What To Expect
Thamel
Thamel is the bustling heart of Kathmandu’s tourism scene. Lively and colorful, this area is filled with shops, cafes, and street stalls. It’s a fusion of traditional and modern Kathmandu, making it the perfect starting point for your tour. Here, you’ll be introduced to the basics of Nepali street food culture while soaking in the energy of the city.
Jyatha is a lesser-known, peaceful corner near Thamel that holds a wealth of culinary treasures. This quiet residential neighborhood is dotted with small eateries and traditional shops. It’s here that we try local favorites like Newari snacks and freshly made momos in humble settings, away from the tourist crowds.

Amazing and Unique Food Tour!

5.00If you want to try unique, off-the-beaten-path foods in Kathmandu, book this tour! We visited small family-run spots and humble hole-in-the-wall eateries instead of Westernized places. It was a refreshing way to sample uncommon dishes like Laphing noodles and wander through Kathmandu’s maze-like alleyways. The guide, Ananta, was helpful, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the city’s chaotic, crowded streets—expertise I’d never brave the area without.
Fantastic food delights

5.00Warm and welcoming from the start, our guide Ananta provided a very knowledgeable food tour that covered history and culture as well. There is no way that we would have found the amazing food spots that we did- in fact, we would have walked straight past them, not even knowing that they were there. Thankyou Ananta.
