How do you shower while climbing Mount Everest?

Are there shower facilities on the Everest Base Camp trek? Yes, there's a shower facility in every guesthouse along the Everest Base Camp route. We use hot showers in Lukla, Namche, and Phakding at the same cost as the budget trip. But, above Namche, you need to pay if you need to use the hot showers.
