Explore Kathmandu through momos, Newari dishes, lassi, tea, and street food with guide Deepak Kushwaha on a three-hour walking tour.

“This was a terrific food tour. I’d already spent almost three weeks in Nepal when I took the tour, so I didn’t expect to eat foods I hadn’t already tasted. I did, though. Deepak took us to fun spots that I wouldn’t have ventured into on my own. Do come hungry; you’ll eat a lot. Finally, Deepak is knowledgeable about Nepal and can answer any questions you have.”
