There are more than 55 lodges along the trek route most of the lodges are run by the Annapurna ethnic cast of Gurung and Magar families unless people specify a preference for tents.
Every teahouse has a central communal area with a large stove that provided heat and a cozy atmosphere. The bedrooms are unheated and generally have two beds with mattresses, pillows, and blankets but we highly recommend you will need to bring a personal sleeping bag (3 seasons is normally enough). The lodges-teahouses generally have showers that ate powered by gas and they mostly use sit-down flush toilets, some lodges do also have squat toilets.
You can take a hot shower during this trek but they will charge extra costs besides the room bill. Accommodations are generally perfect and clean along the Annapurna base camp trek but the lack of many accommodations after the Chomrung village sometimes requires advance room booking in peak trek season.
