After the snowfall and the cold, the local hoteliers have closed the hotel in Rolwaling area for 3 months and went downhill.

Gaurishankar rural municipality-9 Beding and Chho-Rolpa village near Himtal have 22 hotels in operation. Due to the low number of tourists during the rainy season, some hotels are closed in June and July. There are also some homestays in Beding. Hotelier Davachiring Sherpa said that hotels in the area are fully operational for 7 months of the year. "Since the snow and cold will increase from November, we will close the hotel according to the rules," he said.
