Descending the mountains from Annapurna Base Camp
As I understand from the mountain guide, there are three types of packages when trekking in Annapurna Base Camp trek:
(a) Bed only (breakfast, lunch and dinner are paid as one eats);
(b) Bed and breakfast (lunch and dinner are paid as one eats);
(c) Full board (includes all meals, hot water drink and bath).
All the above packages include mountain guide and porters services. Choice (a) and (b) would be the cheapest in term of package fees, but one has to calculate and pay every time when ordering food and hot water drink, which is inconvenience especially at high altitude that may affect the mental activity and thinking.
