Please note that Halal meat, Vegetarian, or Vegan meals are not provided during our trips. We travel to rural areas where such options are either not available or exceed the budget of our trip. We strongly advise travelers requiring Halal food to opt for vegetable-based options and refrain from consuming meat during the trip. 

While we strive to accommodate vegetarian preferences by requesting alternative options from restaurants where possible, in some rural areas this may not be feasible. If the provided food is not suitable, travelers must bring their own or purchase alternative meals during the tour.
