Lodges of Nepal

 

Nepal is the abode of the Himalayas and every year you will find thousands of trekkers and tourists visiting this region. Tourists that visit the region stay in the locally managed lodges that are along the popular trekking trails in the Annapurna, Everest and Langtang/ Helambu regions of Nepal. Over the years there have been an increasing number of trekkers that make use of these facilities.

 

In the past years with the help of the Government as well as non Government agencies many of the lodge owners have undertaken training programs that are targeted at raising the quality of services as well as instilling environmental awareness in them.

 

When it comes to instilling environmental awareness, the Annapurna Sanctuary is an example. There is a regulation for all lodge owners to use alternative fuel other than firewood, kerosene, gas, electric or even solar for cooking and heating. They need to dispose their garbage properly and adopt environment friendly measures. Most of the lodges have all the basic requirements that cater to overnight stay by the trekkers. The basic requirements that are provided to the trekkers include a dormitory, several rooms, an attached restaurant, a toilet and a shower room. The lodge needs to serve clean and hygienic food however the quality of the food may differ from lodge to lodge.

 

There are many getaway eco treks that offer trekkers attractive facilities to use these lodges in certain routes instead of operating in camping style treks. One of the main reasons for the cropping up of such lodges is that along the popular routes almost every house offers a traveler the provision of a bed and meals. There are many camping trekkers that find it inappropriate to camp near a lodge and not experience the warmth and the hospitality of warm and friendly Nepali hosts. The other important reason is that this helps the local economies also as the facilities are used along the routes.

 

There are lodge treks in some classic routes and this ensures that the guests do not get disappointed by the facilities that are offered. The tourists can stay in simple and comfortable lodges. With the larger groups you get the opportunity of reservations and excellent guide and porter service. These porters and guides will help you throughout your trek and they will also carry your luggage while you hike with only a day pack on your back. The hospitality and the friendly service that is offered is overwhelming and many trekkers have become great friends with their hosts.

With the help of these lodges you will be able to view and see the most beautiful places in Nepal. You have the opportunity to interact and make friends with the local people without the need to sleep in cold and lonely tents. With this you can have a memorable time without having to spend a great fortune. So the next time you want to come to Nepal and get the feel of its beauty and nature all you need to do is get into a friendly lodge and avail its value added services while you trek on this Himalayan abode.
