Accomodation & Meals
TEA HOUSES
Tea houses are a lovely warm sanctuary to rest, relax and unwind at the end of the day. You will be welcomed in as family, the rooms are simple and basic but clean with twin beds or double bed in some lodges. Whenever possible we will provide you with an ensuite room, often available on the more popular trekking routes.
Most of the tea houses have hot water; however as they are solar showers, it can depend on the day’s weather the water temperature you will receive. In the evenings we choose dinner from an extensive menu and sip away on herbal teas or hot chocolate. The majority of tea houses offer amazing mountain views and weather permitting, you may encounter fantastic sun sets and moon rises over the majestic Himalayan peaks. During your tea house stay, your Himatrek staff may teach you a new card game, chat about Nepal and your home country and enjoy having a laugh and just getting to know you. Or you can simply relax, read a book or enjoy meeting up with other trekkers en route.
CAMPING
We generally only recommend camping trips when tea houses are not available as we endeavour to support the local communities by using their lodges. Our camping trips will pleasantly surprise you with the level of organisation and comfort provided. You will be escorted by a team of porters and guides. A cook and assistant cook will look after setting up your camp daily, cooking amazing meals, bringing you hot water to wash your face in the mornings and sending you to bed with a hot water bottle every night for extra comfort. Our camping treks are very intimate and you really get to know your Nepali crew. Being out in nature and watching the stars at night and the moon rise over the mountains is really something.
FOOD
Food will undoubtedly surpass your expectations on the trek. Whether you are on a tea house trek or a camping trek, you will have fresh vegetables usually picked straight from the garden that day and a high standard of hygenically prepared food with a lot of variety. Many of the tea house treks are known as the ‘apple pie trek’ and for good reason …..they are mouth watering.
