Himalayan Lodges

Our accomodations on the trip are more austere the higher we go.  All of the lodges do share some key points though:
* The only heated room in lodges is the dining room. 
* Showers are available for a fee, but not all lodges have them.  If they do, the room is not going to be heated and there is probably only one for everyone in the lodge. 
* If your cell phone or camera battery need charging, you can do that for a fee. 
* The are stark.  Two single beds with a hard platform and foam mattress. 
* Bathrooms may be western style or a squatty-potty but either way are not going to be that clean, will be shared by all on that floor of the lodge and TP gets placed in a small trash can, not flushed.  Oh, and this is important, you have to provide your own TP.
* The lodge, aside from the dinning room will probably have doors open to the outside, even if it is snowing.  * * The higher you go the higher the prices will be. 
* Water is not filtered but is boiled for cooking and water bottles.

I figure is a shower is available the the room has a mirror it qualifies at Himalayan 5 star.
