October and April fill first, and the strongest shopping tours go before the rest of them. The 11 here are the ones to build a week around, with current prices and a plain account of what sets them apart.
2-hour Kathmandu secret food crawl at Ason Bazar with guide Santosh, sampling at least 5 dishes with drinks for $28.
“It is a must-do for every foodie. Being taken to places I would have never visited on my own is an invaluable experience. Also, I would never dare try some of the food otherwise. Great guide, great immersive culinary/culture route.”
Kathmandu food and shopping tour with a rickshaw ride, lunch and dinner, and guided stops in Thamel, Asan, Jyatha, and Chhetrapati.
“I had a lot of fun with my guide and the group I was with. It was not boring! I learned the history of the foods I was eating and met with the locals who made it. I was introduced to different types of Napeli foods that I had not tasted in the two weeks I’ve been here. The drinks were good too. I left the tour STUFFED! Definitely worth the money.”
Two hours of Kathmandu street food tastings in Thamel and Ason Bazar, led by an English guide, with minimum 5 bites.
“the guide brought me to try the lesser known foods in Kathmandu, and visited places that mostly only locals wil be aware of (off the grid). it's an enriching experience about the food and cultures of Kathmandu, and exciting treat for the taste bud.”

Taste Newari classics and street favorites on a 2-hour Kathmandu food crawl to Ason Bazar with English guide Santosh. $28 per person.
“Such a fun way to sample some of the local delicacies off the beaten path. I loved all the dishes we sampled and the portions were huge! Combined, the samples were almost 2 full meals. The tour of the market was also very informative and our guide provided us with some great history along the way. Would highly recommend.”

Walk Kathmandu’s oldest Ason bazaar and UNESCO Durbar Square, with a short chance to see the living goddess Kumari. 2-hour tour.
“Seeing the Kumari is a really special experience, expert guide through the market and Kathmandu Durbar Square, an ideal tour to begin to orientate yourself in the city.”
Taste Nepali street food, sip masala milk tea and sugarcane juice, then ride a rickshaw through Thamel to shop.
“The foodie walking tour weaves through lively alleys around Thamel, stopping off for various treats like steaming momos, spicy samosas, fresh cane juice and the delicate Panipuri. Deepak was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing the rich history of typical Nepalese cuisine. Come hungry, wear comfortable shoes. As a title though, it is a bit confusing as it is not ‘all’ part of the tour, though it can be arranged. Deepak showed some shops separate to the rest of the group who left after we finished the food. Come with an idea of what you want to buy.”
