Our Sherpa cooks are masters at preparing a variety of healthy meals. They use almost exclusively fresh, whole ingredients. Produce and staples are purchased in the Kathmandu Valley and transported to the Khumbu via helicopter charter. Fresh meat and other supplements are purchased in Namche or along the way. Vegetarians rarely have complaints on Nepal trekking trips. Meat is served but is always an addition to the main courses. Dal Bhatt (rice with lentils) and several other local Nepalese and Tibetan dishes are featured throughout our trek. They quite often become the favourites, but there are always other options at any meal where they are served. Typical day’s meals: Breakfast: Porridge, cornflakes, instant milk, fried eggs, toast with jam and butter, orange slices. Coffee, black tea and herbal tea, hot chocolate, tang. Lunch: Yak steak with chips (french fries), rice with lentils, cauliflower, toast with peanut butter and jam, cookies, fresh apples, hot drinks and tang. Afternoon Tea: Popcorn, saltine crackers with sliced cheese, hot drinks. Dinner: Soup, pizza, fresh green beans, mashed potatoes, banana fritters, hot drinks.
