The Tibetan Farmers Hotel... Shigatse


We arrived in Shigatse at about 8 at night. We wanted to stay at the Tenzin, but it was full. At this hour Pubu told us, we did not have many options for Tibetan owned hotels. We had been avoiding Chinese owned accomodations for our whole trip, and did not want to change that now. He took us to this place. It was basic and comfortable, if only because we knew we were with Tibetans. The shared bathrooms were among the most heinous in Tibet, but, luckily, they were all the way at the end of the courtyard from our room. And it was decorated and painted beautifully!!
