    Asked on November 27th, 2023

    What is the price of the single room supplement on the 17 day full moon tour? And is the single room available at every location?

      Single room is available at every location, we will arrange travelers to stay in 3-star hotel in Lhasa and Shigatse, but only guesthouses are available on the way to Everest Base Camp and Mt.Kailash as these places are located very far from big cities.
