In Kathmandu, you’ll enjoy a comfortable stay at a 3-star hotel. During the trekking portion of your journey, you’ll find lodgings in tea houses, which are traditional lodges or guesthouses. These tea houses, as they were fondly named by trekkers and climbers over 40 years ago, have evolved to offer not only tea but also delicious meals and cozy bedrooms for travelers. While the facilities may vary from village to village due to the remote, high-altitude locations, some may have attached bathrooms and hot water, while others offer basic amenities. In some cases, you’ll even find dormitory-style accommodations. Despite these variations, rest assured that you’ll be provided with a comfortable bed, pillow, blanket, and bedsheet, although you should bring your own sleeping bag.
Accommodation Breakdown:
- Kathmandu: 3 Nights
- Mountain Teahouse/Guesthouse: 10 Nights

Travel Insurance:
Given that you’ll be trekking in high-altitude regions, travel insurance is an essential requirement.

Your insurance policy should cover medical expenses, helicopter evacuation from altitudes of 5,000 to 6,000 meters, and other health-related contingencies. Please provide a copy of your insurance policy to our company, as this information will be crucial in case of mountain rescue operations.
