kathmandu food tour

So, I signed up for this Kathmandu food tour thinking it’d just be a couple snacks. Nope. First stop was spicy buffalo meat with beaten rice, and bara, which is basically a lentil pancake. Both were awesome. Then the guide took us to this tiny grill spot for sekuwa, and I swear it’s the best meat I’ve ever had. After that, we went sweet with yomari, and honestly, I could eat those every day. Then came momo which were steamed, fried, in soup and I loved all of them. We finished with samosas, lassi, and tea, and by then I was stuffed but happy. Seriously, if you like food, you need to do this.

My guide kept saying, “Eat slowly, enjoy everything,” but I couldn’t help myself. Chhoila, sekuwa, momo, yomari and I was full halfway through and laughing at myself. Ending with tea while sitting and joking about my messy fingers was the perfect wrap-up. Guide’s advice? Important, but sometimes chaos is part of the fun.

I thought this food tour would be a cute little walk with a few bites here and there. Nope. Within 20 minutes I was already full. Chhoila was spicy, bara was super tasty, and then they hit us with sekuwa, all smoky from the charcoal. Just when I thought I couldn’t eat more, yomari showed up which was sweet, soft, and so good. Momo followed, and I basically forgot how full I was. Samosa and lassi were the final round, and we ended sipping tea while watching the streets get busy for the evening. Easily one of the best days I’ve had in Kathmandu.

I didn’t think I could handle spicy food, but the chhoila on this tour was next level. My tongue was on fire, but I couldn’t stop eating. The smoky flavor just kept calling me back. Bara helped cool me down a bit, and later, momo and yomari totally made up for the spice. By the end, I was full, sweaty, but ridiculously happy.

I’m usually more into savory stuff, but yomari completely flipped that for me. Soft rice flour dumpling on the outside, warm filling inside, it was like a hug in food form. The rest of the tour was amazing too: chhoila with beaten rice, crispy bara, smoky sekuwa, and of course, the legendary momo. We walked, we ate, we laughed, and we somehow made room for samosas, lassi, and tea at the end. But yomari… that’s the dish I’d come back to Kathmandu for. No contest.

At one stop, I accidentally spilled some chutney on my shirt and couldn’t stop laughing. The food was so good, I didn’t care. Between chhoila, sekuwa, momo, and sweets, it was impossible not to drool a little. By the time tea came, we were all joking, stuffed, and happy. Hands down the best food tour ever. Loved the team of Himalayan 360.

Eating sekuwa fresh off the grill, surrounded by the sound of traffic and people shouting in the market, was a whole experience. The meat was smoky, juicy, and spicy, exactly the kind of street food I dream about. I liked the momo, loved the yomari, but that sekuwa stop is the one I’ll remember the most because of the atmosphere. It felt so alive and real.

I thought I’d had momo before but turns out, I’d only had sad imitations. These were soft, perfectly folded, and packed with juicy fillings. The jhol momo (in a spicy broth) was my personal favorite, but I ate every kind they put in front of me. Chhoila, bara, sekuwa, yomari, and even samosas came and went, but momo is the reason I’d drag my friends on this tour if they ever visit Kathmandu. I’d probably skip breakfast just to eat more. My mouth is still watering while I’m writing this.
