NEPAL
Nepal's classics.
3 of the most popular gurkha & khukuri experiences in Nepal. What each one involves, who runs it, and what it costs.
Kathmandu khukuri workshop with Indra the blacksmith. Hammer and finish a 6-inch knife, learn the Gurkha meaning, take it home.
“Namrata did an excellent job coordinating the event for us. In this workshop you will have the opportunity to hammer and grind the blade yourself. Overall, they made us feel like family from the moment we walked in. Would absolutely recommend to travelers!!”
Make a small khukuri blade in Kathmandu with a 42-year blacksmith. Hands-on hammering, safe grinding, and a take-home knife.
“We had a great time! The Blacksmith and also the guide were very sweet and helpful. Our knives turned out great and we are very happy with the experience.”
Make a Gurkha knife in Kathmandu. Small-group forge session with rosewood handle, tea and cookies, and a 100-year guarantee.
“Really neat experience. You’ll work with a long-time knife maker in his small forge. Near experience to be part of the knife making process. The guide who met me and translated was great and the knife maker was very friendly. The end product is absolutely beautiful.”
