Tea-House Trek :

The development of locally managed lodges along the popular trekking trails in the Annapurna, Everest and Langtang/Helambu areas have resulted in an increasing number of trekkers making use of these facilities. In recent years with the help of Government as well non-Government agencies many of these lodge owners have gone through training programmes aimed at raising the quality of services as well as instilling environmental awareness.  Most lodges have all the basic requirements for trekkers to stay overnight - a dormitory, several private rooms, an attached restaurant, toilet and a shower room. The quality of food offered may vary from lodge to lodge but most serve simple and hygienic meals.

Clan Treks has found it very attractive for trekkers to use these lodges in some of the routes instead of operating camping style treks. One of the main reason being that along these popular routes almost every house offers bed and meals and many camping trekkers find it incongruous to camp near a lodge and not be able to experience the warmth and hospitality of the friendly Nepali hosts. The other important reasons being that this helps the local economies directly by using the facilities along the route.

Keeping this in mind we have been operating Lodge-Treks in some of these classic routes. To make sure that our guests do not get disappointed we stay in simple yet comfortable and interesting lodge in each place. With larger groups we reserve all the beds in a lodge thus making sure that we have the place to ourselves. Our groups are provided with an excellent Guide and porters - possibly from the area you are trekking in - to guide you and carry your luggage while you hike only with a day-pack. Majorities of our Lodge Trekkers have been overwhelmed by the homely atmosphere and the grace of their hosts and many have made great friends with them.

If you have an urge to trek in some of the most beautiful places in Nepal, interact and make friends with the local people without having to sleep in a cold and lonely tent, Lodge Trekking is just the thing for you. Make sure you are with Clan Treks and we will make sure that you have a memorable time without having to spend a small fortune.

A fully organized camping trek:

A fully organized trek is one which is self sufficient. There are guides, cooks, sherpas and porters to take care of all the technical and logistical aspect of the trip. All food and camping equipment is provided. Porter carry everything, including your personal gear. All you have to do is walk with your camera, meet the local people, take in the breathtaking views, and eat three hearty meals a day ! You trust your diet to cooks who can bake cake on the hillside stove.

We can camp at "wilderness" sites away from the main trails, a fact you will particularly appreciate especially when awakened by the kitchen hand armed with a steaming mug of tea- there’s nothing better than snuggling in your sleeping bag looking out at the first rays of sun of the peaks.
We will recommend you to make this type of trek if you are doing trek to non tourist area where there are no hotel.
