What you can expect

  • The Legendary Khukuri Making Workshop
    Step into the world of the Gurkhas and witness a timeless ritual at our exclusive Khukuri Forging Workshop. Here, you will see that the Khukuri is more than a simple knife; it is the living emblem of Nepal's indomitable spirit. Our master artisans, or Kami, are not mere metalsmiths—they are alchemists who transform humble iron into objects of breathtaking beauty. Watch as each blade is born in a bed of glowing charcoal, shaped through countless, powerful hammer strikes in a dance of fire and iron. You'll see firsthand the painstaking process of folding, beating, and sculpting that demands immense patience, giving the Khukuri its legendary strength. From a rough sheet of metal to a finished, polished blade, you'll discover why this journey is a true labor of love. Come feel the heat of the forge and see master artisans breathe life into raw steel—discover the soul of Nepal, one hammer strike at a time.
