Traditional Incense Workshop with Tea and Cultural Stories
Welcome & Introduction
Meet your local host or artisan at the workshop. Begin with a warm welcome and a cup of traditional Nepali tea while learning about the history and cultural importance of incense in Nepal.
Learn About Phool Batti
Your host introduces you to Phool Batti, a traditional handmade rope incense used in homes, temples, prayer, and meditation. Learn about the natural herbs, plants, and other traditional materials used to prepare it.
Hands-On Incense Making
Now it's your turn to create your own incense. With guidance from the artisan, learn how to prepare the ingredients, combine the materials, and carefully hand-roll them into traditional incense ropes.
The activity is interactive and relaxed, allowing you to work at your own pace and ask questions throughout the process.
Tea, Stories & Cultural Conversation
Take a short break with traditional Nepali tea and snacks while your host shares stories about incense-making traditions, local culture, and the continued importance of handmade crafts in Nepal.
Finish Your Creation
Complete your handmade incense and prepare it to take home. Your guide will explain how it can be stored and used.
