All about the Khokana Old Village Tour

The Khokana Old Village Day Tour is a short trip to the peaceful yet culturally rich place in the Kathmandu Valley, situated just 8 km south of the bustling town of Kathmandu. Khokana is an old and tranquil Newari traditional village. It was once ruled by the Malla kings, which gives it historical significance and has turned the town into an open museum. One thing that will surely amaze you is that the residents of Khokana do not keep chickens in their houses; instead, they farm ducks and ducklings. You can see them roaming around the old streets of Khokana.

Khokana is also renowned for its mustard oil harvesting. The villagers employ traditional methods, which involve using a heavy wooden beam to crush mustard seeds and extract pure mustard oil. As you walk through the streets of Khokana Village, you will clearly observe the day-to-day lifestyle of the villagers. In January, they celebrate the Khokana Village Festival, which showcases their culture, traditions, and aspects of their village.
