My school is running an expedition to the Everest Base Camp. The trek will be for 15 days.

There are some things (some may say stupid things) I want to know before I pay the deposit.

1. What are the sleeping arrangements & bedroom set ups? We're staying in Sherpa lodges (if that means anything to you)

2. What are the toilet & showering arrangements?

3. Are there any particularly difficult parts of the trek? Any tricky terrains?

I know these seem like rather stupid things to ask but I'm a teenage girl, I like my privacy & I am a little high maintenance.

Also, is there anything I should be aware of? Any equipment I'll need or anything I should take into consideration before making my decision.

Absolutely any information will be very much appreciated

Hi there,

1. What are the sleeping arrangements & bedroom set ups? We're staying in Sherpa lodges (if that means anything to you)
Accommodation are fine, better to take own sleeping bag. Up to Namche Bazaar{2nd day} bathroom & toilet can be insight of the room with hot shower then after bucket shower {possible insight toilet room} till Labuche {second last night nearby EBC}.

2. What are the toilet & showering arrangements?
You can buy toilet papers where you stay {at lodge}, but it is not quality as yours own…

3. Are there any particularly difficult parts of the trek? Any tricky terrain?
It is potential high altitude trekking & flight hassle at Lukla. You need to book your trip with high experience agency as well as trekking guide who has got license from the government of Nepal…

Also, is there anything I should be aware of? Any equipment I'll need or anything I should take into consideration before making my decision.
