Newari food walk through Asan and Indrapurनेवारी खाजा यात्रा

Highlights

Three and a half hours, eight stops, one very full person. Nirmala walks you into the courtyards where the chatamari is cooked on a clay pan at 07:00, the buff-choila place with no sign, and the yoghurt man who has had the same cart since 1984. Ends with a bowl of kwa kali cooked in the courtyard at the top of the lane.

• Nine tastings — chatamari, bara, choila, aalo tama, sel roti, juju dhau
• Courtyards with no sign, and the yoghurt cart that has been there since 1984
• Asan spice lanes on a morning before the motorbikes own them
• Ends with kwa kali in the courtyard at the top of the lane

Runs daily at 08:00. Skip Fridays if you want the Asan lanes walkable.
