Food being one of the basic need for survival, it cannot be ignored. Nepal, an ethnically and culturally diverse country, is the best place if you have a discerning palate for an impressive array of ethnic cuisines, or if you are a true foodie, or simply, an explorer of local culture.There is no better way to understand Nepal and the Nepali people, than through their cuisine. Nepal does not have one distinct cooking style. However, food habits differ depending on the region. Nepali food has been influenced by Indian and Tibetan styles of cooking. Authentic Nepali taste is found in Newari and Thakali cuisines.
