⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a fantastic day. I can’t recommend this tour enough! The food was absolutely delicious and authentic, and I even got to take some home… bonus! ✨ I got so much more than I expected. Deepak was incredibly knowledgeable, and I learned so much about Kathmandu, its culture and history while confidently navigating the bustling streets of Thamel. Thank you for an unforgettable day. I’ll definitely be booking with you again when I’m back in Nepal! 🇳🇵🙏
Deepak was a great host and very knowledgeable. We tried quite few dishes and gave us really good insight of the traditional dishes.
Namaste! Dhanyawaad/Thank you very much for visiting Nepal and spending precious time with me. I wish you a very happy and safe life:-)
We highly recommend our knowledgeable and super friendly tour guide Deepak. We were accompanied by two other solo travellers from different parts of the world and Deepak took time to speak to all of us individually which made us feel valued. We visited 5 places with Deepak - we had specialist Newari dishes which Deepak informed us that we would not be able to find during our stay in Thamel and he was true to his word - We did not see these items that we sampled during our 4 night stay in the city centre : that’s in itself was something a little bit different and special allowing us to try truly Nepalese food during our stay. We sampled Chatamari, Bara, Yomari, masala milk tea, Thukpa soup, pani puri, lassi, sugar cane juice & momo. It was the first time during our travels in Asia over the last seven years that we had tried a food tour and if the experience we had with Deepak was anything to go by we will be trying them again. It wasn’t just his knowledge of the food that was interesting, but he enlightened us with nepalese history and knowledge of the area. Deepak is a very pleasant and friendly young man. Please book with him for your food tour guide while staying in Thamel. We cannot recommend him enough 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Deepak is a wonderful host. He has great knowledge of Nepalese food in Kathmandu. He will take you to places only locals know about. All the food on the tour is delicious. My favourite was the lassi. I highly recommend taking a tour with deepak.

Fantastic experience and truly tried authentic Nepali food! Was able to buy authentic tea and spices as well. The guide, Deepak Kushwaha is very experienced and knows a lot about the food and culture!!

Deepak is a very competent and nice guide. The sometimes very small preparation kitchens would never have stopped on their own and eaten or drank anything. A great tour ! In any case, bring a lot of hunger! It looks like less than it really is. I haven't had to eat for a whole day. The rickshaw ride was also an experience in KTM's Wusel. This tour is highly recommended !

Deepak was an amazing tour guide, we are vegetarian and he catered to our requirements perfectly. We ate like a Nepali local and tasted all the flavours of Nepal. Our Rickshaw ride at the end was the icing on the cake. We did the 4:45pm tour and experienced the hustle and bustle of the streets on dusk to evening with all the energy that the streets offered us. Deepak was very particular on making sure the quality of food and drinks,(I drank the water that Deepak had pre organised at every stop) was safe and delicious. DO NOT EAT BEFORE THE TOUR! So much food! Thankyou Deepak 🙏🏼

This tour was great fun. A variety of food and drink in many dfferent kinds of eateries. The rickshaw picked me up at my hotel, but then we had short walks to each stop. It felt good to walk. Deepak then made sure I got back to my hotel. He is very knowledgeable and interesting. I highly recommend this tour. Don't eat much before you go as the food is abundant!
