Nepali Food Safari

Overview

Culinary experiences in different countries always add something very important to our understanding of the diversity of cuisine landscapes; yet, we can also find common ground between them on many counts. While rice and lentils, fresh vegetable and meat may be the raw materials in many culinary cultures, it’s the techniques and spices that they go with, which make them so different and exciting. India’s neighbour, Nepal, is a case in point for sure – whether it’s the food, the beverages or the street food diversity. Nepal’s nettle soup is as unique as is the local Tongba, a fermented millet seed beer served straight up in a bamboo tumbler. But there is much more that we can enjoy on a progressive journey of street stalls, local shops, and restaurants, with delicious, intriguing and often unusual tastings along the way. Nepal’s Newari style wedding feasts are legend. Though we don’t have a wedding lined up on this tour there’s no harm acquainting yourself with its traditional dishes such as alu tama (curry made of potatoes and bamboo shoot curry), alu kerau  (a spicy affair with radish, potatoes, and green and small brown peas),  gainda gudi (a mix of different lentils) and hakuchoila (spiced ground meat, broiled). What’s exciting about this culinary tour is you do it by a vintage Vespa scooter ride through the popular eat streets.
