So far, I should say.

6:00 am – bed tea (tea service at the tent door)

7:00 am – breakfast (be packed and ready to go)

Eggs, toast, cereal ( corn flakes or muesli) grilled tomato, juice, tea. Best meal of the day!!

7:30 am – start hiking

Noon – 1:00 pm – lunch along the trail

Rice, two veggies, one with cheese, meat. Fruit for dessert. Tea and/or hot water to drink.

3:00 pm – arrive camp

3:30 pm – tea

6:00 – 6:30 pm – dinner

Soup, rice, two veggies, one with cheese, meat. Fruit for dessert. Tea and/or hot water to drink.

About the food: The meat is tough and fatty. That makes sense in a largely vegetarian country, where meat isn’t really the focus. I’ve tried it a few times but mostly stick to the vegetable dishes. I seem to be the least impressed by the food (breakfast is great) of anyone in the group, probably because I’ve been spoiled by great food on past treks. Honestly, I find it mediocre, and I’ve kept that opinion to myself. Until now, that is.
