A custom dinner menu for "Mr. George Wallach Michel"The Dwarikas Hotel in Kathmandu is a unique property. Built on a collection of traditional Nepalese woodwork and terra cotta architectural elements, it manages to reflect Nepal tradition while offering Western levels of comfort and service. It's et courtyard is a welcome respite from its central Kathmandu frenzied location. One of the attractions of the hotel is the Krishnarpan restaurant, which offers a multi-course "traditional" gourmet Nepalese dinner. The meal requires ordering in advance and can be selected based on the number of courses - six, nine, twelve, sixteen or twenty two feasts. We ordered the nine course dinner. In retrospect, six would have been fine.
In our room, Sigrid dresses for dinner...
The evenings are cool, and the pashmina shawl has come in handy.
