Food
Some of the food is lighter, like just some berries, a soup or a cataloupe. In reality people usually snack between meals, and for many body types, this is natural and allows you to really fill yourself with nutrients. Therefore we add in snacks that can be eaten if desired.
We have a premade meal plan we adapt and tailor for your intuition, and then you choose what to eat while on the trip, but we will make sure we have a very nourishing and delicious plan running automatically while we explore in nature in Bhutan.
1. We send you our sample meal plan and you confirm or change the meals included and ask to make adjustments as necessary. Every meal has a number, and you can tell us how you feel like customising each one. This will serve as a basis and help us in planning food throughout trips and activities as a solid base for your nourishment that should be sufficient, but since we all are unique we welcome you to tailor any way you feel like.
2. You can also customise and tailor each day as the days go by if something must be tailored better for you.
3. We have extra food available and we can assist you in ordering other plant based foods or show you where nearby stores are if necessary.
