Things to Do in Nepal Beyond Trekking

Nepali Cooking Class

After two weeks of dal bhat on the trail, most trekkers want to know how it is actually made. Half-day classes with local chefs in Kathmandu or Pokhara cover dal bhat tarkari, momo dumplings, sel roti and thukpa, usually starting with a market walk to buy the ingredients. Thakali cuisine from the Kali Gandaki valley — widely considered the finest regional cooking in Nepal — can be requested. You eat what you cook at the end.
