Malekhu ko Maachaa

Sampling delicious, freshly caught fried fish of Malekhu. Cooking and eating Nepali food is a discovery of the culture in this fascinating Himalayan country. Malekhu, Dhading, is a scenic, sleepy, little village located about halfway between Kathmandu and Pokhara. It is a pleasant 3-hour drive from Kathmandu on the Prithivi Highway which overlooks the Trishuli River. We passed through rural villages and got a snapshot of a gaau-ghar (rural village) lifestyle while surrounded by breathtaking vistas of the river and the mountains.
