Begin your experience with a guided heritage walk through the old town, visiting the historic Bagh Bhairav Temple, traditional courtyards, and Kirtipur Durbar Square while learning about Newar history, architecture, and daily life.

As the golden evening light settles over the valley, arrive at the popular Sasa Twa Restaurant, where a traditional all-you-can-eat Newari feast awaits. Taste iconic dishes including Chatamari, Bara, Samay Baji, Choila, Aloo Tama, Buff specialties, and finish with the famous Yomari dessert. Complement your meal with traditional Thwon (Newari rice wine) or a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage.

The evening concludes with live Nepali music in a lively yet relaxed atmosphere, making this one of Kathmandu Valley's most authentic culinary and cultural experiences.
