Asked on May 25th, 2017Can I add extra days to my trekking trip?
- D

Asked on May 25th, 2017What opportunities will I have for shower along the trek?
- D
Dale
Traveler•Written May 2017In major places (Namche Bazaar, Lukla), we arrange guesthouse with hot shower. And in rest of the places, hot water in the bucket will be provided for the shower; it would cost you extra about USD 3-4 per shower.
- D
Dale
Asked on May 25th, 2017Do I need to tip my guide and porters? How much would that be?
- D
Dale
Traveler•Written May 2017This is a difficult thing to gauge. We have seen everything from USD 20 to USD 1000 per person for guides and porters. Tipping is not required, but a small gesture of thanks to your guides and local porters. The level of the tip should reflect the level of satisfaction from and personal involvement with your guide. However, we recommend you to spend minimum 10% of your total trip cost for tipping entire local staffs, the ratio of tipping guide and porter will be given to you at the pre-trip meeting in Kathmandu before starting the trek.
