Food in Nepal
Nak Cheese
A rare and flavorful cheese made from the milk of female yaks, or "naks," in Nepal's high-altitude regions. Known for its earthy taste and firm texture, it's a delicacy often enjoyed in soups, curries, or as a savory snack in Himalayan cuisine.
Thakali
A traditional food from the Thakali people of Nepal's Mustang region, known for its flavorful dal-bhat-tarkari (lentils, rice, and vegetables), tangy pickles, and unique spices. Often served as a set meal, it strikes a perfect balance of spicy, sour, and umami flavors.
Momo
A popular Nepali dumpling filled with spiced meat (like chicken or buffalo) or vegetables, wrapped in a soft flour dough. Typically steamed or fried, momo is served with a tangy tomato-based dipping sauce (achar).
