Being situated at remote locations, most of the places on the trekking route do not have cell phone coverage and communication is not possible unless a satellite phone is available. However, at certain segments on the trek, you may find weak phone network. The secluded trails on this route comprise deep valleys and the northern facing geographical landscape adds to disrupting the phone reception. Buy a SIM card in Kathmandu prior to your trek so that you can use it wherever there is strong network and at teahouses where phone reception is weak, you can use the lodge’s phone service at a small extra charge.
