A pop-up restaurant has launched on Mount Everest for those whose hunger is only matched by bravery. A team of chefs hopes to set the record for the tallest pop-up restaurant in the world. The restaurant is located at Everest Base Camp, 11,600 ft above sea level, as reported by Travel + Leisure. The project is named Triyagyoni. Beginning in Lukla, Nepal, four chefs and ten diners will go on an eight-day trek up Mount Everest. During the hike, the group will forage for ingredients that will be turned into the final seven-course meal. The meal will also feature (non-foraged) wines.

“The biggest challenge of course will be the altitude, which will affect everything”, says Sanjay Thakur. He’s a top Indian chef and one quarter of the culinary team. “Flavour [perception] will be decreased, so we will be designing a menu of extraordinary dishes accordingly, where spices will have the upper hand,” Thakur explained, via Travel + Leisure. Tickets cost around $5,600, which includes flights, meals, and accommodation.
