Short answer
- Dal bhat is NPR 900 with free refills.
- Rooms are often free if you eat at the lodge.
- Prices rise from here as the trail climbs.
Namche has more lodges than anywhere else on the trail, so it has the widest range of prices: from simple rooms above a bakery to lodges with en-suite bathrooms and heated dining rooms.
Most trekkers stay two nights here to acclimatise, so it is also where a budget is most often set.
