Our cooks are careful to prepare your meals with your enjoyment in mind. Typically these plentiful meals will be primarily vegetarian in nature with some meat or protein in the form of canned fish or tofu. This is typical of the Ladakhi diet in general. Our cooks are encouraged to use hand sanitizers such as alcohol based gels prior to food preparation. You are encouraged to do the same. Dishes are typically stainless steel bowls and pans and are cleaned after meals with scrub pads and soap. Our staff will provide rehydrating liquids in large quantities throughout your trek. Take advantage of tea, coffee, juice boxes and water whenever you can. At altitude it is typical not to feel much hunger or thirst. Make sure you stay adequately fed and drink plenty of fluids, both at meals and along the trail. During the summer, heat can be a real factor requiring significant intake of liquids while you trek. Carry 2 liters of water with you.

Incredible Ladakh with incredible dreamladakh team !!!!!!!! 15/07/2014
I have done several tours and treks with Dreamland over the years, and I warmly recommend the agency. They are highly professional but at the same time very friendly and welcoming. I have trekked in the Zanskar, Markha valley and a trek to Tsomoriri lake with them, and all the treks were perfectly organized from beginning to end. The agency frequently uses guides from the area where you trek, this makes the trip both safer and more interesting, as the guides know the route very well as well as the local people on the way who may invite you in for tea and a glance into local daily life. The monastery and lake tours I have done with Dreamland have also been very interesting and nice, with careful and excellent drivers. All in all, Dreamland is for me the best trekking and tour agency in Leh, as I have tried numerous others.

- 12:00 Lunch along the route, often in a meadow or beside a stream. A typical lunch might consist of a sandwich, juice box, cheese, boiled egg, boiled potato, apple, cookies or chocolate bar.
- 17:00 In camp with a pot of tea after a great day of sights and trekking. The tent is up and you are making notes in your journal and taking photos of the picturesque landscape.
- 18:30 Supper is served. Time for more tea and, perhaps, an early bed.
Expect to have rather lengthy days of travel with plenty of time to take photos and look at the scenery, visit tea tents or local villages as you pass through. You will have plenty of time in camp each evening to meet with other travelers, compare notes, read a bit, take photographs or visit surrounding villages or sites either before or after your supper is served. By starting early you will have made substantial progress in the cooler part of the day, and will be able to take your time ascending the passes which can be up to 17,000 feet (5,180 M) on some routes, arriving at your next camp with some reserves of energy for the evening.
