On a conventional trekking, your porter may be hours ahead of you booking lodges or setting tents or cooking. When you do Slow and easy trekking in Nepal with Holiday Tours Nepal you will have your own porter; who will trek near you in case you need a guiding hand on a wobbly bridge or just to get at your pack for a spare jumper or roll of film. When you trek with us you will stay in lodges in the local villages with beds, family cooking and solar hot showers (well, most days anyway). The accommodation varies in quality.
Some lodges have spacious double rooms with attached bathrooms but others are quite simple. They all have dry rooms with windows and doors that lock, foam mattresses and pillows, quilts if it is really cold, swept-clean floors and a place to hang washing or sweaty clothes. At higher altitudes, the dining room will have heating in the evening and good plain cooking both Nepali and Western. You will meet some lovely Nepali people at these lodges – and their kids as they are usually family-run.
