Our destination speaks for itself; Nepal is an ocean of both crafts and indigenous culinary. Nepalese handicraft history can be traced back to the
Stone Age when human beings were inadequate of tools of any kind. The history of artistic handicrafts only began during the 5th century AD, when
different religions began to form their bases among the people of Nepal. Hence we see a lot of religious influence on Nepalese handicrafts.
We visit art gallery, museums, and heritage sites, where craft, art and architecture are found immensely. The finest woodcarving and the best
sculpture are often part of a building - a temple is simply not a temple without its finely carved roof struts. The crafts also reflect the uniquely
Nepali melting pot where religious art has Tantric, Hindu, and Buddhist overtones and the dividing line is hard to discern. Other crafts you will find
in Nepal are silver, ceramic, pottery, metal, paper, thanka painting, stone carving, and much more.
Our crafts & culinary trips are designed for those human elements & skills that allow interaction with remote cultures, traditions, customs, markets
and their arts and crafts.
Our other destination Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim are also still favorable to travel for crafts and culinary. Our program revolves around the concept of
seeking, engaging, learning, experimenting and educating travelers.
