FOOD

You can expect even the food on our Himalayan mountain biking tour to be consistent with the adventure travel vacation spirit. Although perhaps less distinct in Western minds than more popular Asian counterparts, Tibetan and Nepalese cuisines possess sophisticated, stimulating flavors sure to enhance the cultural dimension of our trip.

While camping, all meals will be provided onsite. You'll eat cooked meals that include pasta, rice, noodles (with meat or without), pancakes, popcorn, and a variety of desserts. Each morning, one of the Sherpa will wake you with a mug of freshly brewed Tibetan hot chocolate.

When in Kathmandu and Lhasa, you'll be able to wander and eat meals in restaurants of your choosing. You might consider trying momos, dumplings with a meat or vegetable-based filling, or po cha, the traditional Tibetan butter tea. In both countries, the typical daily food for most people consists of rice (bhat), lentil soup (dal), curried vegetables and/or meat (tarkari or masu), and a small amount of pickle or sauce (achar).
