On the day of your activity, you will be picked up from your hotel in Varanasi and taken to the home of a local family, where you will be welcomed warmly to commence an unforgettable experience with Indian traditions and cuisine.

Your cooking class will start with an introduction to the basics of traditional Indian food: exploring the popular ingredients and essential cooking techniques, along with the most traditional recipes from Varanasi and across India.

Finally, you will gather around the table to savor everything you've cooked! While enjoying the delicious dishes you've prepared, you'll also learn about the customs practiced by locals in Varanasi before they begin their meals. This will be a magical cultural experience that you will cherish forever!
