    Asked on February 9th, 2023

    Could you please let this traveller know if they could book a single room?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Himalayan Glacier Adventure and Travel CompanyOperatorWritten February 2023

      Yes you can book a single room for Moshi. Since this route is a camping route all overnight stays during the trek will be in tents. We can provide a single tent for a traveler as part of the single supplement cost.

      TravelerWritten February 2023

      The system won't let me book for just one traveler. Every time I choose 1 traveler per twin room it gives me an error message that the room is for twin occupancy. And there is no option for single occupancy room.
