GENERAL NOTES:

* POWER:
Inverters gives limited back up power (usually for lights, not plugs).
Generators usually gives full electricity but can be noisy. Some hotels with a generator will use
it only at certain hours (usually to cover evening load shedding/power outages.)

* HOT WATER
Solar hot water gives limited hot water but during the winter months this is usually only for a
few hours in the afternoon.
Solar combined with electric should give hot water in the afternoons and at night when there is
no load shedding/power outages.
24 hot water should in theory give hot water all the time but be warned, even this may
be unpredictable.

* RATES
Prices, especially in the small guest houses are subject to inflation or fluctuations (often on the
whim of the particular staff member one speaks to,) so the prices here cannot be guaranteed.
Taxes: Where the rates exclude the 13% VAT and the 10% service charge, these additions
are cumulative (ie. add the VAT first and then the service charge on top.)
Always ask for a discount, mention if you are studying at the White Gompa (RYI), or if you
are staying for an extended period of time. It doesn’t hurt to ask, and many of these
Hotels/Guest Houses will offer a special discount.
