What are the tea houses like?

Tea houses, in Nepali known as Bhatti, cater freshly cooked meals and accommodation for the night. Originally, teahouses were little shops where trekkers could take a break for a rest and a cup of tea. Gradually, as more and more visitors start to discover the mountains in Nepal, these teahouses have established into complete lodges offering meals and accommodation to trekkers. And it’s not only a place where you will be served tea. It’s also where you will get home-prepared meals and where you can spend the night.

Mostly, teahouses are simple stone or wood buildings that lodge communal kitchen, with a common dining hall, a bathroom area and a number of basic bedrooms with twin beds and a table. Most teahouses are built particularly to host trekkers, however, some in the more secluded region are family homes.
