This is probably the most popular method of trekking, as it provides basic accommodation and nutritious food, without having to brave a night’s camping while simultaneously not blowing your trip’s budget. On such treks, you’ll stay in family run lodges, in which trekkers congregate in the evenings over a beer or a cup of hot Nepali chiyya, swap stories and plan new adventures. Standards vary along different routes, but your guide will be able to advise you about the best places to stay.
