What To Expect
Asan
The tour begins from Asan, one of the most historical and lively markets in Kathmandu. As you step into this vibrant neighborhood, you’ll be surrounded by the hustle and bustle of local traders, street vendors and temple-goers. Your guide will offer a deeper dive into Asan’s role as an ancient trading hub while you explore the rich aromas of traditional spices and taste some of the best street foods that have been perfected over centuries. It’s a place where old Kathmandu meets modern energy, and the food tells its own unique story.
Next, we head to Chhetrapati, a quieter, yet equally rich neighborhood nestled just off the busy streets of Thamel and Asan. Here, you’ll discover some of Kathmandu’s best-kept culinary secrets. As you wander through its charming lanes, your guide will take you to local food stalls and eateries that showcase authentic Nepali dishes, from steaming bowls of thukpa (noodle soup) to Panipuri stuffed with flavorful fillings. Chhetrapati is where locals go for their daily meals offering you a more intimate, off-the-beaten-path taste of Kathmandu’s street food culture.
