Kathmandu Secret Food Tour and Local Market Tour
Kathmandu, the vibrant capital of Nepal, offers a secret food culture that tantalizes the taste buds with its rich and diverse flavors. Hidden among the bustling markets and narrow streets are culinary gems that showcase the city's gastronomic heritage. Be sure to try the "Newari Cuisine", a traditional dish of the local Newar community.

Street food in Kathmandu is another hidden delight. The city's street vendors offer delicious, affordable dishes that reflect a mix of Nepalese, Tibetan and Indian influences, from the spicy Momo dumplings, available in countless variations, to the savory Chatamari, often referred to as Newari pizza. Don't miss Laphing, a cold, spicy mung bean noodle dish that's especially popular with locals.
Exploring Kathmandu's food scene is more than just a meal - it's an adventure into the heart of its culture and traditions, where every bite tells the story of the city's rich history and diverse influences.
