Q4: What is the accommodation like?

In teahouse trekking, you get many lodges/ guesthouses in almost every village. Some are better than others, but generally rooms are basic and come with shared bathrooms. Blankets are provided but it’s a good idea to bring your own sleeping bag as it gets chilly in the higher altitude and there are no heating systems inside the buildings. Usually you have to dine at your lodge in order to get a room. Some places may offer hot gas showers for an additional fee, so take advantage of that while you can because above Manang you won’t get the chance to shower at all until you reach Muktinath, on the other side of the pass. There are also some of the newly opened routes like Khopra Danda, Mardi Himal Trek etc in Annapurna region where we need to stay in camps which is known as camping treks.

Normally, Annapurna trek packages are not very expensive because you don’t need to take the flights and some treks are short in days.

Most of lodges serve boiled and filter water which is safe.
