Kathmandu Curry | Vegan Backpacking Meals | Freeze Dried Camping Food | 22g Protein | 1 Count

Product as described. First time using it and it tastes great. Will buy again.

This is absolutely delicious for a fall camping when it’s a bit chilly out. I split with 2 other friends and it fed us well and we LOVE to eat. I will give a warning shake it up a bit before putting the water and shake with the water. The salt and flavors tend to fall to the bottom so the first few bites were bland and it got very salty at the end for us. But it’s so good and a good hint of spice!

This curry has good flavor. I tried one at home, as I always do, before eating it on the trail. Not sure of it was unique to the trail one, or if it was just because things taste different after a long day, but it was SPICY! In fact, a little too spicy for my stomach. My hiking buddy loved it, but I'm gonna stick to the red beans and rice.

I love this flavor, it's in my top 3 of favorite backpacking meals along with Mountain House beef stew and beef stroganoff! Be warned, if you are one who is sensitive to spice this could be too much for you although I would say it's in the mild spice level. I take a packet of chicken and add it to the mix for a extra protein booster on the trail, so delicious!

Good curry flavor, and light to medium spicy. Prepared this just above sea level and fully hydrated in the time stated. Was like a thick soup using the 660 ml on package, gonna use less with the next one I try. And the amount was a good size serving. If your gonna split it into the 2 servings I’d serve with a good bread or another main or side from backpackers pantry. This batch has an expiration date in 2025. I’ve gotten some that only had about a year left on them.

Good vegetarian option. While the curry and rice is good and has a lot of flavor, the curry is pretty spicy--perhaps a "medium". The flavoring of the curry is also quite strong and rich. I was unable to eat more than a small serving--I just couldn't handle the very strong flavor. I would try it again, but it wouldn't be my top choice, just because I would prefer less spice. It would probably be very good as a side with other options rather than a main dish or entire meal.

Really liked this; in the past, most of my freeze-dried "on-the-trail" meals have been pretty standard stuff like biscuits and gravy, stroganoff, chicken alfredo. I really liked having something with a different flavor, more like I eat when I'm at home (I eat a lot of curry and other Indian food as well as food from quite a variety of Asian countries). The lentils made this quite filling. I ate both servings myself in one sitting because I needed the calories after hiking, but I could definitely see sharing this with someone if we also had some other snacks or side items to share (power bars, dessert items, jerky, etc.). Packed thin and light. Needs to sit quite long with the hot water compared to other meals I'm used to (15-20 minutes vs. 9 minutes). But if you realize that and plan ahead, it's not an issue at all, and it was worth the wait! Will definitely order again. I also plan to try some of their other meals.

Extremely tasty and filling. Having a meal of potatoes and vegetables while camping really makes one feel satisfied and ready for a days hike when compared with the gravy-filled mountain house meat that is typical. The nutrition facts are as good or better, with way more fiber that allows for easy bowl movements in the early mornings. With this one I would recommend adding a bit more water and dumping the remaining broth to avoid too much sodium (if you are worried - you should eat these after a long days hiking). I hiked with a couple of these meals (also the Chana masala) and a few mountain house (chicken fried rice, beef stew), and each night I wanted the backpackers pantry.
