Fueling Your Mount Everest Expedition One Cup at a Time
In the world of Everest trekking, tea is more than a beverage; it is a ritual of hospitality. From the first cup in Lukla to the final thermos at Everest Base Camp, tea fuels every Mount Everest expedition.
Traditional Sherpa 'Su-Chya' (salted butter tea) provides essential fats and salt for those working near the Mount Everest summit. However, most trekkers prefer lemon ginger honey tea to soothe the 'Khumbu Cough' during their Everest trekking journey.
Arriving at a lodge after a long day of Everest trekking always begins with a warm pot of tea. This communal moment allows Mount Everest expedition members to swap stories and bond before the evening meal.
Tea is the easiest way to meet your 4-liter daily fluid requirement. The warmth helps maintain core temperature, which is a constant struggle during the sub-zero nights of a Mount Everest expedition.
Embrace the tea culture. It is the warm heart of the Everest trekking experience, providing comfort and energy as you move toward the Mount Everest summit views.
