Best Drinks for Kathmandu's Summer Heat

Pre-monsoon days in Kathmandu can get hot and dusty. When the afternoon sun is strong, here are the drinks that help most, all on our menu.

1. Banana Lassi (Rs. 120)

Creamy, cold and filling. Banana lassi is almost a meal in a glass and keeps you going through a long afternoon.

2. Plain Lassi (Rs. 100)

Lighter and tangier than banana lassi. Perfect if you want to cool down without feeling full.

3. Cold Coffee (Rs. 70)

Sweet, creamy and energising. A favourite for students and anyone with work to finish. Read our cold coffee guide.

4. Cold Black Coffee (Rs. 50)

Crisp and light, for coffee lovers who skip milk.

5. Lemon Water (Rs. 35)

Simple, fresh and affordable. Sometimes the simplest drink is the most refreshing.

6. Sprite Lemon Soda (Rs. 100)

Fizzy, sharp and cold, great with friends on a hot evening.

7. Horlicks Cold Drink (Rs. 100)

A nostalgic, malty, chilled drink that many people grew up with.

8. Chilled soft drinks (Rs. 65)

Coca-Cola, Sprite, Mountain Dew, Fanta and Slice are all available, plus water for Rs. 25.

Tips for staying cool

• Sit in the shade. Our garden seating is covered by bamboo and thatch.
• Drink water too. Sweet drinks taste great, but water keeps you hydrated.
• Go early or late. Mornings and evenings are the most pleasant times to sit outside.
