Camping trek (Tented):
During the tented trek, you are completely independent.
You will sleep in a two men tent and throughout
the trip your personal cook will prepare fresh
food especially for you. A guide and porters
will accompany you and often, in the evenings,
they provide the entertainment by singing and
playing music. This is a much more traditional
way of trekking and it is more interesting in
remote areas. The advantages of this kind of
trek are: greater privacy compared to lodge
dormitories, a better quality of meals and meaning
of full of satisfaction of the real trekking
trip.
Teahouse trek (Lodge):
Lodges is a kind of rustic mountain inn and
are an exceptional way to enjoy the trekking
experience. They are the combination of guesthouse,
restaurant, and social hang out. During the
lodge trek, you will have dormitory or separate
rooms. All lodge provide a bed and blanked to
keep you warm and comfortable. We provide your
food prepared by the lodge people is an excellent
way to experience the local food and culture
in the shared dining room. There is also a terrific
atmosphere in the lodge in the evenings, chatting
about the day's adventures and meeting new people.
Lodge owners and staff can often become involved
in this and it is a great way to learn about
their culture. This gives the trek that true
adventure feel.
A guide and porters taking care of your personal
belongings. Every porter will be carrying maximum

We encourage all trekkers along the Everest,
Langtang, and Annapurna treks to try our teahouse
treks. Our many years of experience along these
routes have helped us find the friendliest,
cleanest, and most enjoyable teahouses with
the best views.
Adventure Thirdpole Treks has specifically
selected, where available, lodges that employ
environmentally sound practices including the
utilization of solar energy. It is always our
preference to stay in accommodation that is
practicing good eco-tourism principles and this
is very important to us here at Adventure Thirdpole
Treks.
Most teahouses have running water. Many have
hot water available for bathing. But we discourage
our groups from using water heated by wood fires
due to lack of firewood in most villages. Deforestation
is big environmental concerns in Nepal. They
are also a great way to help and support to
local villages.
