Tap or spring water is generally not considered safe on the trek and most places in the country. We do not recommend drinking tap water or spring and river water when you are trekking. Bottled water and boiled & treated water is however, safe to drink. As far as food is concerned, we are not sure whether every teahouse or lodge will serve safe and hygienic food or not. But Himalayan Glacier has a set of protocols which our experienced and knowledgeable trekking leaders will always follow when it involves food, water and accommodation apart from other safety issues. Our guides and leaders will ensure that every meal that you eat is safe and hygienically prepared throughout the entire journey. We make yearly evaluations on the food quality and hygiene and ensure that the recommended parameters are met by the hotels and lodges who work in collaboration with Himalayan Glacier.
