Although the Himalayan region of Nepal is the most popular trekking destination in the world; there are a lot of things people don’t have a clue about.

The hotels and accommodations around the high Himalayan have fewer services and facilities. The hot shower may turn out to be simply a bucket of lukewarm water and the toilet may be a latrine behind the hotel. The private room can be a wooden cell with no furniture except a bed, mattress, and curtain in place of the door.
