Descrizione
Immerse yourself in the culinary culture of Kathmandu on a walking tour of Thamel. Sample a variety of local dishes and drinks, learn about the history and significance of each dish from your guide.
Embark on a culinary adventure through the heart of Kathmandu on a guided walking tour. Explore the vibrant culture of Thamel, the city's iconic tourist hub, and sample local dishes that locals cherish.
Meet your guide and set off on a journey through Thamel, the cultural and commercial heartbeat of Kathmandu. Amid its colorful chaos of narrow alleys, boutique shops, and street vendors, lies a treasure trove of authentic Nepalese food.
Begin with introductions to some of Nepal’s most beloved snacks. Try sel roti, a sweet, crispy rice doughnut-like bread, often paired with yogurt or spicy pickles. Another favorite is momos, Nepal's famous steamed or fried dumplings filled with seasoned vegetables, chicken, or buffalo meat.
Learn the art of dipping them into tangy tomato chutney as your guide shares the history of this Himalayan delicacy. Quench your thirst with a variety of local drinks that reflect Nepal’s diverse food culture. Savor a refreshing glass of lassi, a sweet and creamy yogurt-based drink, or try chiya, the Nepali take on spiced milk tea.
For those feeling adventurous, sample raksi, a traditional distilled spirit often served during festive occasions. After exploring appetizers, dive into more substantial offerings like dal bhat, the quintessential Nepalese meal comprising lentil soup, rice, and assorted accompaniments such as spicy pickles, sautéed greens, and curried vegetables.
Depending on the season, you might encounter specialty dishes like aloo tama, a tangy bamboo shoot and potato curry, or yak meat dishes, popular in colder months. The tour concludes with Nepalese desserts, such as juju dhau (a creamy, sweet yogurt from Bhaktapur) or lal mohan, deep-fried dough balls soaked in syrup.
As you wander through Thamel, your expert guide will enrich your experience with stories about Nepalese food traditions, the influence of regional cuisines, and the cultural role of food in daily life. Learn how spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander are not just flavor enhancers but also part of ancient Ayurvedic practices.
Discover how festive dishes differ from everyday meals and why food is an integral part of Nepal’s hospitality.
