Types of Trekking in Nepal
Tea Houses are local lodges where you get to eat and sleep during your trek. Going on a tea house trek means that you will sleep in these types of accommodations. Teahouses will provide bedding and food. The quality of the teahouses depends but can be quite basic.
Most of the popular trekking routes of Nepal like Annapurna, Everest, Langtang or Helambu areas have tea-house lodges in different milestones. According to the experiences shared by regular visitors and local people, the standards of food and stay have improved remarkably over the past few years in many of these houses. There are many travel agencies in Nepal that offers well budgeted teahouses offering clean accommodations and good food, with the trek guided by an English-speaking Sherpa guide. The presence of teahouses in regular intervals have also eased a burden from the trekkers to carry many supplies, such as tents, towels, food, cooking utensils and so on. Hence, teahouse type trekking allows the trekkers to plan their trek at their own pace, set their own schedule and experience the real life and culture of the rural area.
This is a relatively cheap way of trekking where meals and accommodation are provided in very affordable Tea Houses along the route. This is quite a popular method for enjoying the many treks in Nepal and Tea Houses can be found along many of the trails. Meals depend on the menu at the tea house which usually consists of simple, basic meals of the local people. Although many tea houses and hotels in the hills and mountains are reasonably comfortable, some may be more ‘rustic’ than others so be sure to have a look before you agree to stay the night. Staying at a Tea House is a great way to connect with some of the local culture and definitely suits trekkers not wanting to carry their own food and camping gear. Tea Houses can be found on the following treks: Everest base camp Trek, Annapurna base camp Trekking, Annapurna Circuit Trek, Langtang Valley Trek, Helambu valley Trek and Mustang Trek.
