ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This one’s got it all: Couchsurfing adventures, market missions, street snacks, and sacred temples. We roam through Thamel trying to find my host a shaver, snack on sweets at Tip-Top, return to Pashupatinath for a glimpse of riverside cremations, and somehow end up making vegan cheese sauce (don’t worry, I share the recipe). We try momos, battle minor food poisoning, and close out with my tried-and-true stomach survival tips. That’s a wrap for Kathmandu. Pokhara next!
