5.00This food tour was AMAZING! Food is the best way to experience a local culture, and Deepak knows that and shows that. He’s so knowledgeable and passionate about food and Nepali culture. He himself has done a lot of traveling, so he knows what we’re looking for and can oftentimes compare many different culture aspects. This is a GREAT amount of food. In fact, come hungry! You’ll get healthy portions on the different stops, and you’ll be ready for the next stop/tastings after a healthy walk throughout historic Kathmandu. You’ll need that time to digest! ;) I would absolutely do this again, and highly recommend to anyone and everyone! Thanks, Deepak!
Fun, Friendly, and very Filling! Arrive Hungry!!!

5.00Arrive hungry! We stopped at 5 places and had 9 dishes, I was so full at the end I took a 2 hour nap! It was a great tour filled with a mixture of Nepalese History, backgrounds about food, the holidays, and how dishes are similar or different in other countries! We were able to ask questions, laugh, and walk away with a deep appreciation for the local food. It was a great tour. But seriously, come hungry.
A real taste of Nepal

5.00Deepak's walking tour was absolutely great. He took me to some off-the-beaten track establishments that I would never have found on my own. And introduced me to some local foods I hadn't seen before. It was a wonderful tour and I enjoyed it very much.
Great food and plenty of...
