# Annapurna Base Camp Accommodation: Teahouses and Rooms

Most trekkers stay in locally operated teahouses with twin rooms and shared dining areas. Comfort is generally better in Nayapul and Ghorepani, while rooms and bathrooms become more basic higher up. Bedrooms are usually unheated even when the dining room has a stove.

**Twin rooms**Most common

**Shared**Many bathrooms

**Unheated**Most bedrooms

**Extra cost**Shower and charging

## What changes with altitude

Swipe to view table →

| Area | Typical standard | Planning note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Nayapul and Tikhedhunga | Wide lodge choice; some attached bathrooms | Good place to reorganize luggage |
| Ghorepani | Best range of upgraded rooms, cafés and services | Book early in peak weeks |
| Chhomrong to Himalaya | Mostly simple twin rooms and shared facilities | Hot water and charging usually cost extra |
| Deurali and Machhapuchhre Base Camp | Basic rooms, limited water and high demand | Warm sleeping bag is essential |

## Rooms, toilets and showers

Rooms normally contain two beds, foam mattresses, pillows and blankets. Bring or rent a suitable sleeping bag because lodge blankets alone may not be enough at high altitude.

Toilets range from Western-style to squat and may not flush when water freezes. Carry toilet paper and hand sanitiser. Hot showers are available at many stops for an extra fee, but washing becomes less practical in severe cold.

## Reservations and lodge etiquette

- Use the lodge dining room for meals when staying there; room rates often assume food will be purchased on site.

- Keep noise low in early mornings and pack before bedtime when possible.

- Ask before charging multiple high-capacity devices and pay the posted fee.

- Peak-season reservations help, but weather delays can still force changes to the planned lodge.

## Choose the route that fits the day you have

Before you book or set out for accommodation, keep these details visible in the plan: Most common: Twin rooms; Many bathrooms: Shared; Most bedrooms: Unheated; Shower and charging: Extra cost

For this accommodation guide, the right choice depends on the hardest stage, the highest sleeping point, transport exposure and the time left after a delay. Read the route as a sequence of decisions rather than as a list of attractions.

- Write down the start, finish, overnight stops and fallback for the key day.

- Protect recovery and departure time before adding another stop.

- Ask the operator to explain what changes when weather, health or access disrupts the plan.

## Check the day-to-day fit

For this accommodation guide, compare the actual start, finish, overnight stops, longest day, highest sleeping point and transport exposure. For Accommodation on Annapurna Base Camp, two routes with similar names can feel completely different once stairs, road delays, weather and recovery time are included.

Ask what the group does when the main viewpoint, pass, road or lodge is unavailable on this accommodation plan. For Accommodation on Annapurna Base Camp, a good itinerary shows a lower or slower alternative and protects time before the next flight or international connection.

- Choose the route that matches the group's real pace.

- Protect a buffer before a critical departure.

- Ask how an early finish or changed route affects cost and transport.
