Plate of food

The cuisine draws upon the very fresh veggies that are grown throughout the country as well as spices and dishes from India, Tibet and Nepal. If you’re a vegetarian, you won’t have any problems getting plenty to eat, though lunch and dinner might be a little lighter on protein than you are used to. Consider carrying some protein bars from home.

You may have a few occasions to eat out at restaurants which will provide a nice change from the usual fare (though these are served buffet-style as well).

Bottled water is included in the cost of the trip, but soft drinks, alcohol and juice (unless it’s served at the buffet) are not.
