🍽 Food
Try this traditional platter with beaten rice and spicy side dishes in the small eateries within the old Lubhu area.
These buffalo meat dumplings are available at almost every corner; look for busy stalls along the Imadol road.
Often called 'Newari pizza', this rice-flour crepe is best enjoyed at small family-run spots in the residential lanes.

Mahalaxmi Municipality is located in the southeastern part of the Kathmandu Valley and belongs to the Lalitpur District. It was formed by the merger of several smaller villages and is one of the fastest-growing municipalities surrounding Kathmandu. Its landscape is a mix of rapidly expanding urban areas and remaining agricultural lands and small forests. The municipality benefits from its proximity to the city centers of Lalitpur (Patan) and Kathmandu, and is well-connected via the Ring Road. Development is rapid, with numerous new residential and commercial buildings. Mahalaxmi hosts several temples and shrines that are important to the local community. The challenge for the municipality is to manage the rapid growth while preserving environmental quality and the remaining green spaces.
