Veganism is a fantastic way to learn more about nutrition and cooking while also improving your diet. A vegan diet consists solely of plant-based meals. All animal products, including meat, dairy, and eggs, are avoided by those who follow this diet. Honey is also avoided by some individuals. 

Veganism is a nutritional choice for some, but it is also a lifestyle decision for others.

Plant-based nutrition frees up more space in your diet for health-promoting foods like whole grains, fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables, which are high in essential fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Luckily, vegan travelers will find that Nepal has plenty of animal-free delicacies, along with a number of dishes that can easily be modified as per your convenience. Many Nepali people eat meat, but vegetarianism/veganism has long been a familiar concept given Nepal's large Hindu population and cross-cultural culinary influence. 

There are several restaurants in Nepal that serve vegan and vegetarian food. You can walk through the bustling streets of Thamel to find Nepali and continental vegan food options. If you are feeling a little fancier, you can visit Durbarmarg, Lazimpath, or Gairidhara to explore more exotic options. Additionally, if you are looking for an authentic Nepali food experience, eating a vegetarian Thakali plate is the ideal option since you can find it anywhere in the country. There are several vegan restaurants in Jhamsikhel, Kathmandu, and Lakeside, Pokhara, where you will find nutritious vegan food in an optimal price range. 

Lastly, veganism is not a new concept in Nepal due to not only religious factors but also because people are rapidly changing their food habits in order to live sustainably. There are numerous Nepali dishes completely devoid of animal products, and Nepalese cuisine has a lot to offer for vegans and vegetarians.
