Drinking Water and a Hot Shower in the ABC Trek

The water from the sources along the way is unsafe to drink. So, we suggested not to drink directly from the top. Bottle of the water is available to buy throughout the way. The best idea is to bring your refillable bottles along with water sanctification tablets to help against the threat of waterborne diseases. You can fill the water at the teahouse along the trip whereas boiled water is also available with minimum charges. still, we discourage buying mineral bottled water that helps to produce plastic pollution in the mountains.

Electricity/water/Wi-Fi/charging in the Annapurna Base Camp Trek Route.

Wi-Fi and Electricity are available in the tea houses in the lower zones of the Annapurna Himal journey. The trekkers can recharge while maintaining an active social media. There may be an extra charge of over $3 for wi-fi and charging stations at the tea houses. There is no electricity facility after the lower side only solar power is available, which can bring you around $3 to charge your phone and other electronics. There are 2 common networks in Nepal (NTC and NCELL) which you buy for 1.5 to 3 USD. Both work in Annapurna Himal but in base camp NTC is better than NCELL. When you are at a higher altitude it will be hard to access the mobile network, Wi-Fi, and electricity. We advise hikers to travel with interim power banks.

Exchange Currency and ATM facilities during the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Along the Annapurna Base Camp journey, get-to ATM establishments are constrained, especially as you wander into the visiting course. Due to cutting-edge innovation traveling is more available than ever in terms of carrying money for day-by-day nourishment, and shopping charges. When you are traveling to Nepal, you don’t need to stress about this money. Since you are swapping the Nepal money and ATM establishments you can alter your cash through cash trade counters, commercial Banks, and authorized lodges. Every day trade rates are settled by the Nepal Rastra Bank. The trade rate changes from time to time.

You can discover ATMs in all major cities and on the roadways. You can draw neighborhood cash through your credit and charge card. ATM limits the sum of cash you can take out per day the withdrawal constrain is NPR 25,000 (approx. USD 180) and the single-day restrain is NPR 60,000 (Approx. USD 500). If it's not too much trouble keep in mind the neighborhood bank will charge around USD 5 per deal as a bank benefit charge for each withdrawal.

Tipping Culture in Nepal

In Nepal, tipping is not mandatory. Those who are happy with someone’s benefit can grant as they like a few tips. There is not a solid tipping culture in Nepal but Mount Glory Treks recommends a minimum of 10 % of your total trip budget.

Tourists are as often as possible confounded around how vital to tip their guide and porter upon wrapping up a trip. Tips depend on a variety of variables, such as the happiness of the guests, the number of trekking days, the estimate of the group, and the trouble of the visiting route.

Tips are also considered a token of cherish and appreciation from the visitors. Most hiking guides and porters depend on tipping from their visitors to get motivated.

 

Clients Reviews

  • rating starRecommended service.

    We signed up for a 10-day ABC trek for a group of 6.

    As we were a group of semi-veterans yet still fit for the tour, both Santosh and Amrit and their team of porters ensured every arrangement detail was taken care of.

    Santosh and Amrit were knowledgeable in every aspect of the trek to ensure we could indulge in the trek at our body’s optimum level.

    They were always in control to make sure things stayed as planned with a bit of leeway for for jokes and fun, of course.
