During our expeditions we will change several accommodations depending on our location. We start in double rooms in Kathmandu, then as we trek higher, we'll stay at lodge accommodation where double or triple rooms will be available. And finally, in our base camp, two person tents will be provided. As we go downhill, same accommodation will apply.
