Food is one of the most important items for an enjoyable trip. After a long day of trek, nothing beats a nice and tasty meal to make one feel more at home than in the wilderness. More importantly, a hearty meal would ensure that your body is able to replenish the energy expended during the day's trek and provide the energy for tomorrow's journey.
When it comes to the selection of food and ingredients for the trek, the best options are those that are dried but can be rehydrated by soaking in water. Minimize food that is oily as washing will be difficult and dish washing liquid may contaminate the water. Some fresh food may also be included but they should be consumed within a day or two to prevent spoilage and to reduce the weight in your backpack.
