How to avoid tourist trap restaurants in Nepal

This. Absolutely.

I love that this family is making a go of their restaurant. I wish them every success. Money is money. People have to eat and pay bills. Supporting local and independent businesses is positive support, direct support, of something you want to see more of. Pragmatic business owners nearly always appreciate free positive advertising. Go Renu and Ramesh! Good on ya!

Since I don’t read or speak Nepalese, I for one am grateful for this English-speaking guide giving us the heads up. I have traveled along China’s east coast, there are plenty of tourist trap restaurants there too. I only wish I’d had the inside info on those before we ate in those.

The Nepalese have had a helluva time in past years with devastation and casualties from the 2015 earthquake(s). I salute their resilience.
