Freshly ground masala, every morning — at all three Desi Chai outlets in Kathmandu. See our menu
A cup before the highway, at the valley's western gate.
Kalanki is the western gate of the valley — the junction where the Ring Road meets the highway out towards Naubise and Pokhara — and the outlet in Khadka Gaun is built for that traffic. Drivers stop for a cup before a long run, families break a journey here, and the counter stays busy late into the evening long after the residential outlets have quietened down.
