Extra Facilities

  • Electricity and Charging: Electricity and charging facilities are available in most teahouses. However, charging your smartphones and cameras might come at a small cost.

Nepal Annapurna Base Camp Trek Food

The ABC trekking circuit brings you a variety of Nepali food. In this culinary adventure, you can enjoy the Nepali staple Dal Bhat (lentil soup with rice and seasonal vegetables), momo (dumplings), and Sherpa stew at teahouses. You will be amazed by the vast variety of food available in the Himalayas during the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. As per the menu, you can order from continental to Chinese food, including global favorites like Pizza, pasta, and hamburgers. Your food also includes nutritious high-altitude meals like garlic soup that minimize the risks of altitude sickness. 

Drinking Water on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Drinking water is available throughout the trek. Rest stops and teahouses offer drinking water, but ensure it is clean. 

For clean water, you can buy bottled water. This can be expensive and cause harm to the environment. So, we encourage you to bring your own reusable bottle and purification tools like iodine tablets and water purifiers. Alternatively, you can purchase boiled water at a teahouse. This can cost you extra, but it is cheaper than bottled water.
