Toilet Facilities in Everest Panorama Trekking:

Most teahouses have Western-style flush toilets during mountain treks, especially at lower elevations. But as you go higher, you find simple squat toilets along the trails and teahouses at higher altitudes. These toilets usually have water or toilet paper, but it's a good idea to bring your toilet paper just in case. You can also use restrooms at nearby teahouses or find a private spot along the trekking routes.

Internet Connectivity During the Trek:

 While trekking in Nepal's Himalayan region, connecting with your family and friends is also a good idea. You can find internet access at teahouses and lodges, but it may cost an extra minimal fee. The signal might be weak because of the remote location. You can also get internet access using a local SIM card and data packages available at Kathmandu airport or nearby shops in Thamel and Pokhara. You'll need a passport-sized photo and a copy of your passport to get a SIM card. It's a good idea to compare prices and data packages from telecom companies like Ncell and Nepal Telecom before buying. Knowing about the teahouse connectivity. Our guide will suggest connections for you.

However, 95 % of Nepali people have access to electricity as of May 29, 2023. Almost all popular trekking routes, teahouses, and lodges have electricity. However, some isolated and solo trekking tea houses in the jungle don't have electricity; most tea houses let travellers charge their devices for a small fee. The average electrical voltage in Nepal is 230 volts, with plug types like Type C, Type D, and Type M. Travellers should bring a suitable adapter and, if needed, a voltage converter for their electronic devices.

Communication in The Trek:

The guest houses in the trekking regions have internet access. You can buy a SIM card at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, and Namche.
