You will be provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner each day spent on the mountain. The food, specifically selected to help your climb, are high energy carbohydrate foods that are easily digestible. The primary carbohydrate of the meals is rice, potatoes and pasta. Fresh fruit and vegetables accompany every meal. Meat is served on the mountain but not in large quantities because it is not easily digestible at high altitude and nor does it keep well on the mountain. For longer climbs, we resupply the team with fresh food near the end of the climb.
Water is collected from mountain streams. It is filtered with the Platypus Gravity Works system or boiled for purification. There is no need for further treatment of water. Water is provided only at the campsites so you need to carry enough water, usually about 3 liters, to stay hydrated while you hike.
