Note
1: Food. We provide pic-nic lunch and our guide carries it ( bread, fried chicken and eggs, tomato and cucumber, 2 kinds of fresh fruits, some small Vietnamese snacks )
If you have special request of food, Please let us know and we will change the food ).

There will be possible for some groups to have noodle soup for lunch at the camping site, (Different companies).
You can question. Why we do not make noodle soup for hot (We will provide some hot coffee to keep warm, if we have hot water at the camping site).
Reasons, why we do not prepare noodle soup
1: We do not know exactly your speed and what time you arrive at the camping site.
- The trek starts early in the morning. If you arrive at the camping site around 13h00-13h30, It will be very hungry and not enough power to trek (6 to7 hours trek without food).
-If you are too strong and arrive at the camping site around 9h00 am, it is not a good time and too early for lunch.
- If you trek half way and tired, could not continue the trek and must trek back, could not find a place to cook 
We want to be safe and NOT a gamble for the trek
2: Cooking only at the camping site (Forbidden to cook on the way, it is jungle and national park, no fire).
3: Their food is dry/instant noodles (Not fresh noodles, not healthy), have to cook it and then eat (Much cheaper than our pic-nic lunch). Most people do not like this kind of noodle soup (Not same like noodles in restaurants, not Pho). 
If you still prefer noodles soup for lunch, please tell us in 1 day before the tour starts, then we will prepare dry/instant noodles for the lunch.
