Higher on the trail, there are very few options in the villages, however whenever possible, we use the better options!
By using the better lodges, you give yourself access to better food, cleaner environment and less chance to get food or water born sickness.  We use the better mountain lodges for all our trips, when available. For example, we use Hotel Namche in Namche Bazaar for four of the nights of our treks. You have three nights on the way up the trail and one night on the way down the trail. You will have a shower in your room, great food and comfortable experience on route to Everest.  Higher on the trail, there are very few options in the villages, however whenever possible, we use the better options!
