Our Story

Why We Started Yana Kitchen

Panauti has always been a place where food means more than just eating. It carries tradition, memory, and the kind of warmth that is hard to find in a restaurant.

We started Yana Kitchen because we wanted travelers to experience that side of Nepal. Not through a menu, but through actually being part of it. Cooking together, talking about where each dish comes from, and sitting down to share a meal the way it was always meant to be shared.

This is not a cooking school. It is a genuine experience built around Nepali hospitality and the belief that food is the best way to understand a culture.

A Real Home Kitchen

Not a restaurant, not a show. Just a home kitchen in Panauti.

Hands-On and Personal

You cook alongside the family, not just watch from a distance.

Made with Genuine Care

Every dish is prepared with the same love reserved for family.

When you arrive at Yana Kitchen, you are not just watching someone cook. You are doing it yourself.

You will learn to prepare traditional Nepali dishes using real ingredients and techniques passed down through generations. Every step is guided, beginner friendly, and relaxed. No experience needed.

By the end of the session you sit down and eat everything you cooked. Good food, good conversation, and an experience you will actually remember long after you leave Nepal.

Sessions are available for individuals, couples, and small groups.

You cook every dish yourself from start to finish, guided every step of the way.

Real Ingredients

Fresh, local, seasonal produce sourced the same way Nepali families have always done it.

Small Groups
