🇳🇵Couchsurfing Kathmandu: Temples, Tip-Top, Momos & Food Poisoning Survival

from WANDEROUS · host Andrew Crusoe

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!Show Notes🎥 YouTube Short: Of the Gold of Pashupatinath Temple from the hill—haunting and peaceful.🪒 Shaver Swap Saga: My Couchsurfing host tried to trade razors with me. Yes, really.🥤 Correction Corner: I meant to say Pepsi Town, not Coca-Cola City. 😂🧀 Vegan Cheese Sauce Recipe: Got questions about the cashew sauce recipe? Drop a comment!🛕 Pashupatinath Caveat: This visit barely scratched the surface—don’t take this episode as a full temple guide.🚰 Water Warning: Here’s a blog article about fake Bisleri water that I mentioned.
