Today (Saturday, February 28, 2026) , Himalayan Dairy  set up its cheese stall for the second time at the weekly market. The atmosphere, however, felt a little different. With national elections approaching, many people had already left for their villages and constituencies to cast their votes. The market was noticeably quieter than usual, yet the sense of anticipation and hope was strong. Amid this election mood, we organized our second cheese stall at Courtyard Nadipur  in

Am Samstag, dem 28. Februar 2026, hat Himalayan Dairy zum zweiten Mal seinen Käse-Stand auf dem Wochenmarkt aufgebaut. Die Stimmung war diesmal etwas anders. Wegen der bevorstehenden nationalen Wahlen sind viele Menschen bereits in ihre Dörfer und Wahlkreise gereist, um ihre Stimme abzugeben. Der Markt war daher ruhiger als sonst, doch Hoffnung und Vorfreude waren deutlich spürbar. Trotz der Wahlatmosphäre haben wir unseren Käse-Stand im Courtyard Nadipur in Pokhara organisi

Himalayan Dairy ist ein echtes Gemeinschaftsprojekt. Unser Ziel ist es, die Milch unserer lokalen Bauern direkt vor ihren Augen zu hochwertigem Käse zu verarbeiten, ihn gemeinsam zu vermarkten und den Bauern einen besseren Preis zu zahlen als andere Milchsammler.

Seit rund 15 Tagen hatten wir uns mit großer Sorgfalt und Begeisterung auf diesen Moment vorbereitet. Von der Reifung und Verpackung der Käse bis hin zur Gestaltung unseres Standes u

Yesterday was a special and memorable day for Himalayan Dairy . We proudly set up our cheese stall at the Saturday Market held at the Courtyard in Nadipur, Pokhara. This marked the very first time that cheeses produced by Himalayan Dairy were introduced to the public market. For nearly 15 days, our team had been carefully preparing for this moment. From production to presentation, every detail was thoughtfully arranged to ensure we could showcase the best of what we have crea

While waiting for the maturation fridge to arrive for our dairy in Ghachok, we decided not to wait idly. Instead, the Himalayan Dairy Group set out on a walk—both a journey through the mountains and a moment to pause, reflect, and plan. Our destination was Khumai Dada , a beautiful ridge at 3,245 metres, known for its wide views, sunsets, and quiet mornings. The walk takes around six hours , starting from Ghachok (1,200–1,275 m) —the village where our dairy is being built. T

At Himalayan Dairy, our cheesemaking journey is guided by a simple idea: to create cheese that truly belongs to Nepal. By combining fresh local milk with Nepali spices, herbs, and traditional practices, we are developing dairy products that reflect local taste, culture, and sustainability. Our focus is not only on flavour but also on eco-friendly production and community-centred values. Himalayan Masala Fresh Cheese  is inspired by everyday Nepali kitchens, where spices are c

We are happy to share an important milestone in our journey— Himalayan Dairy has officially started cheese production . This initiative has been made possible through the direct support and generosity of people from Germany, whose belief in community-based dairy development helped turn an idea into reality. The project and dairy were initiated under the guidance of Gerhard “Gecko” Hochgräber , an internationally recognized cheesemaker and gold medalist, who also serves as the
