Nepal Street Food and Newari Dishes You May Taste

This tour introduces Nepal street food and Newari dishes through small tastings and a seated lunch. Possible foods include momo, sel roti, bara, chatamari, and juju dhau. Your final menu depends on availability and dietary arrangements confirmed before booking.

Where the Food Tour Takes You

This food tour visits the market lanes of central Kathmandu and the heritage streets of Bhaktapur. Each stop combines food with a closer look at everyday life and local traditions.

Asan and Indra Chowk in Kathmandu

Around Asan and Indra Chowk, you’ll walk past ingredient stalls and neighbourhood eateries. Your guide explains unfamiliar ingredients and helps you choose from the planned tastings.

Food stops fit around vendor opening hours and your confirmed dietary arrangements. Expect walking through busy lanes, with pauses to taste, ask questions, and watch the market activity. For sightseeing beyond this programme, read our one-day Kathmandu guide.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square and Nearby Lanes

In Bhaktapur, the focus shifts to a seated Newari lunch, juju dhau, and a guided heritage walk. Your guide introduces the lunch dishes before you explore Durbar Square and surrounding lanes.

The afternoon includes food stops, time for photographs, and a seated break. Steps and uneven paving are part of the route, so comfortable walking shoes help. Bhaktapur Durbar Square forms part of the Kathmandu Valley World Heritage property.

For additional heritage sightseeing, explore our one-day historical places tour, booked separately from this food programme.

Food Tour Kathmandu Cost

For 2–3 guests, the package costs USD 530 per person. For 4–6 guests, it costs USD 504 per person.

Budget separately for international flights, visa fees, travel insurance, tips, and personal purchases. Extra food, alcoholic drinks, and beverages outside the confirmed menu cost additional amounts.

Your booking quotation will specify room arrangements, included tasting portions, and drinks. Solo travellers should contact Euro Asia for a quotation, as the listed group rates start at two guests.

Accommodation and Private Transfers

You’ll spend both nights at Kathmandu Marriott Hotel or similar, subject to availability. Bhaktapur is a daytime visit, so you return to your Kathmandu hotel after the food and heritage walk.

Your booking confirmation will identify the hotel and room category. If the named hotel is unavailable, our team will discuss an alternative before confirming your stay. Share your room preferences when enquiring, including whether you need a separate room.

Private air-conditioned transport covers airport transfers and journeys within the scheduled programme, including the return trip to Bhaktapur. Market lanes and heritage areas are explored on foot with your guide.

Airport pickup follows your flight details. Your guide will confirm the Day 2 meeting time based on your hotel’s location. Journey times can vary with traffic, so the sightseeing schedule remains approximate.

Dietary Requirements and Food Preferences

Tell us your dietary requirements before booking so we can check the planned meals and tastings with individual vendors. Available alternatives depend on ingredients, preparation methods, and the confirmed menu.

Vegetarian and Vegan Requests

Vegetarian and vegan requests need advance discussion. A dish’s name alone does not confirm its ingredients or preparation.

For vegan travellers, milk tea and juju dhau require alternatives or omission. We’ll check possible substitutions before confirming your food programme.

Allergies and Shared Kitchens

Tell us which ingredients you need to avoid, including sauces and toppings. Our team must check each request with the restaurants and tasting stops.

Shared kitchens may not prevent allergen cross-contact. We cannot guarantee an allergen-free meal or tasting, even when an ingredient is omitted.

Spice Levels and Drinks

Share your preferred spice level before the tour. Your guide can communicate requests, although some dishes and sauces may already be prepared.

Your quotation will specify included drinks. Alcohol and beverages outside the confirmed menu cost extra.

Walking, Timing and What to Bring

This Kathmandu food tour involves walking through market lanes and heritage areas, with tastings and seated breaks between sections. Expect steps and uneven paving around parts of the route.

Walking and Mobility Needs

Private transport connects Kathmandu and Bhaktapur, but the scheduled market and heritage walks take place on foot. Share mobility needs before booking so our team can check suitable arrangements.

Walking distances depend on the final stops. Ask for route details if walking duration or step access affects your plans.

Arrival and Departure Timing

Your arrival time determines whether an orientation walk and the scheduled welcome dinner are possible. Late arrivals require an adjusted dinner arrangement and may miss the cultural performance.

On Day 3, airport pickup follows your flight schedule. Request an early packed breakfast in advance, subject to hotel availability.

What to Bring

• Comfortable walking shoes: Choose a pair suitable for steps and uneven paving.

• Drinking water: Carry water for the walking sections.

• Weather-appropriate clothing: Bring layers, sun protection, or rain protection according to the forecast.

• A small day bag: Keep your daily essentials easy to carry.

• Spending money: Allow for extra drinks, personal purchases, and tips.

A lighter breakfast on Day 2 leaves room for tastings. Let your guide know when you need a break.
