Tourists guides are dominated by articles on trekking, safari and monastery experiences and so Nepal's food culture often goes unnoticed. Below are 3 must have culinary experiences for the traveller in Nepal.

BARA, NEWARI CUISINE

Tucked away in one of Bhaktapur’s many market streets sits Hole in the Wall, a Nepalese restaurant that certainly lives up to its name.

Hole in the wall is one of the most intimate dining experiences to be had in Bhaktapur. The restaurant consists of a single low-ceilinged room which contains both the kitchen and dining area. Stooping low to enter you will notice the chef sat to one corner cooking on a large frying pan and to the right two small wooden candlelit tables.
