Food for Everest Gokyo Lake Trek
The Trek over the incredible mountains is a lifetime experience. Maintaining a healthy diet with sanitary meals that provide power and energy is crucial for multi-day treks.
Eating a meal high in proteins and carbs is crucial to maintain our fitness levels on our mountain climb. Even if meals on the walk can be smaller and taste different than those in cities, they are practical and filling.
A great variety of cuisine is available on the menus of tea houses while hiking, which is cooked by the local population. Tibetan bread (also referred to as Gurung bread in the Annapurna region), Chapati with Cheese, Oatmeal, French toast with jam, honey, & peanut butter, Corn Flakes, Hash Browns, fried, scrambled, and boiled eggs, pancakes, porridge with milk, Muesli, vegetable items, and various hot drinks (aside from espresso and Americano) are some of the popular breakfast options.
Thukpa (noodle soup), Dahl and Bhat (a traditional Nepalese dish), Momos (dumplings), Tibetan/Chapatti bread, Macaroni, Spaghetti, Sherpa Stew, soups, steaks, potato items, sandwiches, pizza, rice with curry, spring rolls, burgers, yak steak, and desserts are just a few of the options available for lunch.

These carefully chosen meals are made with fresh ingredients, a balanced diet, and strict hygiene standards with mountain hikers in mind.
Although non-vegetarian alternatives are listed on the menus of the tea houses, it is not formally advised to eat meat in the higher altitudes of the highlands owing to hygienic and health issues. We suggest that you please do not eat meat, drink alcohol, or smoke while on the walk.
You may splurge on goodies like Rice Pudding, Apple Pie, Fruit Snickers/Mars Bars, Popcorn, Cakes, and Pastries for desserts and snacks. There are many choices for hot beverages, such as black or milk coffees, black/mint/ginger/green/lemon honey teas, hot chocolates, hot mango, orange, & other different kind of juices.
Water choices:
Shops that sell ordinary mineral water bottles may be found in the Everest area, and many tea cafes provide water fountains where you can replenish your water bottles. Although utilizing a LifeStraw or water purification tablets is advised, refilling from arbitrary taps or water sources is often safe. At high elevations drinking 2-3 liters of water every day is recommended to replace lost oxygen.
Info on accommodations:
Tea huts in the highlands provide basic lodging. The rooms usually contain two to three single beds with cozy blankets, pillows, and mattresses, as well as connected bathrooms (not always accessible) and beautiful scenery. Female tourists traveling alone will get a single private room at no additional cost. Throughout the journey, we’ll ensure you stay in the most excellent tea houses that are accessible, each with a stunning mountain outlook.

When to Trek to Everest Gokyo Lake:
Select the ideal month for your unforgettable hiking adventure! Spring, summer, monsoon, autumn, and winter are the five seasons of Nepal. The finest trekking seasons in Nepal for treks to Everest Base Camp or any other location are autumn and spring.
Pre-monsoon season, or spring, lasts from February through May, with steady, dry weather and comfortable temperatures. As it offers crystal clear views of the mountains and landscape, it is the perfect time of year for hiking in the Everest area. The temperature may have between -10 & -12 degrees Celsius at night and up to 15-20 degrees Celsius during the day, depending on the weather. The beauty of the walk is enhanced by the flowering flora and greenery in the spring.

It felt like the real nepal Honestly, i didn’t know much about the tsum valley before starting this trek, and that made the experience even better. the trail felt peaceful, the villages were beautiful, and every day had something different to see. i really enjoyed meeting local nepali people because everyone was so friendly and welcoming. our guide also made a big difference he knew the trail well, helped whenever we were tired, and shared interesting things about local life and culture. it felt more like experiencing real nepal than simply completing a trek. i would happily do this route again.![]()

Amazing guide and very communicative office I just finished the Annapurna circuit trek with ambition himalaya. Very good experience. My guide, Bharat, was very professional, and yet also funny and an amazing musician! During the trek came a storm that interrupted the trek, and we had to be rescued by helicopter. Both my guide and Shishir (the agency manager), helped a lot, and as soon as we got connection we called the office and they made great efforts to help with the rescue. Shishir is very communicative, and very willing to help. The hotels I were booked before and after the trek were fine, but there many cheap hotels in these areas (the thamel in kathmandu and lakeside in pokharar) so you could also book on your own for more flexibility. Overall It was a very good experience, and the guide took care of everything durring the trek, leaving me mostly with very little to worrie about.![]()

Manaslu circuit trek with Tsum valley, park Chitwan and sightseeing Kathmandu This was my first trip of this kind. Communication via WhatsApp was fantastic; Shishir answers every question almost immediately :). He can organize and combine various excursions into one—you just have to say what you want. On a day off, he’ll show you what’s worth seeing on a map or arrange a guide and transport. In the event of illness or an accident (which I wouldn't wish on anyone), he’ll take you to a doctor and help with translation. The trek was organized to perfection. I highly recommend the jeep option for a small extra fee—it offers total comfort. Our guide, Ghaman, was very friendly; he looked after us, checked on how we were feeling, shared stories, and adjusted the daily distance to our capabilities. He chose the best spots for overnight stays, offering beautiful views. The guys doing the "heavy lifting"—despite their unassuming appearance—are truly tough as nails 👏💪. Always funny and polite; you can always count on a helping hand :). They adapt to your needs: if you want company, they’ll chat; if you want to be alone, they’ll discreetly step back, yet they always keep a watchful eye on your safety. Tsum offers a chance to discover a different world, with amazing, warm, and open people. The Manaslu Circuit offers a more "modern" feel. Incredible views (though, unfortunately, weather-dependent ;)). It presents altitude-related challenges, but it’s totally doable with a great team. Unforgettable high-altitude moments :). Chitwan offers a completely different atmosphere; the safari lets you see animals up close. Unforgettable moments include walking across the town bridge with a crocodile on the riverbank below :). Don't worry—it's safe. You always choose your meals from the menu yourself. The staff is always very friendly. Nepal is a country of very polite people :). A huge thank you for helping me make my dreams come true—it wouldn't have been possible without you ♥️. My best all-inclusive vacation ever—you took care of everything, and I just had a great time 😊.![]()

The mountains felt much closer than i expected I still remember the morning we started walking toward abc. the trail was a mix of stone steps, forest, little villages, and plenty of uphill walking, so it was not always easy. my legs were pretty tired by the end of some days, but the views kept making me want to continue. i enjoyed the simple teahouses and talking with other trekkers along the way. reaching ABC early in the morning, with the mountains all around us, was the moment i had been waiting for. it felt peaceful, exciting, and completely worth the effort.![]()
Gloria WVerified
Tsum Valley and Manaslu Circuit Trek. Hello! This was my first trek and I couldn't imagine it better. We've got the best team ever ( guide Ghaman and porters Gagan and Man Bahadur ). They were always caring about us, if there was anything you could hit you had heard "mind your head" or "careful careful". They even made a way from rocks when it was hard to cross the river. We were playing card games together (they taught us their game and we taught ours.) Very funny time spent. Man Bahadur and Gagan also had been carrying fruits for us for everyday FOR ALL TREK. They are really strong! Moreover in this beautiful place Tsum Valley with amazing people in guesthouses I could go to the kitchen and prepare Chapatti ( I liked this food and was curious how to make it) and it was possible because our guide arranged it ;) From wonderful Tsum Valley we went straight to Manaslu Circuit Trek. Here was harder but also awesome! Team was always supportive, when we felt bad, they were stopping for us to give us a time we needed. We achieved Base Camp and Larkya La Pass thanks to them. All trip was great planned for what we are thankful for managing director Shishir. After long and hard day there was shorter so we weren't too tired. Although he wasn't with us in mountains, he was asking if everything is fine. I am honestly very satisfied, proud and above all VERY glad. Perfect adventure with perfect people! Thank you so so much!! I can truly recommend. ✯ᴗ✯![]()

Manaslu circuit trek with Tsum Valley, Chitwan and sightseeing Khatmandu. The trek was demanding and long, but every day was very well planned, so we were not that exhausted and could appreciate the journey. The whole trek lasted 18 days, but after that we also spent 2 days in Chitwan. Our guide for the trek was named Ghaman and we had two porters: Man Bahadur and Gagan. All three where wonderful and very attentive, making sure we get the best available rooms, are eating well and get to see every wild animal they could have spotted. They were always ready to help with more difficult parts of the trek like crossing the river. The views and their company rewarded all the hardships. Our travel agency manager was also very helpful. He helped us with applying for all the necessary permits, made sure we had a proper guides and transportation to all of our destinations. He was also ready to assist us in case of a medical emergency. Journey was 10/10 and thank you Shisir for an unforgettable stay in Nepal.![]()

Our abc trek was worth every step We were still talking about the abc trek on the flight home. my partner and i loved the mix of forest trails, villages, stone steps, and mountain views. Some days were tiring, but our guide was patient, helpful, and always checked that we were comfortable. everything was arranged smoothly, including accommodation, meals, and transport. reaching base camp together was the highlight, and we both came back happy with the experience.![]()

A Memorable annapurna base camp trek One thing i will remember from annapurna base camp is how quickly the scenery changes during the trek. we walked through small villages, forests, and plenty of stone steps, with the mountains getting closer each day. some afternoons were tiring and the weather changed quickly, but our guide handled everything calmly. he was helpful with our pace, meals, and small things we needed along the way. the early morning view from base camp was absolutely worth the effort. it was a simple, genuine, and memorable trekking experience.![]()

Never thought my first trek would Be ebc I never thought my first trek would turn out this good. everest base camp was challenging for me, especially on the longer walking days, but having the ambition himalaya team made a big difference. the guides were friendly, patient and always around when i needed help. shishir was also very nice and personally looked after things. somehow everything went smoothly, and finishing ebc is a memory i will keep for a long time. i’d happily trek with them again.![]()

45 Days in nepal, and this became my favorite memory After 45 days of traveling around nepal, this trek was easily one of my favorite experiences. the annapurna views were incredible, but honestly, it was the people and the little moments along the way that i will remember most. everyone we met was so warm and welcoming. i booked with ambition himalaya and everything felt easy and relaxed from the start. our guide was friendly, helpful, and never made us feel rushed. reaching annapurna base camp after days of walking was an unforgettable moment. i was exhausted, but standing there surrounded by those mountains made every step worth it.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
