As an example of the food on offer on the Annapurna Circuit I have reproduced here the menu of the New Tibetan Hotel in Chame. This is in fact the same menu as used in each of the lodges in Chame. This is a feature of the Annapurna Circuit. Each village committee has created a fixed price menu used in each lodge. This has advantages for both trekkers and lodge operators. The menus are often very long, but as you can see they are just different combinations of the same few items. In each lodge you stay you will be expected to write down your orders in the lodge notebook, and then add up your own bill at the end of your stay. This menu is typical of those on the Annapurna Circuit. Prices are in Nepalese Rupees in 1997.
