Toilet Facilities

As we know most of the people are concerned about toilet facilities when it comes to lodging and accommodation plan. So depending on the different trekking region and types of logistic support available around, you might not get the type and condition of toilet as you expected. Where is some trekking destination like Everest and Annapurna, you can have some standard toilet with hot shower and for the same region when it comes to high passes trekking, the situation is different.
