Take the time to know a local family and have a meal

You are invited into the home of a local family. Our hosts were gracious and fun to get to know. They use a ton of spices in this dish. Don’t eat breakfast before you go, you have a lot of good eating to do!

Dal Bhat Class

We had an excellent time with Sarad! She was kind and patient as she taught us the local way to make dal bhat. It was so fun being invited into her home and kitchen to learn.
