The Rongbuk Monastery is built on the hill. It is a five-story architecture, but now only two-stories in use. It is the best place to view the Mt. Everest Peak. You could take unbelievable beautiful picture in front of the white pagoda together with Mt. Everest peak.
The other accommodation option at Everest Base Camp option is to stay at tent guesthouses owned by the local people. The rooms normally have 6 beds inside with plenty of blankets and boiled hot water provided. There is also a yak-dung stove to keep the room heated. Simple meals like instant coffee, noodles, pancakes, fried eggs can be served. So, generally speaking, the tent guesthouses would be more comfortable than the Rongbuk Guesthouse.

Guesthouse during trekking:
Accommodation during hiking is usually in shacks, sometimes in tents built by local Tibetans. The toilets are not indoors either. You need to go to public outdoor toilets. Of course, there is no double room or twin-sharing room, no electricity nor network. You can not charge here, so please make sure to bring your power bank during trekking.
All commodities are transported from other parts of Tibet. they took long journeys before they arrive the local tents in the Gandise mountains. So the prices are relatively expensive, and of course very few choices. Since there’s no light and no power after the sunset, please get ready to rest as soon as possible before it gets dark.
