A Lunch to Remember in Kathmandu, Nepal

If it weren’t for Lindsay I would probably only eat cheap, and boring, fast food when traveling. Experiencing the local cuisine is such an essential part of traveling but for some reason I am too busy to stop and enjoy. Thankfully Lindsay has shown me the errors of my ways and she always helps us find cheap, but good, local food. For some reason a particular lunch on a sunny summer day in Kathmandu Nepal sticks out to me. We were wondering around the Durbar Square area of the city which is a beautiful collection of temples, monuments, etc (I have written about it before). We were getting hungry and decided to hit up one of the numerous rooftop restaurants that sit on the outskirts of the square. I don’t really remember what made us pick the particular restaurant that we did but I do remember walking up numerous steps before eventually coming out onto a beautiful rooftop full of small tables, plants, etc. There was nobody else up there which usually is a bad sign but this was simply because of the time of day. The sun was shining, the sky was bright and we had a corner table with a beautiful view over Durbar Square and the surrounding hills. We ordered our meal which consisted of Rice, Curry and of course a bottle of Coca Cola. We sat there and ate and enjoyed the incredible view over Kathmandu. Sometimes when traveling it is the simple experiences like this that you remember the most. That summer afternoon meal on the rooftops of Kathmandu is something we will never forget.
