Patan Mornings: Tea, Dogs & Jeri Swari
Lalitpur, Bagmati, Nepal
About this experience
This isn't a tour, it's a morning I actually live. We start with a cup of chiya and real introductions, not itinerary talk, just who you are and why you're here. Then we walk Patan's old streets together, feeding the dogs I feed regularly, the same ones who know me by now. We close with jeri swari at a local Patan spot, the kind of breakfast that's been part of these streets far longer than any guidebook. Every booking also puts money directly toward building Nepal's first proper street dog shelter, something I've wanted to build since long before Gaunle existed.
Good to know
What to bring
Comfortable walking shoes, full-length pants and long sleeves (helps avoid nips while feeding), a light jacket (mornings are cool), camera if you'd like
Highlights
- Feed Patan's street dogs alongside Gaunle's founder
