We all can sometimes have inhibitions when it comes to going to the loo outdoors, so it is good to know what is involved. When it comes down to it, going to the “loo” in the outdoors, it can be a liberating and fun experience.
Our toilet is located well away from camp and will normally have a spectacular view over the river somewhere and of course reading material. All of our waste is taken out, apart from pee, which goes into a pee bucket and this sterile liquid goes into the river each morning. At the toilet, after your business is taken care of, there is a handwash set up to wash your hands. Again in the kitchen of all our camps, we have another handwash ensuring hygiene is well taken care of.
Your Scenic Loo
So what happens during the day if you have the urge? Our toilet is always accessible during the day, and if you need a pee, then we suggest using the nearest rock or tree. Women often wonder how this will work for them. Not a bad idea to pack on your trip is a FUD or Feminine Urinary Device which can be purchased from many online stores.
Bottom line, it is not a big deal. Enjoy it and enjoy that loo with a view!

Tucked away in remote eastern Canada, the Magpie River isn’t somewhere you just stumble across. There are no roads leading to it, no towns nearby, no easy […]
French Polynesia is far more than a scattering of beautiful islands set in impossibly blue water. Long before yachts, charts, and GPS, these islands sat at the very heart of one of humanity’s greatest stories of exploration. The great Polynesian expansion across the Pacific Ocean. When we sail through places like Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, […]
Nepal is home to some of the greatest whitewater rafting rivers on the planet. Among them, two names stand out for very different — yet equally compelling — reasons: the Karnali River and the Tamur River. If you’re trying to decide between these two iconic Himalayan expeditions, you’re not alone. Both offer multi-day journeys through […]
