A great introduction to Nepalese culture - I had a fantastic food tour with Deepak within and on the outskirts of Thamel. He had an amazing knowledge of Nepal, the origins of the food we sampled as well as daily life in Kathmandu. He was able to answer all of my questions with ease. All the food and drink stops were fantastic, clean, friendly and most importantly provided local experiences.

Walk, Eat & Learn - Deepak was kind, knowledgeable and a joy to hang out with. His curated list of places to stop for a bite will leave you full and better off for having learned something culturally relevant. He even waited around at the end of the tour to ensure I caught a ride and returned to my hotel safe. Highly recommend!
