- Ever wondered how you'll answer nature's call on your next trekking adventure? Well, if you're trekking with Indiahikes, you can rest assured that you'll be using a clean, hygienic, and eco-friendly bio toilet system.
From waste to wonder: How bio toilets work?
Our bio toilets are specially designed deep pits dug into the ground. But they're not just any holes! We use a unique blend of cocopeat and sawdust to break down waste quickly and efficiently. This not only reduces odor and prevents the spread of disease, but also creates nutrient-rich compost that can be used to fertilize the land.
More than just a toilet: A commitment to sustainability
At Indiahikes, we're committed to minimizing our impact on the environment. That's why we use bio toilets instead of traditional pit toilets, which can pollute water sources and harm wildlife. By choosing bio toilets, we're helping to preserve the natural beauty of the Himalayas for generations to come.
So, the next time you're packing for your trek, don't worry about your nature's call and just bring a toilet roll along. With Indiahikes, you can be sure that you'll have a clean, comfortable, and eco-friendly bathroom experience.

Thanks Indiahikes for this information. I was worried what to expect. Now I know. It's definitely not most comfortable like a hotel. But atleast I know what to expect. I won't be surprised when I have to use it. Thanks again. Keep making such informtive videos.
As someone who has done a trek with Indiahikes, I confirm this information.
Wow! You have really invented something legendary.
Thanks a lot for having a dedicated video based on this topic, since it's true that for a beginner, this could be an important point to ponder about.
However, I'll end with a question. For trekkers who have medical issues with Indian toilets (squat position), does IndianHikes team have any toilet seat adjustment for replicating a Western toilet system?
👌👌👌
The toilets in Indiahikes trek are really good. Before going with them I was also worried, well, not about privacy or wiping, but about smell. I was really surprised to find that there was really no smell, even after one trekker had used it. They use some kind of essential oil and soda or something I don't know which diffuses the smell. I implore Swati to make a detailed video on that so that the other trekkers, on solo trek or a non-Indiahikes trek can use that as well. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing your experience. Will definitely come up with more informative videos. :)
Will there be water?
Can we use portable jet spray??
hey i am maharashtrian iam a trekker but i never trek in himalayas i have completed many treks in maharashtra but thgey are only of max to max 4 hours can i treak in himalayas where you have to trek for 7,8 hours daily and suggest me first trek i am planning in last week of may
Hi....Can people use biodegradable wet wipes to clean themselves???
I am not sure what India hikes do differently, but I have done a few treks with similar arrangements. If u r first few people using toilet then maybe u don't have smell problems. But after 3-4 use only it start smelling so bad that I find it better to not go there for entire trek.
In these dry toilets can we use bidets (portable plastic bottle) with say a litre of water for basic wash of buttocks along with paper roll?
Nope. Water is scarce.
What about washing hands
If you make the toilet seat a little raised (10-12 inches), it could serve as a western toilet.
What about Western type toilets for people who have difficulty in squatting
Where is the hanger or hooks to hang your pants inside the tent?
There is no need for a hanger. You pull your trek pants down to just above your knees so that it does not block your butt and do your business. And then you wipe off and pull it back into place. It's a trek toilet not a hotel one. They have made arrangements. You should make some as well. 🙂
@@pradkphotography don't they have water 😢
Can you pee as well in this, as for women it’s difficult?
Yes you can :)
This is so weird cause where do you wash your hands and how do you wash your butt when you go number 2
Business 🥸
Tell me Hindi
they should Put western toilet next to sitting toilet. dont need water also. so people use western toilet. with out any problem. just for sitting position. bottam same method as desi toilet
It's tough to carry western toilet up in mountains, the luggage of tent & all is enough
