§ 03 · Life on the Trail
Two utterly different ways to sleep above 2,000 m.
The lodging system shapes the entire experience — what you eat, how you charge a phone, whether you sleep in your own room or next to twelve strangers. Know what you are signing up for.

"Soupe, plat, dessert. Lights out by ten."
Stone-built mountain refuges, often run by alpine clubs (CAF, SAC). You arrive, take off your boots, eat soup, drink wine, share a dorm. Quiet hours start at 22:00.

"Dal Bhat power · 24 hour."
Family-run lodges along the major routes. A common room heated by a yak-dung stove is the social center. Above 4,000 m, comfort drops sharply — but the hospitality does not.

§ 04 · Booking Notice
Book buffer days. The Lukla flight does not care about your itinerary.
Mountain flights — Kathmandu–Lukla in particular — are delayed or cancelled in any weather that isn't perfectly clear. Add 2 to 3 buffer days at the end of every Himalayan trip. Our booking flow will remind you again at checkout.
