Wet baby wipes instead of Shower

The shower is not recommended to take during the trek but many people take shower. We can get hot showers easily in places like Namche, Phakding, and Lukla. While you go higher we will get hot showers in Tangbochea, Pangboche also. We will get a basic shower on Dingbochea.
