On the first day of the tour (the day of arrival), tourists pay for breakfast and lunch themselves. There will be stops at roadside cafes along the way.
The instructor organizes three meals a day during the hike. Hot meals are provided for breakfast and dinner. Lunch is served as a snack, before going out on the water, or upon arrival at the parking lot. Food is cooked over a campfire, a gas burner or a primus stove. If you wish, you can help your guide. Tourists wash dishes (plates, cups, cutlery) themselves.
The following products are purchased during the campaign: cereals (rice, buckwheat, oatmeal), pasta, powdered milk, sausage, stew, cheese, dried fruits and nuts, chocolate, condensed milk, coffee, tea, bread, crackers, sweets, biscuits, vegetables (potatoes, carrots, cabbage), fruits. The choice of products depends on the type of tour, its complexity and duration. On the route, meals are supplemented with fresh fish, berries (depending on the season and area – raspberries, blueberries, currants, rosehips, shiksha), wild onions.
When hiking, we take water from streams, rivers, or, during winter mountain hikes, we drown it from snow and ice.
Tourists are sure to help the guides prepare firewood for the kitchen and the evening campfire.
The kitchen fire is served by a guide.
It is forbidden to dry personal and group items during cooking. Clothes can be dried on a campfire built for this purpose. Tourists maintain such a campfire on their own, without using firewood prepared for a kitchen fire.
Special information for vegetarians, vegans and people on a special menu for medical reasons.
If you don't eat meat, fish, or milk, they will be put in a common pot before they are ready, and you can set aside soup or porridge without them. However, products are purchased based on the needs of the majority of tourists. The list includes meat and fish pates, stew, cheeses, sausages, condensed and powdered milk. Vegetable products are also present: cereals, vegetables, nuts, fruits and dried fruits, but their quantity is calculated for each of the participants of the hike in equal volume.
Important! Unfortunately, we cannot purchase special products and add them to the menu. There are usually no more than 1-2 vegetarians in a group of 10 people, and trying to provide them with vegetarian products means organizing individual meals. This will distract the guide's attention, which he needs for a high-quality tour organization. Therefore, if you adhere to a certain food system for personal beliefs or medical reasons, we recommend that you take your usual nutritious foods with you for a snack and as an addition to a hot meal.
