Mardi Himal Trekking lodge or teahouse in Nepal 

Lodges or Teahouses accommodation is run by a local family. If we forget some nice luxury lodges, the normal ones have private rooms with 2 beds or 4 - 5 beds like a dormitory. Some teahouses have attached bathrooms but please don't expect them everywhere. Nowadays in Mardi Himal, Annapurna Base Camp, Poonhill, Everest, and some other places lodges are upgraded with new amenities. During the peak season, it will be quite tough to get private rooms but we will try our best to manage. Squat or Flush? some places have a flush and some places are with a squat toilets. 

Drinking water during the Mardi Himal Trek

Drinking water directly from the tap is not recommended for trekkers. Normally you can buy filtered water, mineral water, and boiled water on the trail. We request our trekkers to carry water purification tablets (if you are used to the tablets). There is a big problem of plastic bottles around the trail so it's our request that trekkers use other options. Our Guide will get fresh water from the tap if you use a purification tablet. In some places, both are not worth using in that case buying water bottles is safe.
