Not to be missed!
We learned to make momo’s as a family and we had an absolutely AMAZING time! Sushila and Subita are two of the most friendly, funny and welcoming women I have ever met. Can’t recommend it enough!

Enjoyable time cooking with fun instructors
I had the privilege of having a private momo making class today. From the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly welcomed. I’m not a skilled cook, but Shusila met me where I was at. She was patient in her instruction, including demonstrating techniques multiple times to help me understand them. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I’d definitely recommend it to others. Also, the momos ended up tasting fantastic!

Making my first mo:mo !
I had an amazing time with Sabita and Rezoo ! The venue is beautiful, a well equipped kitchen on a rooftop, in the middle of Thamel. I was the only one who booked that day so I got to enjoy a private session. Sabita was patient while teaching me everything, and also very nice to have a chat with. We made more than 20 mo:mo and I got to eat so many, it was delicious ! I highly recommend this cooking class, it's a must do in Kathmandu :)

Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes cost?
+
Prices start at $18 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 Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 60 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 Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes?
+
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 Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes?
+
Around 21 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes 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.
What is included in Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes?
+
Included: Languages offered: English; and Lunch. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes?
+
Come to Vashali Hotel and then ask for directions to Spize restaurant or Karnali Organic Thali by Spize - we are located in the same building. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Traditional Nepali Momo Making Classes if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
