Malekhu
Fish restaurant town on the Prithvi Highway, on the bank of the Trishuli River
Malekhu is a small town in Dhading district on the bank of the Trishuli River, roughly halfway along the Prithvi Highway between Kathmandu and Pokhara. It is Nepal's best known stop for freshwater fish, deep fried, smoked or curried, sold at a long row of riverside restaurants that most vehicles on this road pull over for. The town is also used as a put-in and take-out point for white water rafting and kayaking trips on the Trishuli River.
