What are the washing facilities like on trekking holidays?
For washing facilities, each morning the trekking crew will bring you a bowl of hot water so you can have a wash in the tent (bring your own flannel). On the campsite, the toilets are simple holes dug in the ground with a tent around so you have complete privacy. Outside the tent the crew leave a large bowl of potassium permanganate solution for washing hands afterwards. On breaking camp, the crew will fill in the hole, so the process is as environmentally friendly as possible. On holidays in Nepal where we stay in Tea Huts (Joys of Nepal), some have showers though not always a supply of hot water. These also have toilets but are rarely plumbed in with a flush.
