They do not make it simple because it's a moving kitchen. Instead, we had the full courses starting from soup till dessert. The whole big tent was set up for the dining purpose. What a luxury in the wildness!

Favorite Dish: I love the way the cook vegetable, by adding fresh cheese.

We need the warmth, don't we?

It's not recommended to have campfire in the mountain; however, as there was some ground burnt already, our guide set the fire on the burnt area.

Dress Code: Anything

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It's worth investing in a pair of good water proof boots. then when you have to cross a stream on the way, you don't need to take off th shoes. The water is extremely cold.

Photo Equipment: A lot of films. There's no supplies at on the way.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Don't worry about other gears as they are offered by the travel agency, but you have to bring your own sleep bag, and you need a very warm one.

Miscellaneous: Compass!

They speak more English than I thought they did. Seeing us walking there, they ran a far distance only to say hello to us.

Favorite thing: Himalayas is very rich in flowers and foliage. It would be a golden chance if you know some herbal medicine. I regret not learning a little from my mom before I went there.
