  Mountain Huts

  

  During the trek the accommodation will be in mountain huts in dormitories with single and double bunk beds or mattresses.

  The huts are equipped with gas stoves, kitchen utensils and running cold water. The toilets are in separate huts. There are showers in most of the huts but you need to pay a small fee to use them.

  It is usually possible to charge batteries and phones in most huts. On rainy days there is sometimes not enough power to charge phones because solar panels are used to generate power.
