Dal Bhat is a traditional meal and the recipe is easy: cut the vegetables and mix them with an assortment of spices (turmeric, cumin, ginger, garlic) so that it’s full of flavor.

While going back to the hotel, the host will give you a Lakhamari (sweet traditional snack) or a souvenir. Later, You will be driven back to your hotel the night after dinner.
