Nepali Cuisine

A mountain cuisine shaped by altitude, trade routes, and extraordinary ethnic diversity — more than 125 distinct groups each with their own food traditions, united by dal bhat tarkari at the center of every table. Nepal sits at the crossroads of India and Tibet, and its food reflects both: the spiced lentils and rice of the south, the dumplings and noodle soups of the north, the wild herbs and slow-cooked meats of the Himalayan middle hills.
