Traditional Leaf Plate Making Workshop in Kathmandu

Experience the charm of Nepalese traditions with a hands-on leaf plate workshop. Begin your journey with a warm welcome and enjoy a cup of authentic Nepalese masala tea. Meet the skilled local artisans, affectionately called Ama, who will guide you through the process of crafting duna and tapari — traditional bowls and plates made from sal leaves. Learn the techniques that have been passed down through generations and discover the cultural and spiritual importance of these items in everyday life, festivals, and rituals. This immersive experience allows you to connect with Nepalese heritage while creating your own eco-friendly souvenirs to take home.

Discover more cultural crafts alongside the leaf plate making by trying twisted incense making and cotton wick rolling, two traditional skills closely tied to local customs. Throughout the workshop, you will gain insight into the history, values, and practices of Nepalese artisans, enhancing your appreciation for their artistry and devotion. Guests will be conveniently picked up and dropped off at their location, ensuring a comfortable and seamless experience. By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with not only unique handmade items but also a deeper understanding of Nepalese cultural traditions and sustainable craftsmanship.
