TTH Food On Treks

The most delightful part of trekking with TTH? It’s definitely the food you get along the way! At TTH the food treks right along with the trekkers!
Food Treks? Yes, It Does!

Have you ever thought about how food reaches you on the treks? Hot Parathas at 12,000 ft? Soup steaming in sub-zero winds? Or a surprise dessert after a long summit day? Sounds unreal, right?

At TTH, we’ve seen how food becomes one of the most loved parts of every trek. We have led many treks, and the happiness that comes on our trekkers’ faces after having a good meal, is worth every effort we put in!

When you trek with TTH, you not only see wonderful trails, you experience the joy of eating freshly cooked, homemade-style meals, no matter how far or high you go.

How? Let’s look into this!

Our Dedicated Mountain Kitchen Team

We have a special kitchen team that treks with you all the way, from the start of base camps to the highest campsites. They are first to wake up and the last to sleep, and of course the real backbone of our treks and TTH. They are also mountaineering trained, adapted to the weather, altitude, and challenges of cooking in extreme conditions. Before every trek, we pack fresh ingredients, essential masalas, oil, cereals, and pulses. All are chosen thoughtfully to balance taste and nutrition.

What if we say, you won’t believe it, sometimes we even serve gulab jamun, momos, gol gappe, or pizzas in the middle of the mountains! Because who says a trek can’t come with a little treat?

Cooking at altitude isn’t easy. Water boils slower, temperatures drop fast, and yet, our chefs manage to make flavorful and nutritious food that keeps trekkers energetic throughout the day. Supporting them is our dedicated staff, who carry ingredients, serve meals, and make sure that trekkers are well-fed and happy.

Why Our Food Is Loved by So Many

Variety of Food

It is for sure, no two days on a TTH trek feel the same, and neither do our meals! Be it North Indian favorites like Dal Makhni and Parathas to South Indian dishes like Rava Idli and Sambhar, and even continental delights like Pasta or Fried Rice, our menu is always changing.

Fresh ingredients

Even in remote Himalayan regions, we use fresh and seasonal ingredients. Before every trek, our team carefully selects vegetables, pulses, cereals, oils, and spices. The items are checked well for quality and packed to withstand the cold, rugged terrain. We also get our supplies from local people. It’s our way to support and respect them.

Drinking Water

Because at high altitude keeping yourself hydrated is most important. We make sure trekkers always have access to clean and safe drinking water. Water is boiled and filtered daily, and hot water is served every morning and evening to keep you hydrated in cold weather. During the trek, we also carry water purification tablets to make sure the water is safe to drink.

Customized Meals for Everyone

Jain Food Preferences

Many times we get queries regarding food preferences. Most of our trekkers are from the Jain community, and the concern regarding food we understand. For our Jain trekkers, we prepare customised meals without onion and garlic. These are cooked separately with the same good taste and hygiene.

Dietary Preferences

Also, if any trekker has specific food restrictions or allergies, we also take care of that! There are many trekkers who are lactose intolerant or vegan, but that does not mean, one can not go on a trek. Our team is always ready to customize meals, so that every individual enjoys the essence of trekking without worrying about food choices!

Special Celebrations

Celebrations are as special for us as they are for our trekkers. Be it birthdays, anniversaries, group’s summit, or any special occasion, we celebrate all such joys with freshly baked cakes at high altitude. The TTH team makes sure your special moments are never missed, instead they should become extra special in such extra mile regions!

Special Food Arrangements for Kids!

If we talk about what food we provide during our kids’ trek visit, we make sure they are well-fed and happy. In our Kids Trekking programs, food is given extra attention. We include milk, Bournvita, cornflakes, fruits, and snacks according to the kids nutrition and taste and to keep the little trekkers active and cheerful.

Our cooks adjust the spice levels and portion sizes just right for young trekkers. It’s heartwarming to watch children gather around for hot chocolate or soup after a long trail! Their faces might get red from the wind but their eyes shine with excitement after having their yummy meals. Parents often tell us later that their kids came back not only stronger but also with new favourite meals from the mountains! And that’s nothing less than compliments for us!
