About this experience
Namaste! Come hungry to explore Kathmandu's culinary wonders on an immersive walking tour led by a professional licensed Tour and Trekking Guide and certified Barista. Having personally explored the diverse cuisines of India, Sri Lanka, China and Thailand, I bring a global perspective on hospitality and hygiene to every stop. I use this expertise to curate only the most exceptional eateries—hidden gems and centuries-old traditions you won’t find in any guidebook. From the aromatic spices of Asan Bazaar to the soulful street food of Thamel, we prioritize quality over quantity to ensure every bite is a safe, authentic taste of Nepal.
What sets this experience apart is the sincere connection we forge. Guided by the philosophy of Atithi Devo Bhava (a guest is like a god), I share the deep stories of our local vendors and the "why" behind every recipe. Join me for a meaningful cultural exchange and a journey through the heart and soul of Kathmandu.
Dhanyawaad/Thank You!
