Accomodation.
The accommodations are chosen based on climbing itinerary, comfort level, budget and interests of trekkers and accessibility in terms of scenery and trail. Most arrangements are made on a Bed & Breakfast basis in deluxe – star hotels in cities. Depending upon your interests, a wide range of hotels are available in city areas such as Kathmandu, Pokhara, etc. During the trekking trail, there are plenty of lodges, teahouses, guesthouses and sometimes even hotels for accommodation. A teahouse/lodge trek offers simple to moderate facilities, with simple beds, solar-powered hot water and a limited set of cuisines/meals. During the climbing period, you will be staying in camps/tents and food will be prepared by your kitchen staff in camping sites.

For this peak climbing we offer three types of accommodation, ‘3-Star Hotel’ in the city, ‘Tea Houses/Lodges’ in the trekking trail and ‘Camping’ during the trekking trail. City accommodation will be arranged in Double/ Twin Sharing basis in Deluxe hotel on bed & breakfast plan. We look at the conditions of the inns, local hygiene, quality of food, type of service and more. The location for camping is identified and chosen by trekking Sherpas and the decision is based on pre-designed itinerary and other features including views and accessibility. Camping will include camping tent, dining tent, kitchen tent, toilet tent, sleeping bags, mattress etc. Please let us know beforehand if you exchange double/twin sharing beds for single beds. The availability of beds also depends on seasonality with limited choices available in peak season.

Foods
Major cities in Nepal have no shortage of restaurants, bars and great eateries where you will be able to eat any local or international dishes. The dining experience in cities is of international standards and quality. The choices become limited once you enter the trekking trail. In contrast, there might not be as much variety of cuisines available on the trekking trail. Trekking lodges and small eateries along the trail will offer you basic diets such as Nepali Dal Bhat, sandwich, apple pie and pizza and regular beverages. During the climbing period, our field staff will carry food throughout the trail and will prepare meals and beverages in the camping site. The menu is pre-designed and attached to the program itinerary and shared with you for confirmation before the trekking program begins. Water will be provided for our guests in boiled and purified form.

For this peak climbing we offer you full board (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner) during the trekking trail and climbing period as per menu. Please note that full board meals are not included during your transition stay in city areas, guests will have to pay for the meals (dinner and lunch), alcohol, hot & cold beverages and mineral water.
