A food day in Kathmandu beats sitting still. You’ll start with hotel pickup from Thamel, ride a rickshaw to the Ason market, then cook a full Nepali meal with an English-speaking instructor. It’s a nice mix of street-level shopping and…
A cooking class in Thamel, but with a bigger purpose. You get a women-led Nepal cooking session focused on farm-to-table ingredients and the kind of hands-on fun that makes the 3 hours fly. I especially like how the class doesn’t…
Make jewelry, help a cause. This Kathmandu workshop pairs hands-on making with a strong social mission, and you get to leave with your own creations—up to 7 pieces—made during a 3-hour session. I like how direct it is (you design…
Cooking in Thamel beats guessing what to order. This half-day class ties a local market visit to hands-on cooking, so you leave knowing Nepalese flavors in a way menus alone never teach. I like that the instructor walks you through…
Dinner starts before you learn the first stir. This hands-on Kathmandu class is all about cooking real Nepali food with guidance, and yes, momos are part of the mix. I like that you don’t just watch a demo—you cook one…
Momos start with your hands, not a menu. At Women Led Namaste Cooking School in Thamel, I love the hands-on focus on dough kneading and the way the English-speaking chefs coach folding step by step. The kitchen setup also feels…
Your morning gets edible fast. This cooking class in Patan starts with a local market walk and turns into real hands-on time making momo and dhalbhat with Esther Rai (with help from Amos). I also liked how the experience stays…
Momos are easier than you think. This Kathmandu momo-making class turns a cooking session into a small food adventure, starting with a guided market tour and moving straight into hands-on instruction. I like that you can choose your filling style…
Cooking momo in Kathmandu beats watching. It’s a hands-on, women-led class that centers on real Nepali techniques, not just recipes. You also get a market/shop visit, so you learn how people actually pick vegetables, spices, and meat before the stove…
Two days, one purpose, and plenty of food. I love the hands-on momo-making and the way the project turns your cooking time into real support for women in Nepal. You’ll also get a friendly, low-pressure vibe in the room, so…
Wood carving has a way of slowing you down. In Kathmandu, you get hands-on time with local craft and a real piece to take home. Two things I really like: you practice real techniques (not just watching), and the small…
Food lessons in Kathmandu hit different. This half-day class pairs a Thamel market walk with cooking instruction led by Nepali women, so you get context for the ingredients before you start cooking. You’ll learn by doing, then sit down to…
Food lessons start with a real market walk. In Kathmandu’s Thamel, this 3-hour class pairs a guided ingredient hunt with hands-on cooking taught by Nepali cooks, so you’re not just copying recipes—you’re learning why the spices and techniques matter. All…
A khukuri starts as plain metal. In this small workshop in Nepal’s Bagmati Zone, I like that you learn the meaning of the blade and then take part in turning iron into your own 6-inch knife. You’ll work with a…
You fold the momo and steam it right away. This Kathmandu class is interesting because you shop for ingredients first, then cook with a real chef’s pacing and technique, with momo and dal bhat at the center. I love the…
