\"annapurna\"<\/a>Vegan around Annapurna – what can you expect?\u00a0Frankly, I had no idea what to expect.\u00a0Travelling as a vegan has been hard at\u00a0times, but I started to get the hang of it I guess.<\/p>\n

Without any reseach I embarked on\u00a0a bus trip towards to unknown. My decision to do a hike had been\u00a0made 2 days before, and I only briefly found time to go to the supermarket and stock up on\u00a0snacks.<\/p>\n

This is how I survived the Himalayan mountains on a vegan diet:<\/p>\n

I started by\u00a0trying out the fried noodles, soup and Thukpa, but those are tricky dishes to order. It\u00a0depends from lodge to lodge how they are\u00a0made.<\/p>\n

Noodles for example, will always be instant noodles from a package. It\u2019s incredibly bad for you, so after one time, I never tried it again. However,\u00a0I\u2019ve seen people order \u00a0it and get two packages of high-sodium noodles on their plate\u00a0for eight times the price.<\/p>\n

Soups are another story. Sometimes they are freshly made, and other times, they just lie and say it is not\u00a0from a package. I\u2019m actually convinced that more than 90% of the soups I\u2019ve eaten which were\u00a0claimed to be freshly made, were actually instant. And some other\u00a0times, they clearly gave me\u00a0instant noodle soup without the noodles. Ugh. And then there was\u00a0another time where people lied to me,\u00a0saying there was no milk whatsoever in my soup. Later, I found the soups I\u2019d gotten in the\u00a0supermarket and the list of ingredients was depressing.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/a>So, always ask if the soup is freshly made, ask if you can watch them make it (open kitchens are\u00a0very common in Nepal, I\u2019ve seen a lot of my food being made), and stress the fact you have\u00a0allergies, because food choices for Nepali are an\u00a0unknown luxury. Also, even if you tell them you\u00a0have allergies, they tend to lie because they just don\u2019t understand. You can\u2019t blame them.<\/p>\n

Vegetarian spaghetti, fried macaroni and veg curry are mostly safe, but will contain loads of oil and\u00a0spoonfulls of salt. Also, you will have a hard time finding\u00a0vegetables on your plate. It’s mostly\u00a0just a\u00a0tiny bit of shredded cabbage. And did I mention the excess salt?<\/p>\n

The higher I climbed, the more I started to settle for Dal Bhat. This is the national dish with at least\u00a0a descent amount of vegetables. 80% of the people in Nepal have this dish at least twice a day. 90% of\u00a0Nepali have never survived a day without*.\u00a0The dish consists a mountain of rice, a lentil soup, fried potatoes and vegetables. On top of that, you\u00a0can ask for a refill as much as you want. So you can stuff yourself until you are more than full.\u00a0Once again, most of the food is very greasy.<\/p>\n

Upside: Nepali don\u2019t use animal oil, because it is too expensive. They use sunflower oil instead.<\/p>\n

I tried to get Dal Bhat in the morning.\u00a0Dal Bhat power 24 hour, no water no shower!\u00a0It\u2019s true–this dish gives you enough energy to climb a mountain (what a coincidence!).\u00a0However,\u00a0most of the lodges don\u2019t want to go through\u00a0the effort of making it in the morning and will ask you to settle for\u00a0something else (like veg curry of oatmeal). So I had Dal Bhat and 2 refills for lunch and a very\u00a0small snack in the evening (like some nuts or dried fruits).<\/p>\n

Dal Bhat never got boring to me, but my butt wasn\u2019t really happy with it.\u00a0Still, the menus are the same EVERYWHERE. And it does get frustrating sometimes — you never know\u00a0what to order, because the same dishes turn out differently everywhere. You never know what you\u2019ll\u00a0get in front of you. I\u2019ve had so much\u00a0disappointment from\u00a0not getting what I though I\u2019d\u00a0get. Everyone has his own interpretation.\u00a0The soup could be great and freshly made or instant and loveless. Your veggie curry could contain\u00a0tons of vegetables, or only potatoes and taste like the ones in the Dal Bhat you\u2019d had the night\u00a0before.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/a>If I would have known then what I know now, I would have done it very differently.\u00a0Since the food is so greasy and salty, and not to be trusted as vegan, I would recommend you pack\u00a0up spices, some soy sauce, Marmit, peanut butter, tomato paste…whatever you like, and pay for\u00a0your stay. Uh, wait, what? The lodges are free? Yes, they are — if you promise to eat in their\u00a0restaurant. Clever, but if you take the above mentioned\u00a0factors into consideration, it\u2019s not a fair deal: you\u00a0will spend at least 1000 rupees and have crappy food in return.<\/p>\n

My solution: better to pay for your bed (max 250 rupees) and order plain dishes like plain rice,\u00a0spaghetti or macaroni and green salad. Watch out though — sometimes if you order \u201cplain\u201d, they will over-fry it and you\u2019ll end up with oil, salt and a little bit of spaghetti. Specify \u201cwithout oil, salt or\u00a0anything, just cooked, nothing else\u201d. (Really, you will thank me later.) Then you can just do your own magic\u00a0with your small survival package. For example: add some soy sauce and spices to your plain rice.\u00a0Or add soy sauce to the end of your peanut butter jar with some garlic, ginger and chili, shake it\u00a0well and add it to whatever dish you like. It is a super handy and delicious sauce!\u00a0Or you can do the same\u00a0with tomato paste and some water, basil, garlic, onion, etc. and\u00a0add this to your spaghetti. Yum!<\/p>\n

Now that you know what to expect,\u00a0you can choose whether you want to eat unhealthy during your trek or\u00a0carry along your own condiments on your poor back. Next time, I’ll go for the second option for\u00a0sure.<\/p>\n

* These numbers are based on a personal survey, but come close to the truth.<\/p>\n
