About This Tour

The Pokhara Food Tour takes you away from the lakeside tourist restaurants and into the local food scene — the street vendors, family kitchens, and small eateries where Pokhara’s residents actually eat. Over 5-6 stops, you taste the regional cuisines that make Pokhara a crossroads of Nepali food culture: Gurung dishes from the hills, Thakali specialties from the Kali Gandaki valley, and Newari treats from the Kathmandu Valley settlers who brought their culinary traditions westward.

Your food guide is a local who knows where to find the best sel roti at the morning market, which family makes the finest dhido, and the bakery that produces bread using recipes brought by Tibetan refugees decades ago. The walk covers markets and food streets that most visitors never discover.
