Voted the 2nd nastiest toilet during our trip (1st place honours to Gorak Shep)We had the pleasure of this facility at our lunch site at Phortse-Tenga This is the view below the outhouse, you don't have to squat over that! |

Pringles, Snickers, Mars bars...I don't eat this crap at home but for some reason we willingly pay $2-6 a tube for a Pringles and $1 to $3 for a chocolate bar, depending on how high up you are. |
