Kailash Resort in Pokhara.  All accommodations are on twin-shared basis. Single supplement will be served on request and will cost an additional USD 370. Himalayan Glacier will arrange rooms with attached washrooms; however, teahouses in some places only have shared washing and toilet facilities. Also note that single rooms are readily available in Kathmandu, Pokhara and the trekking regions at lower elevation but it might be difficult to find them at higher elevations.
