Info: Hotels in Annapurna Base Camp Trek
The tourism entrepreneurs have informed us that the construction work of the hotels around Annapurna Base Camp has been completed and they will re-open on August 18 of this year.
All the hotels of the Hotels were shut down due to the heavy snowfall which had destructed the hotel and after its construction it will be operated from 18th of August. Hotel entrepreneur of Annapurna Base Camp JB Gurung said that there was delay in the construction work as there was difficulty in bringing the materials required and they had to bring the necessary materials through donkeys, helicopters and potters.
All hotels in the area had been shut down since March this year following heavy snowfall, which destroyed four hotels in the area beyond repair, said Gopal Shrestha, a spokesperson for the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal (TAAN). Around 4 million rupees have been invested while re-constructing the hotels.
According to TAAN, trekkers had to find accommodation and food at Machhapuchhre Basecamp before heading to Annapurna. With the opening of the hotels, trekkers can directly go to Annapurna Base Camp. A hotel in the area can accommodate up to 50 people during the peak season.
