Accommodation is generally comfortable and typically in the 3*-4* range, with en-suite bathrooms available along the entire route and single rooms bookable on request. Outside central Tibet, infrastructure becomes increasingly remote and simple.

Western Tibet remains a high-altitude frontier region where occasional power cuts, limited heating or temporary infrastructure issues are simply part of everyday reality.

Conditions become more basic during the optional Mount Kailash kora hike itself, where simplicity and remoteness remain very much part of the experience.
