Food: What to Expect Ironically, given the electricity situation in most of Nepal, you can buy T-shirts saying Dal bhat 24 Hour Power.And dal bhat tarkari a soup of lentils or, higher up, millet with rice and a vegetable curry is the staple trekking food. Sherpa stew, a mess of pasta, vegetables and meat if it s about, is also good fodder. You can have fried potatoes with vegetables, fried potatoes with egg, fried potatoes with cheese, or fried potatoes with all or some of the above. You can have noodles with vegetables, noodles with egg, noodles with cheese, or noodles with some or all of the above Other starch options are rice and pasta, known here as macaroni, and, at lower elevations, spaghetti with tomato sauce. Momo made with either tinned tuna or vegetables sometimes feature, as does the regional cold cure, garlic soup, and, very occasionally yak curry. Fundamentally, food on the Everest region comprises gigantic piles of carbohydrates with the odd hit of vegetarian protein. A typical day trekking in Nepal starts with the "morning tea" (tea) around 6: You can select the breakfast from the Lodge Menu that consist Porridge, Toast, Bread, Eggs, Pancakes etc...then, having put away your things, you take breakfast while Porters are distributed loads and arrange everything.

6 Around noon, you pause for an hour or two for lunch: simple meal or picnic. You arrive mostly to 16 / 17h to step where you generally expect local biscuits and tea (light not to alter your sleep).dinner is usually served early (around 18h30 / 19h) curry and rice, pasta, noodles and fried/ mash potatoes etc. If you have "energy bars" favorite, you can bring.
