ACCOMMODATION
In a standard category hotel (base: double room) in Kathmandu and Pokhara, during the rest of the trip in a tent (3-person tents for 2 people) or in a lodge depending on the trip. The lodges in Nepal are very comfortable random. In general, conditions are quite good around the Annapurnas and the Everest region. On the other hand, in Mustang, in the Manaslu, Tsum valley, and in the region of Kangchanjung or Makalu, they can be very rudimentary to the point of being a dormitory sometimes even a kitchen. lodges can look like a refuge or sometimes a bed and breakfast from home. Most of the time it is a family house with double, triple, or dormitory rooms. Toilets and showers are always separate.
MEAL
In the cities, many restaurants allow us to discover the typical local cuisine. Meat is scarce in the high mountain, the Nepalese are generally vegetarians. The basic ingredients are rice, pasta, lentils, potatoes, and vegetables. Snacks are included during the trek (cereal bars, dried fruits, etc.).
For camping trek accommodation: during the trek, breakfasts and evening meals are prepared by the kitchen team. They are taken under the mess tent. Depending on the profile of the stages (length of the day’s walk and/or presence of water), midday snacks will be served hot or cold in the form of picnics.
For tea house trek accommodation: meals are prepared by the cooks of the lodge and are taken in the dining room. Here is a typical one-day menu:
breakfast: eggs, toast or chapati, or Tibetan bread or pancakes, or pancakes, butter/jam, tea or coffee
lunch: the main course, tea or coffee.
dinner: soup, main course, fruit (fresh or canned), tea or coffee
NB: Hindus and Buddhists are most often vegetarians. We, therefore, eat very little meat or fish. The dishes are pasta, rice, potatoes, lentils, etc.
DRINKS: during the trek, tea is served with meals (two cups of tea per meal). Additional cups of tea and other beverages, including mineral water, are the responsibility of the participants. You can fill your gourds with water in the lodges, but it is essential to treat them with purifying tablets.

Tent Peak climbing
Tent Peak 5663m is one of the popular trekking peaks in the Annapurna range. One of the most frequent and beautiful climbing adventures in Nepal because it is an extension of the most famous moderate trek of Nepal, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Tent Peak also is known as the Tharpu Chuli peak. The Tharpu Chuli expedition is physically not as challenging as climbing Mera peak or island Peaks. We climb the standard Northwest ridge.
The adventure tent peak starts with Nayapul. This is the trip starting point in the Annapurna base camp. Our trekking trip passes through interesting terraced farmland, rhododendron forests, and many different ethnic villages. We cross the sparkling water of the Modi Khola several times. We climb up to both Machapuchare and Annapurna base camps, a thrilling experience before we set up our
camp for our Tharpu Chuli climbing there are some steep and ridge climbing that make this climb very interesting and adventurous. The view from the summit is one of the best Himalayan vistas. The stunning Annapurna Sanctuary offers a spectacular panorama view of many 7000 and 8000 m Himalayan peaks including Annapurna I, III, and South, Hiunchuli, Baraha Shikhar, Khangshar Kang, Tarke Kang, and Gangapurna.
