Traditional Fuel for Your Mount Everest Expedition
Yak milk and cheese are the nutritional backbone of the Everest trekking region. High in fat and protein, these dairy products provide the long-burning energy needed for a Mount Everest expedition and the long walk to the Mount Everest summit base.
Hard yak cheese (Chhurpi) is a staple for Sherpas. It is calorie-dense and stays fresh for months. Carrying a piece of Chhurpi during your Everest trekking adventure provides a steady supply of energy for the steep climb to Everest Base Camp.
Sherpa butter tea (Su-Chya) is made with yak butter and salt. The fats help maintain body heat in sub-zero temperatures, while the salt aids in electrolyte balance—a vital combination for anyone on a Mount Everest expedition.
By consuming local yak dairy, you support the traditional pastoralist economy of the Khumbu. It is the most eco-friendly way to fuel your Everest trekking journey toward the Mount Everest summit region.
Embrace the flavors of the mountain. Yak dairy is the natural fuel that has powered Mount Everest expeditions for over a century.
