White rice (bhat) is served with lentil soup (dal). It is often accompanied by spicy vegetables and sometimes a little meat. Nepalese generally eat this dish twice a day. We recommend taking a course of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.passeportsante.net\/fr\/Solutions\/PlantesSupplements\/Fiche.aspx?doc=probiotiques_ps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">probiotics<\/a> to prevent gastric infections, which can be a major source of discomfort. In this country with its wide variations in temperature and altitude, we recommend that you drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration sets in quickly when you exert yourself. Fortunately, in Nepal, people often drink tea or other fresh juices, as there is plenty of fruit to choose from!<\/p>\r\n<p>You will benefit from our personalised support on site, and you will have the opportunity to experience your adventure as close as possible to the locals, if you feel like it. &#8212;<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/francenepalvoyage.com\/en\/package\/home-stay\/\">See HERE<\/a>&#8211;<\/span><\/strong>&#8212; our immersion trip for more details.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><br \/>French-speaking guides will also be available for the trip of your choice, whether it&#8217;s a cultural trip or a trek.
