Toilet and Bathroom for Makalu Base Camp Trek
On the Annapurna, Langtang & Everest trek, and Makalu trek, shared toilet facilities are more common than en-suite bathrooms. They may be located in the main building or an outhouse. There are two types of toilets: Western-style and squat. Places at higher altitudes tend to have more basic amenities. It’s a good idea to bring your toilet paper and soap, as well as hand sanitizer. Toilet paper is usually disposed of in a trash can next to the toilet (or a battered old metal can). Scoop water from a nearby bucket with whatever receptacle you have to flush the squat toilet.
Evening Dinner will be in the Dining Room
Meals are always served in the dining room, so you can meet other trekkers there. In higher accommodations, the dining room usually has a fire around dinnertime.
Shower service in Makalu Base tea house trek
Over the first few days, you’ll find hot showers, but chances diminish as you climb up the mountain. As a fuel for cooking and heating, the gas must be transported by mules. But there might be very little pressure under the spray in a cold room. When you reach more than 3,000 meters high, you get cold. But hotel people will charge a little more for the hot hitter charge.

Our agency staff always take care of you, and they will provide you a single room single tent during the tea house trek and during the climbing trek. But if you contact freelance Guide then you get many problems they try to make chit for a single woman. Therefore if you book guide porter with un agency then it is good safe your Holyday travel to Nepal.
