• Facilities: These lodges offer comfortable accommodation with basic facilities, a dining area for meals, and often a warm bonfire for relaxing in high-altitude regions.

You will never go hungry on a tea house trek! The main staple is the traditional Nepali dish, Dal Bhat Tarkari (boiled rice, lentil soup, and vegetable curry/pickle), available at every tea house, lodges and hotels at the trekking routes.
