About the Himalayan Food Exploration Tour
Embark on an unforgettable 11-day Himalayan Food Exploration Tour that takes you on a culinary and cultural journey through Nepal. From the bustling streets of Kathmandu to the serene highlands of the Mustang region and the welcoming homes of the Gurung communities, this tour offers a deep dive into the diverse flavours and traditions of Nepali cuisine.
Starting with a hands-on cooking class in Kathmandu, you'll discover the secrets behind making popular dishes like Momos, Thukpa, and Sel roti. The adventure continues in Kritipur with a Newari food workshop, followed by a day dedicated to exploring the medieval city of Bhaktapur's culinary delights. The journey takes a thrilling turn with a flight to Lukla, leading to a heartfelt immersion into Sherpa's life and cuisine. You'll then venture to the Mustang region to learn about Tibetan food practices in Marpha and enjoy the rustic charm of Jomsom.
The tour culminates with a visit to the Gurung heartlands in Kolmakot, offering a unique opportunity to participate in local food preparations and savour authentic Gurung and Magar dishes. Your journey ends back in Kathmandu, filled with rich experiences, flavours, and memories that span the breadth of Nepal's incredible culinary landscape.
Tipping Recommendation
We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a meaningful way to support the seasonal workers who dedicate themselves to making your trip extraordinary.
By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.
