The Experience

Discover a hidden
side of Nepal

Most travellers leave Nepal without knowing that Himalayan coffee exists. While thousands trek to Everest Base Camp and explore Kathmandu's temples, very few discover that Nepal produces exceptional high-altitude specialty coffee.

This 1-hour guided experience takes you on a journey from farm to cup — exploring Nepal's emerging coffee culture in a personal, engaging, and unforgettable way.

Conducted by a certified Q Grader and PhD in coffee agronomy with 30 years in Nepali coffee.
