You arrive by private car as evening slips over Kathmandu, the city lights beginning to compete with distant snowcaps.

History
Dal Bhat evolved as Nepal’s staple because rice and lentils store well and provide balanced nutrition—an adaptation to the valley’s agrarian cycles and trade links.
Conservation
Hosts often use home-grown produce and compost kitchen waste; support this low-impact model by minimizing single-use plastics and declining bottled water when safe alternatives are offered.
