a fair bit in poorer countries. After being shown room, we asked our guide and driver to drive to the next town. After a late lunch at this hotel(which wasn't too bad except for the beggars constantly coming in with... More

Excerpts taken directly from our travelogue web site: It took us a little while to find someone who spoke English at the Snow Leopard but eventually we succeeded. We were shown two twin rooms that were side by side. Sure enough they had toilets, a sink and a bath. There was also a TV and the rooms were much warmer... More

More correctly known as “Snow Leopard Guest House” A somewhat mediocre establishment but maybe the best in this area. Rooms were dame, don’t hold you breath waiting for hot water (or any water for that matter). Room had a western style toilet but it was blocked! Carpets were damp. However, the restaurant was not too bad with some cute English... More

It's a strange place at the Friendship Highway half a mile east of 'downtown' Tingri. When you stood in a couple of other places around, this is not the worst! But it doesn't mean it's good. It starts with a missing door handle, vacuum cleaners seems to be unknown - it's not the carpet but lints below your feet -... More

This is your only option if you are headed towards Nepal and have just visited Everest. Our guide made sure we had a "newer" room. You have to remember where you are. This is not a luxurious trip by any means. The location is amazing. To be able to stand outside your bedroom door and see Mount Everest is awesome.... More

Tingri is out in the middle of nowhere so don't expect much. There is no heat in the hotel. The shower is communal. The hotel is completely dark at night, so bring a flashlight or head lamp. The restaurant is decent. They give you a thermos of hot water when you arrive. Some of the hotel rooms can be difficult... More

We slept in this hotel the very last day of our stay in Tibet. The first room they gave us had a dirty WC with a bad surprise inside it... after I tried to flush it, the WC was completely choked...! We complained with the staff and they changed our room with another one. The other room wasn't better from... More

Can't add much more than other reviews have said. If you're on the ascent from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp, there's not many other options as it is from here that you will turn off the Friendship highway on your way to Base Camp. Having said that, if you're not going to base camp, keep driving!! Rooms were simply furnished... More
