Potatoes are prepared in numerous ways, and you might even find pasta and a local version of pizza. Meat consumption is rare, but you may come across canned tuna, sardines, or the occasional yak stew.
For breakfast, you'll typically enjoy eggs prepared in various styles, hot porridge, muesli, toast, peanut butter, and honey. Hot tea is served at every meal. While food is generally seen as "fuel" rather than a form of "culinary art," your cook may surprise you with treats like banana fritters and apple crisps! It's a good idea to bring along a few of your favorite trail snacks.

Trekkers normally start their walk early, after a hot breakfast, to enjoy the morning sun bathing the peaks. Prepare a light day pack with what you need for that day. Your guide will organize the porters to carry all your other baggage and equipment, leaving you free to enjoy the peace and beauty of the mountains and valleys. The less weight you carry, the more you will enjoy it. By late afternoon, you will have reached your new destination and settled into your lodge, or if you are camping, a campfire and food will be prepared by the trek staff.
If you are on a camping trek with a group, the evening generally tends to be lively with a porter entertaining you with his tribal song while his friends improvise musical instruments, or just having a lively campfire discussion of your own. Early morning, a hand stretches out with a hot mug of tea, followed by warm water for a wash. Cooked breakfast and off you go again to your new destination.
The proper footwear depends on the trek. Shorter treks can be done in comfortable running shoes, while longer ones require sturdy but lightweight hiking boots. Shoes and boots are best purchased before arriving in Nepal. Proper fit is a must for boots, and we strongly encourage you to break your boots in before the trek.
