Making a souvenir on your own with highly skilled artists of 3 decades of experience ,rather than buying it in a expensive price . A lot of the time we dont even know if the quality of the thanka painting is good ( hand printed or machine printed) when we buy in random shop corner. The experience we provide ensures that you not only get the authentic piece of art , you also get to go through the whole process and observe it. You can ask the questions and confusions about the artform. Our experience is also quite flexible as you get to choose your pickup location, you get to choose one design out of 3 and also the timings. We provide you one English speaking guide as well who will help you throughout

Wow! I had a fantastic time on the Thangka Painting Workshop tour. The tour took us to a real thangka artist workshop where several master artists and their apprentices were painting thangkas. The artist that helped me catered the tour to my level of ability and was willing to let me paint as much or little as needed to get a beautiful final product. I left with a beautiful thangka and a good understanding of the process behind this sacred art. The tour guide Aayam was also very friendly and provided clear explanations that gave me the needed context to appreciate this tour fully.
Amazing painting experience in Kathmandu

This was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Kathmandu! The master is so patient and sits with you throughout the whole process and teaches you how to paint it. Even if you make mistakes he will help you correct it. You don’t feel rushed for time at all and the final product you can take home as a great souvenir! I definitely recommend to do this when you have time!
