Food During the Expedition
Nutrition becomes extremely important for acclimatization and well being at high altitude levels. During the entire trekking and climbing journey, you will be served three warm meals per day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. This provides your body with enough energy to continue on the extended walks. In the lower areas, you will have your meals in teahouses and will receive:
- Typical Nepalese cuisine – rice (dal bhat), noodles, pasta, potatoes, eggs, soups, and vegetables.
- For breakfast, bread, porridge, and hot drinks
- Some well known Western dishes like pizza, sandwishes and burgers
The food variety decreases with the increase in altitude but its price increases. This is due to the difficulty in transporting goods and supplies to the higher mountain elevations.
With further climbing, you will stay in tents where you will receive meals cooked by your expedition crew members. We will be carrying all the required kitchen equipment for camping purposes. The meals will be mainly based on high carbohydrate content and easily digestible foods.
You can carry high energy snacks like chocolates, trail mix, nuts and dried fruits to keep up your energy levels during the long sections of the trail.
