Annapurna Base Camp teahouses offer twin shared rooms with two single beds, basic bedding, thin plywood walls, and no in-room heating. Bringing your own sleeping bag is highly recommended for warmth and hygiene, especially at higher altitudes like Machapuchare Base Camp (MBC) and ABC, where nights can be very cold.
Bathrooms are usually shared and may feature Western or squat toilets. Some lower villages, such as Ghorepani and Chhomrong, may offer attached Western-style bathrooms, but these are rare higher on the trail.
Hot showers are generally available for an extra cost (NPR 150–500 / $1–$4 USD). At higher elevations, hot water may be limited or unavailable due to frozen pipes or reliance on solar power.
Teahouses also include a communal dining hall, often heated by a wood-burning stove in the evenings. This area serves as the main social hub and is usually the only place to charge devices for an additional fee.
Tips for Annapurna Base Camp Teahouses:
-
Bring a warm sleeping bag for cold nights.
-
Carry cash in small denominations for showers and charging devices.
-
Expect basic facilities at higher elevations.
