Overview

Many travelers get hooked on momos (steamed dumplings) and dal bhat (rice and lentils) when visiting Nepal. But once your vacation ends, it can be hard to get your Nepali food fix back home. During this small-group cooking class, learn how to prepare your choice of either dish yourself, receiving hands-on instruction from a local family of home cooks. Then, sit down and enjoy your own freshly prepared meal.
  • Choose between lunchtime (dal bhat) and evening (momos) cooking workshops
  • This is a small group class capped at five guests, so you'll be guaranteed personalized instruction
  • A home-cooked meal is included, paired with complimentary soft drinks and water
  • Workshops take place at Hotel Diplomat, less than 10 minutes by foot from Phewa Lake

    Great experience to do at a central location in Pokhara. It’s run by a father/son combo who were very friendly, enthusiastic and happy to answer any questions we had! You get to make it all from scratch, and leave with a belly full of delicious momos. Would recommend to all!

    Fun and tasty!

    We love momos! They are tricky to make though! Nothing beats hands on teaching to learn the technique, with instructions on finger and thumb placement, grip pressure etc. It was a really fun class, and good to chat as we ate our tasty and beautifully imperfect creations!

    Great local experience!

    Wonderful experience and delicious food!

    We had an amazing time with Sandhya making veg momos during our trip to Pokhara earlier this year. I would highly recommend the cooking course to anyone visiting. It is a unique experience that gives you something beyond pictures and memories to bring home - we made delicious momos using her recipe for our families upon return. Thank you for a wonderful time!

    Cookery fun

    Really enjoyed the cooking, it was really good fun and you can make the dishes to your own taste. Our host was great, I would recommend this.

    Lovely family

    We really enjoyed to cook MoMo‘s in your kitchen. It really could not have been better. We’ll definitely never forget the warm laughter of the lovely mom once we started to form the MoMo’s by ourselves. We can highly recommend this experience. Thanks for everything!
