Leave your hotel in Kathmandu Valley in a private vehicle and meet your guide for an exciting 5-hour food tasting tour. Upon arrival at the venue, begin with a set meal featuring samay baji, also known as Newari khaja, a traditional dish commonly served at many festivals in Nepal.

Renowned for its distinctive taste, cooking style, and natural spices, the dish includes chiura (husked rice); wo (mashed lentil cake); aloo ko achar (potato salad); chhoela (smoked goat, buffalo, or chicken); fried bhatmas (soybean); fried bodi (black-eyed beans with spices, garlic, and ginger paste); saag (salted leafy greens); fried anchovies; lava-palu (fresh garlic and ginger); and aila (homemade rice wine).

The meal is complemented by momo, a traditional delicacy consisting of minced meat (or vegetables, tofu, paneer cheese, or a combination of vegetables and meat) encased in a round pocket or crescent-shaped rolled dough. These dumplings are steamed and typically served with a dipping sauce, locally known as achar, with tomato as the base ingredient.

Following this, you will be taken to Bhaktapur to savor juju dhau, a sweetened custard-like yogurt that can be enjoyed at any time of day as a snack, with a Nepali meal, or as a dessert. Conclude your culinary journey with a drop-off at your hotel.
