This will ensure that you not only have plenty of food but that you enjoy it a lot more having local food and hiking in mountains. Where once there was a choice of perhaps 5 different rice lentil base meals at any one lodge. Most now offer a wide menu of 30 or more choices from basic Dal Bhat to yak steak with Blue Cheese sauce. I would like to recommend you place your meal order as soon as you can upon arriving at the lodge as it is strict. First ordered, first served or you can give the dinner time so they will bring food on your time. Mountain trekking is so busy. That's why they will be prepared food on time.
