Do not stay overnight at the Rongbuk Monastery. I took a trip with my fiancee to the Mt. Every Camp and visit the Rongbuk Monastery. We wished to watch the sunrise at the Monastery in the next day so we insisted on staying overnight there. Later, we regreted. There is only one guest house near the Monastery, the room is very small. Most awful thing is that, the room does not has the private rest room! We had to use the public rest room for shower! Breakfast at the hotel is very poor. We encountered another couple who came from Australia, they were also longing to watch the sunrise so they stayed at the hotel. Four of us all regreted but had to suffer a whole night. Worstly, we did not watch the sunrise as the weather in the next day turn out bad suddenly. :(
