Included in Price

• Breakfast is included throughout the trip, as are eight dinners (a welcome dinner in Kathmandu and half-board on trek). Lunches are taken at lodges en route – sometimes one of your guides will go ahead with the group’s order to make it more expedient. Breakfast and dinners in the lodges range from traditional Nepalese food to Chinese and Western dishes. The food is good quality and usually buffet style. You are provided with safe drinking water on trek. Meat is available in the lodges, but we advise against eating it. Meat is often carried in the heat for several days before reaching the lodges and can cause stomach upsets or illness. Germs can also be spread by handling dirty money – we recommend using hand sanitiser. Dietary requirements Gluten-free diets: We strongly recommend you bring extra food and snacks with you to supplement the food on trek as there will be little variety available to you, particularly for breakfast. Even many of the soups are powdered and contain gluten. Gluten-free breakfast options are limited to vegetable fried rice and a choice of egg. On specific days only, a trekkers breakfast (without the toast/with an extra egg) will be served. Vegan diets: Breakfasts are limited to a choice of muesli/porridge made with water each day, and on specific days only, a trekkers breakfast (without the egg) or vegetable fried rice. Lactose-free diet: The same will apply although you will also have a choice of egg each day. Drinking waterStaying hydrated is vital at altitude, where it is generally recommended to drink at least 0.7gal to 1gal (three to four litres) per day. We strongly encourage you not to buy bottled water on trek as this contributes to the growing plastic pollution problem in Nepal. All lodges provide free cold water. This should not be drunk untreated, so we recommend you bring a reusable bottle/water bladder/CamelBak (ideally two and wide mouth) and use an effective form of water treatment. There are a wide range of products available including Steripens or purification tablets, which are the quickest and easiest options to use on trek – we recommend talking to an outdoor retailer for the latest advice as technologies are improving all the time. Make sure to check the product’s performance in cold/freezing conditions and consider battery life (lithium batteries are best in cold conditions). Exodus has partnered with Water-to-Go, a filtration system that eliminates more than 99.99 percent of all microbiological contaminants from any non-saltwater source – visit Water-to-Go for more information. Exodus customers can claim 15 percent off their first order and, better still, 15 percent of the purchase value will be donated to the Exodus Travels Foundation. These bottles filter the water as you drink, though the spout may not be the most efficient while moving on trek. Please note, if the water freezes it will clog up the filter. In this event, defrost before use by sitting the filter in lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes.
