All across the Khumbu, there are hot showers with gravity-fed water that has been heated on gas stoves. You will find solar-heated showers in your private rooms in the lodges in the lower settlements, including Namche. Washing facilities get simpler as you go higher, but they're always there. Because it is freezing outside at the highest altitudes, fewer people utilize the showers. Each client also receives a small basin of warm washing water every day from our Sherpa crew. Before every meal, warm water for hand washing and soap are also available (and you must use them!).
