Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Kathmandu

In 1986, the Israeli embassy in Kathmandu organized a Passover celebration as a service to the 7,000 Israelis who visit Nepal annually. The celebration was taken over in 1999 by the Chabad. According to the Nepal Ministry of Tourism, 7151 Israelis visited Nepal in 2012, staying an average of 16 days. Although Israelis comprise only about one percent of total tourism in Nepal, their mark is noticeable. Chabad is the place to get kosher food, they are open for food from the late morning until the evening.
