If you want a hot shower, you may need to pay an extra $3 to $5 at the teahouses. After a long day of trekking, many people find this expense worthwhile.

We recommend that trekkers avoid meat on the mountain as it is unhygienic.

We provide all the meals on the trek but don't provide water. Treating the local water with chlorine/iodine tablets or a sterile pen is the best option. You can get free water from tea houses and along the trail. However, you'll need to treat it. Use the tablets only if they have dissolved completely (30 minutes).
