The lodgings on this trip include (i) hotels and B&Bs with small, 2-person, single-gender rooms with private bathrooms and (ii) hostels, huts, and guesthouses with large, 10+ person, mixed-gender, dormitory-style bunk rooms and central, shared bathrooms. The hostels, huts, and/or guesthouses – as well as the bunk rooms and bathrooms at those locations – may be shared with other mixed-gender trekking parties.
