Why Mix Food and One-Day Tour In Kathmandu
The open border between India and Tibet, mixed religions and cultures, and differences in climatic conditions and adaptations to different foods make Kathmandu the best place for food and day tours. Likewise, Nepal does have distinct food and cooking styles, even for the same food items. However, food habits differ depending on the regions and areas. Most of the Nepalese dishes, whether popular or not, have the influence of Tibetan as well as Indian foods. It might be in the cooking process, spices, or ingredients. While authentic Nepali taste is found in Newari and Thakali cuisines.
There is no use of cutlery in Nepalese food and eateries. Most Nepalese food used to be eaten with hands. The most common Nepalese meal is Dal Bhat Set. Which is a platter of Bhat (boiled or steamed rice), Dal (any kind of lentil or bean soup), and Tarkari (dry or fresh vegetable curry). Furthermore, Dal Bhat Tarkari Set (also called Nepali Set or Thakali Set or Khana Set) comes with other hot spicy Aachar (pickle), yogurt, and Papad (crispy thin bread). Meat curry is very popular but is saved for special occasions traditionally, as it is relatively more expensive. However, almost all of the Nepalese meat items come with bone, skin, and a mix of all until you visit the big store or order separately.
