Accommodations During Chulu West Peak Climbing
Your accommodations in Kathmandu and Pokhara will be a 3-star standard category hotel on a twin/double sharing basis. While you are in the Annapurna Region during the trekking period, you will be sleeping in the best available guest houses or tea houses on a twin/sharing basis. The services will be very basic compared to the hotels in the cities but they offer a decent bed with a mattress, blanket, and pillow. Many of those guest houses do not have attached bathrooms and western-style toilets but some of the places such as Muktinath and Jomsom have those services.
If you prefer a single supplement service, we can manage them but only in the city areas at an additional cost and prior information. In fact, you can upgrade the hotel in Kathmandu and Pokhara with a few extra dollars. However, it is occasionally impractical while trekking in the mountains, especially during the peak seasons.
The accommodations we use during the climbing journey that start from the Chulu West Peak Base Camp is the tent lodging. It is also based on twin sharing and includes foam mattresses and sleeping bags. Toilet facilities will be available in the climbing portion with the appropriate natural preservation.
