Camping treks is a term applied to overland journeys, involving the support of a trek crew to carry personal belongings along with tents, food, fuel and cooking equipment. The pioneer explorers and mountaineers used this very form of travel while exploring the unknown areas. Sleeping tents, dinning mess tents, toilet tents, cooking tents and also tables and chairs are carried by porters. In fact it is a small world of your own. The cook and the kitchen crew prepares hot food which is normally a very balanced diet comprising of fresh vegetables and breads, to pastas and sandwiches and occasionally even cakes and pizzas. Breakfasts are usually bread eggs and cereals, and lunch and dinner are a three course meals. We make sure that you get the required amount of carbohydrates and proteins and vitamins as you burn a lot of calories walking uphills, so plenty of vegetables, canned meat and fish and eggs and cereals are carried.
Your day begins with a wake up tea/ coffee at around 6 to 6:30 in the morning by one of the kitchen crew. You will be then provided with a bowl of warm water for washing. Tables and chairs will be set in the open place of your campsite where breakfast will be served. Setting off in the pleasant cool of the morning, you will generally reach our lunch stop by 11 am. The cook crew, having overtaken us on the trail, will already have the lunch preparations well under way. Lunch usually takes an hour to an hour an half. During the aftrenoon our porters will usually overtake the group, aiming to reach the camp before our arrival by 3 or 4 p.m.. Tea/ Coffee and snacks will be served on arrival to the camp.
Dinner is usually ready by early evening and is a 3-course meal served in the mess tent. Kerosene lamp lights are used for light in the mess tent. After dinner, it is a great time of day for reliving the events of the trek so far, planning the next day’s activities and for general socializing.
