Set in Kerung town (Gyirong) at around 2,700 m, this hotel sits in the border settlement on the Tibetan side of the Nepal–Tibet frontier, the standard first overnight for travelers crossing in from Rasuwagadhi and the last comfortable stop before the long climb onto the Tibetan plateau.
The setting is lower and warmer than anywhere else in the Kailash itinerary, with a softer climate and the sound of border-river country through the valley. The hotel itself is a comfortable, town-class property with proper rooms, attached bathrooms, and Wi-Fi — a useful pause for crossing-day rest, paperwork, and the first night's acclimatization before the road climbs to Saga and beyond.
