Room in 'Tibetan Delhi'?

breeb · Dec 3rd, 2003, 18:39

Heya,
can anyone recommend a really budget place to stay around the tibetan settlement in Delhi? I'm thinking like four walls a roof and some smiles.
Thanks a lot.

I guess you are talking about the Majnu-Ka-Tila area. The Norbu Guesthouse seems to be very popular with foreigners. There are a lot of new places coming up everyday. It is better to arrive and check out the places yourself. Some of them have a nice garden to sit out etc.

sorry I had got the name a little mixed up...it is the Wangdhen Guesthouse.

Are you still confused, mountaingirl? My guess is that you're referring to Wongdhen House.

Rick.... are you sure it is spelled like that? becuz I had a visiting card that read the way I typed it..
You know how it is with writing non-english names in English..

Wongdhen House
tel 91-11-2381 6689
fax 91-11-2381 8962 (taken from the last issue of Tibetan Review)
There is a email adress as well , but last time I got no response.
Popular among Tibetans : the day I signed in I seemed to be the only non-Tibetan (the next day a Japanese group arrived).

Cheers for the info. How much do they charge per night do you remember?

The official rates are around Rs. 250-900 depending on the type and location of the room. Certainly not the cheapest in MKT, but one of the best, in my experience.

Friends,
I paid 225 for a double recently but a friend of mine got a room on the roof for just over 100 (shared facilities). In my opinion it's a great place to stay although a little far away from Delhi centre.
