3.Nepali Dinner with Cultural Show in Kathmandu

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 5 reviews · from $70

Begin with hotel pickup at 6 pm, then settle into a traditional Kathmandu restaurant for a seasonal four-course Nepali dinner and cultural dances, including Manjushree, Kumari, Peacock, and Yak and Yeti performances. A small group of up to 15 people and return transport make this an easy evening introduction to Nepalese food and customs.

“The food is OK but the cultural show is somewhat limited and uses only 4 or 5 people to show the different dances from different Nepalese tribes or cultures. A much more varied and sophisticated show must be shown even if it will cost more. I don't think it is worth the money we paid for this show.”

4.Nepali Nights: Dinner & Cultural Dance Delight in Pokhara

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 4 reviews · 3 hours · from $25

Let an English-speaking guide such as Bidur or Pujan collect you from your Pokhara hotel or the airport, then settle in at a Lakeside venue for Nepali dance, music, and a thali dinner. Expect a relaxed three-hour outing, good seating help, and a ride back after the show.

“Bidur is a super wonderful guide who accompanied us during this unique experience. It is chill vibe, very relaxing with car pickup and drop from/to hotel and the dance is very good. The food is also good. Really recommend. We chat a lot about hiking and building good friendship. Thank you.”
