Trekkers use Salleri as a resting point before getting to Dudh Koshi Valley, the lower Everest region, or alternative routes to the popular spots, such as Gokyo Lakes and Three Passes Trek.
With regard to facilities, Salleri has basic amenities like guest houses, teahouses, small shops, and food outlets meant to serve travelers who are passing through the town. Accommodation varies from budget lodges to more comfortable guesthouses where trekkers can have a place to recharge and relax while enjoying their journey.
