Fish Curry & Beaten Rice At Malekhu, Nepal [00:16]
Malekhu is a small town on the way to Pokhara from Kathmandu. Nobody expect this place to serve some of the finest fish curry. The fish is small, like shishamo without the eggs, but they don't taste like freshwater fish at all. Great stuff.

As the ancient legend goes Kathmandu Valley was a lake a long time ago. Right in the centre of this lake was a full blown lotus with the divine light a top. When Maha Manjushri a saint from China heard about this he came rushing all the way from China to the Valley. He cut through the southern wall hill of the valley with his divine sword.
