Eating in Namche Bazaar


Eating in Namche Bazaar

Namche is really geared for the ravenous tourist, and offers all kinds of delights. Namche's bakeries are quite famous in Nepal and, considering that the town is a six day walk from the nearest road, they bake up some amazing pastries. None of the bakeries are open during the tourist "off-season" from June until September. All the hotels have dining facilities open to non-residents. Again, during the off-season, not every hotel in Namche remains open.
  • Herman Helmers Bakery, located on the main street into town, has great apple pie and chocolate cake. The other Bakery items are delicious too.
  • Namche Bakery, located just down from the main intersection, really excellent, freshly made pizza and delicious Coffee.
  • Traditional Sherpa dishes include:
  • Rigi kur - potato pancakes, which are delicious eaten straight off the griddle and covered with dzo (female yak) butter and a sauce made of mature cheese and spices called sorma. Due to the effort involved in making rikikul, they are generally not listed on lodge menus. However, most places will oblige if you order well in advance.
  • Tzen - a heavy pate made from millet and flavored with spices.
  • "Thukpa" - Noodles with soup. Perfect for a cold day.
  • Additionally, be sure to try the delicious Nak-cheese, that can be bought in most of the stores and costs around 100Rs per 100g.
