Delicious! - Amazing tour! The food was unbelievably delicious! I loved that each of the restaurants were hidden and full of locals. It was really special. My tour guide, Jivraj, was also really nice! I had a lovely time. Make sure to go with a completely empty stomach haha

Best of bests! - We love to do food tours when we are traveling and we were looking for a food tour in Kathmandu on Tripadvisor and this amazing secret food tour which is organized by I. Experience Nepal popped up and we decided to book with them and it was not disappointing being picked up from the hotel, stepped into the local area/market itself was an extraordinary fun. We were taken to the 7 to 8 different local hidden eateries and trying 9 to 10 different delicious local food was a very interesting experience. Our guide Swoyam had knowledge about the places, food and histories. Make sure to come with big appetite to enjoy all the delicious food. Highly recommended!

5 Star Experience - We did this amazing momo cooking class organised by I. Experience Nepal. It was a delicious activity to do when you are in Kathmandu. It was organised with a local family who has been delivering his knowledge about momo cooking since long. We tried making chicken and vegetables momos. Mixing up spices for the keemas, kneeding the dough, and folding them into different shapes and making tomato sauce was a very fun activity. We also got to try a local homemade drink called Aaila, sitting with the family and having the momos we shaped is unforgettable. And our guide/translator was also very nice and knowledgeable . Absolutely loved it, and definitely recommend.

Nice food tour in Kathmandu - Very fun things to do in Kathmandu. You visit different places than you would normally visit and you taste all kinds of different dishes. Highly recommended! Make sure you haven't eaten before the tour because you will get more than enough.

Highly recommended - When you think of food in Nepal, you would probably imagine dal baht and momo. These are actually very popular foods in Nepal, but I have to say that these are only the starters of the Nepali food culture, and there are many more different foods. The food stands and restaurants you will visit on this tour are not listed on the Google map, and they are mostly the places for locals. The food you will encounter there is very unique, and you may not like it. However, this is also part of the Nepali cultural experience. A few things to note: Try to be very hungry before joining the tour because you will be eating a lot of food. Also, it might be a good idea to bring handwipes as you will be eating food from the stalls. You will walk around the city so be prepared for that as well. As I was very interested in Nepali food culture, this tour was a very interesting experience for me. The guide was very nice and explained his life in the Nepal culture. I highly recommend this tour to all those who want to know about Nepali food culture.

Amazing food tour! - Excellent tour and a real unique experience. We were taken to local spots we would never have been able to find alone, including a great little tour of the backstreets of Kathmandu. A highlight of our visit! Thank you.

Great food tour - This was a fantastic day out walking the winding streets of Kathmandu. Our host was exceptional, sharing knowledge and local insight along the way. The food tour itself was not something you could do without local knowledge and was incredibly well curated. Great experience and fully recommend

Amazing tour - Amazing food in 7 spots I would never have found by myself. Additionally the tour included stops in historical and religious places. Make sure you arrive on an empty stomach because you get a lot of different food.

Foodies and explorers: do not miss this experience!!!! - An absolute “must-do” if you are interested in seeing an up-close and personal peek into Kathmandu. Jivraj guides you through the maze of alleys outside of the tourist district to places I guarantee you would never find on your own. At 6+ stops you’ll be surrounded by eager locals queued up for the most in-demand eats. On your walking journey between them Jivraj will share history and facts about what surrounds you. Expect to eat A LOT and learn A LOT! Jivraj is friendly and professional, speaks fantastic English, and keeps your safety and satisfaction a priority at all times.
