If you're curious about the art of pottery in Nepal, Thimi is the place for you.
Found between Kathmandu and Bhaktapur, this small town is famous for its traditional terracotta pottery - a craft that's deeply woven into daily life here. Whether it's for storing essentials, decorating homes, or brewing the local Newari aila (rice wine), pottery plays a central role in the culture.
Fancy trying it yourself? We can arrange for you to get your hands dirty on the potter's wheel, guided by a local expert. You'll experience the entire process - from shaping the clay into something special with many techniques to learning about firing and glazing.
What's more, you're able to take your handmade piece home as a memento of your time in this charming town.
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
