Description

Namaste! Come hungry to explore Kathmandu's culinary wonders on an immersive walking tour led by a professional licensed Tour and Trekking Guide and certified Barista. Having personally explored the diverse cuisines of India, Sri Lanka, China and Thailand, I bring a global perspective on hospitality and hygiene to every stop. I use this expertise to curate only the most exceptional eateries—hidden gems and centuries-old traditions you won’t find in any guidebook. From the aromatic spices of Asan Bazaar to the soulful street food of Thamel, we prioritize quality over quantity to ensure every bite is a safe, authentic taste of Nepal. What sets this experience apart is the sincere connection we forge. Guided by the philosophy of Atithi Devo Bhava (a guest is like a god), I share the deep stories of our local vendors and the "why" behind every recipe. Join me for a meaningful cultural exchange and a journey through the heart and soul of Kathmandu. Dhanyawaad/Thank You!

Friendship and food.

This tour with Deepak, is one of my favourite moments of my month long visit to Nepal. Deepak is kind and a gentle soul and he taught me so much about Nepal. The food and drinks were all amazing but the conversations and friendship with Deepak made this even better. I came to do tour for food and the food was best I’ve had in my A month stay but even better- I met a friend with big heart. Don’t think twice and book this tour with Deepak. As single female traveling, solo tours can feel intimidating. I felt very safe and had great conversation and food. Thanks Deepak.

Don't miss this hidden gem!

We were recommended this tour by some other travellers we met because of how highly they spoke of it. They were absolutely right and I would recommend this to everyone! Deepak was our guide, he was so kind, friendly and knowledgable. He took us to amazing places that we otherwise would have not even known existed, each place had delicious food and drinks. Food is an avenue to learning more about a culture, and Deepak was great at connecting the food to the land, so we learnt a lot about different areas and traditions of Nepal. It is good value for the price, but make sure to come with an empty stomach as it is a lot of food! Once again, I cannot overstate how helpful Deepak was, even after the tour he was happy to answer any of our questions and help book other tours and activities, he was the best!!

Fantastic guide

Deepak is a very knowledgeable guide, we learned a lot about the history of the food we tasted as well as the history and culture of Nepal. He took us to some fantastic eateries that we never would have discovered or tried on our own. The food was all delicious, make sure you are hungry when you go!
