  • Daily tours start at 9:30 AM and last a few hours or more, depending on your group size. Flexible scheduling is available upon request.

  • We will meet in Thamel outside the Garden of Dreams and then take a taxi on us, to our metal workshop for a day of forging and fun.

  • We are open to everyone, whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or just curious and supportive of diversity and inclusion. We are straight-friendly.

  • Secure your spot via our website or contact us directly on Instagram @queermandu_np or WhatsApp for any registration issues.

  • For an intimate and engaging experience, this is limited to 2 to 4 people, but it depends on the size of your group and will most likely be private. Due to the size of the space, 4 people is the largest we can accommodate.

  • Just your enthusiasm and readiness to engage. Water and snacks will be provided.

  • Our licensed LGBTQ+ community tour guide will lead the way in every part of the journey.

  • The event encourages open dialogue on any topic related to LGBTQ+ life in Nepal, as well as the history of the Gurhka knife and the gay legends of its warriors. No topics are off-limits, fostering an environment of inclusivity and understanding.

  • We will be taking certified local taxis. Dress appropriately for the weather, and do not wear sandals. Pants would be the safest. The area is shaded but can get quite hot in the summer. Water is provided, so please stay hydrated. For parts of the forging process that are complicated, the master artisan will do for you.

  • Don’t just buy a cheap Gurkha knife souvenir in a local shop, make one yourself! This is high quality, much more than what you can find in Thamel, and you’ll have the chance to put your initials on it.

On fire.
