While you trek in Nepal’s Himalayas, most trekking agency offer meals on trekking (main course: breakfast, lunch, dinner) each trekking day. The meals will be served in the teahouses. Normally, where you sleep at night, there will be dinner and breakfast, and lunch will be served on the way to the next spot. This is the food and meal style on teahouse treks. But if you go on a camping trek, the style will be different.
Trekking food in Nepal is of good quality, and we recommend that you try the local foods. The local food includes Dal Bhat (lentil stew with rice and curried potatoes or meat), boiled potatoes with chili sauce, Sherpa stew (meat, potatoes, vegetables in a rich sauce), or curry with rice.
