When trekking to Everest Base Camp, you must note that the food on the trail is low. And you cannot expect to find lavish junk food options. But, the food is healthy enough to energize you during the trek.
The staple food on the trek is Dal Bhat. It is a traditional Nepali dish comprising lentil soup, steamed rice, and vegetables. This dish is an excellent source of carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins. It is available at almost every tea house or lodge on the trek.
If you prefer non-vegetarian food, you can have some chicken. It is available in some lodges or teahouses. You can also try local delicacies such as Tibetan bread, a flatbread made from wheat flour. There’s also Thukpa, a hot noodle soup containing vegetables, meat, and eggs.
