ACCOMODATION

Yuksam has a wide range of places to stay, ranging from the remarkably cheap (but very basic) trekkers hut to the top-end hotels. Most places are decent and spotless and have a shared or private attached bathroom. Prices range from 50 Rupees to 1400 Rupees per night (not inclusive of food). It is important to enquire about the reliability and cost of the hot water and heating, especially during winter.

For people looking for adventure, one can pitch a tent at the camping grounds available. Both camping grounds have shared bathrooms. You may need a tent, sleeping bag and cooking equipment (this might not be necessary as food is cheap and easily accessible).

The list of accommodation is listed below. For more information, please contact the numbers listed or contact 'Mountain Rangers Tours and Trek'.
