Hotel Pickup
In the afternoon, our friendly local guide will meet you at your hotel for an immersive street food adventure through the heart of Kathmandu. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes—this journey winds through the city’s maze-like alleys. Don’t forget to inform your guide of any dietary restrictions or food preferences in advance so we can tailor the experience safely and thoughtfully.

Begin the Culinary Tour
Kathmandu—city of temples and culinary traditions—is a cultural crossroads nestled in the historic Newar heartland. On today’s tour, we’ll explore legendary neighborhood food spots known only to locals and deeply rooted in Nepal’s gastronomic heritage. You’ll taste at least five secret, time-honored dishes during this walking feast.

We’ll dodge buzzing motorbikes and wander into hidden corners to find eateries established generations ago. Our first bites include authentic Newari staples:

  • Chhoila – smoky, spiced buff or chicken
  • Bara – crispy lentil pancake
  • Aloo and Sekuwa – seasoned potatoes and grilled meat skewers
  • Yomari – steamed dumplings filled with sweet molasses or creamy pudding

Next up: Nepal’s beloved momo—juicy dumplings with a cult following. Try the iconic buff momos served with tangy homemade chutneys for a true Kathmandu flavor explosion.

Vegetarian? You’ll love the crispy Samosa, a golden-fried pastry packed with spiced potatoes and bursting with bold taste.

To wrap up the flavor trail, we’ll cool off with a glass of Lassi—a rich, sweet yogurt drink. Expect a crowd; this refreshing classic is one of the city’s most sought-after sips.

Return to Hotel
After indulging your senses and filling your belly, you’ll be comfortably dropped back at your hotel. Want more? Let us know—we’d be happy to plan your next culinary day trip.
