#2: Rongbuk Monastery Hotel: Closest Stay with Everest Views from Your Room

Located along the way from the tent hotel area to the Everest summit viewpoints, Rongbuk Hotel offers the closest stay to Everest, with stunning views of the world’s highest peak from its rooms. Imagine that you have just gotten up, while brushing your teeth, glance up at the best view of Mount Everest, what a soul-stirring experience it is.

Is It safe to stay at Everest Base Camp?

Staying overnight at Everest Base Camp in Tibet is generally considered safe for most travelers. However, due to the high altitude, harsh environment, and limited facilities, it’s important to understand the risks and how to prepare for altitude sickness and cold temperatures at the base camp.

At around 5,000 meters above sea level, the oxygen level at the Everest Base Camp is only about half that of sea level. It is common to get a headache, dizziness, nausea, or trouble sleeping, which are typical symptoms of altitude sickness.

But don’t worry too much. Nowadays, the Rongbuk Hotel, tent hotels at Everest Base Camp, and local hotels in nearby villages all have oxygen supply equipment available.

Following our well-arranged Lhasa to Everest Base Camp tour itinerary, you’ll first acclimate to the plateau altitude in Lhasa, which is around 3,650 meters above sea level. Then, you’ll head to Shigatse and finally arrive at the Everest Base Camp. The entire itinerary avoids rushing the journey, allowing you to gradually acclimate to the altitude rise and minimize the discomfort that may occur upon arrival at Everest Base Camp.

Besides the high altitude, you also need to watch out for the cold temperatures. Even in summer, the temperature of Everest Base Camp at night can drop below freezing.

At present, the newly renovated Rongbuk Hotel and Everest Base Camp Tent Hotels are equipped with heating, offering a more comfortable stay for travelers.

So, with good preparation, gradual acclimatization, and a well-planned tour, it is safe to stay at Everest Base Camp. You’ll get to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience to view the glorious sunset and sunrise over Mount Everest.

What to Pack for an Overnight Staying at Everest Base Camp?

A sleeping bag is not necessary for sightseeing tours to Everest Base Camp in Tibet. The upgraded hotels at Everest Base Camp and the villages at the mountain foot all provide clean and comfortable bedding.

However, since there is no luxury lodging and no showers available at the base camp, it is recommended to bring your own toiletries and wet wipes for simple cleaning at night.

In addition, due to the unpredictable weather of Everest Base Camp in Tibet, it's essential to bring warm, windproof clothing such as down jackets, along with sun protection items like hats and sunglasses. Because the wind is strong and UV radiation is intense at the Everest Base Camp in Tibet.

To protect your skin from the dryness of the plateau climate, it’s a good idea to bring skincare essentials like lip balm and moisturizing cream to stay comfortable.

More Insider Tips for A Safe and Enjoyable Stay at Everest Base Camp

Everest Base Camp in Tibet is accessible all year round, but the best time to visit Everest Base Camp is April, May, June, September, October, and November. During these months, the temperatures are relatively mild with less rainfall. So, you can get the best chances to enjoy the spectacular summit of Mt. Everest and the majestic Himalayas.

Traveling to Everest Base Camp in winter is also possible. In the past, only the Rongbuk Hotel was open during winter. However, since the newly upgraded tent hotels are expected to remain open during winter months as well, you may have more accommodation options for Everest Base Camp tours this winter.

It is suggested to book your Everest Base Camp tour at least 21 days in advance, so that you can apply for the Tibet Travel Permit and other necessary travel documents in time.

In peak season from July to early October, due to the limited accommodation capacity of the base camp, early booking can also ensure a room for you at the base camp. Otherwise, you may need to stay in the town and the village at the foot of the mountain. This may miss the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful sunset and sunrise of Mount Everest.

Although lodge conditions are continuously improving, please be aware that accommodations and services in the Everest region are still limited compared to those in lower-altitude areas of Tibet. It is better to set lower expectations and embrace the local conditions with understanding.
