I am Esther Rai, I love cooking different foods. since my child i used to spend time with my mom and sister in the kitchen, i used to enjoy watching and engaging with them in whole process of cooking. I feel very happy and joyful when people love eating what i cook. I started my cooking class program since covid-19 as i had to find ways for financial support for my family. Dal Bhat, momo, thukpa are the menu that i teach in my class and i do menu as per guest request. My idea through this class is to give experience of Nepali kitchen and whole experience of preparing food in Nepal. I take guest to market for buying all the ingredient for cooking and interact with local people. 1. We take our guest to local market before starting cooking class. They will experience market, interact with local people. 2. We location is very unique. We are 5m walking distance from Patan Durbar Square, where guest can explore authentic Nepal. 3. Cooking is my passion and i love doing and sharing it .

Delicious Dishes, Warm People – Perfect Experience!
Absolutely amazing experience! This class was a true highlight of my time in Nepal. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and so passionate about sharing their culture and food. Making momos, dalbhat, and thukpa from scratch was fun, hands-on, and incredibly tasty. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and we all shared laughs while learning traditional recipes. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable Nepali experience!

Explosion of flavours
We enjoyed the historical informations and traditons about Patan and Nepali culture. We liked it to go to the local market to buy fresh vegetables and meat. Was funny to cook with Ester and her colaborator.We've learned how to do momo, chicken curry and dhal bhat. We have discovered new spices. Great experience!!

Jai MoMo Guru
During our recent trip to Kathmandu, Nepal, I we just asked our local guide to take us to a nice Momo joint! We were a group of 8 and was hungry. He asked us whether we are looking for a highfi joint or an authentic joint! We opted for the second option! He took us to Mo:Mo Guru, which was 30 mts away from our spot. On the way, he called them up Momo Guru and ordered for 10 plates of Momos, all with different vegetarian stuffing!! Mo:Mo Guru is situated on the Maharajgunj Road, Kathmandu, 44600, Nepal! A small 15x15' place with just 3 tables! One corner was the Kitchen! About 7 varieties of vegetarian Momos were well distributed in each plate consisting of 10 steaming hot Momos! We understood that the traditional way they liberally add the 'Local Achaar' ( a thin chutney type made with sesame leaves) on top of hot Momos and serve. To make it more spicy, red hot achaar (like red chilli sauce) is added. We requested them to give both the achaar separately and added according to our requirements! It was so very yummy! Some of us could complete a plate and also had 4-5 more momos! The Momos there were Very tasty and filling. It was pocket friendly and also safe in our stomach!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Momo, Dhalbhat & Thukpa Cooking Class, Nepal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Momo, Dhalbhat & Thukpa Cooking Class, Nepal cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Momo, Dhalbhat & Thukpa Cooking Class, Nepal take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is Momo, Dhalbhat & Thukpa Cooking Class, Nepal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Momo, Dhalbhat & Thukpa Cooking Class, Nepal?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Momo, Dhalbhat & Thukpa Cooking Class, Nepal suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Momo, Dhalbhat & Thukpa Cooking Class, Nepal?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Momo, Dhalbhat & Thukpa Cooking Class, Nepal start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
