**Location:** Kathmandu, Nepal

## About

Step into the welcoming home of a local Nepali family and experience a tradition that has shaped everyday life in Nepal for generations. Tapari are biodegradable leaf plates commonly used during daily meals, rituals, and festivals, reflecting a deep connection between community, culture, and nature. In this family setting, your host will introduce the natural leaves used for Tapari, explain how they are traditionally gathered, and share their cultural and ceremonial importance in households and temples.

With gentle guidance from your host, learn the folding and stitching techniques that give each Tapari its strength and form. As you work with your hands, conversations naturally unfold about daily life in a Nepali household, seasonal festivals, family traditions, and how Tapari bring people together during shared meals and ceremonies. Enjoy simple local snacks while listening to personal stories and insights from the hills of Nepal.

The experience concludes with time to photograph your handmade creation before taking your Tapari home as a meaningful, eco-friendly keepsake. More than just a craft session, it concludes with a new skill learned, a meaningful connection built, and a new friend made, leaving you with a deeper understanding of Nepal’s living traditions and everyday lifestyle.
