On the more established trekking routes it is possible to use 'Teahouse / Lodge' accommodation instead of camping. This saves the cost of larger Sherpa crews and extra porters for carrying the mess, toilet tents and camping equipment. We provide necessary porter age to enable you to trek with just a day pack. On big teahouse trekking group, each day a Sherpa will go ahead of the party to secure the best accommodation available. 'Teahouses' and Lodge vary in size and quality, with many being excellent mini hotels. After Namche Bazaar, Manang, or Chomrong above 3,500m in some places the teahouses are very simple but cosy with bunk beds in one large dormitories.
