Let's enjoy together
🌄☃️THANKCHEN: The Thak Khola Winter Feast
From Kagbeni to Ghasa — The Living Table of the Thakali Regions🗻☃️☃️
🎅This Christmas Day, Utpala Café invites you to a different kind of winter gathering🎄🎄
Not a party.
Not a festive gimmick.
But a slow Himalayan winter table.
Thankchen is a pure vegetarian, research-led Thak Khola–inspired buffet, tracing how people cooked and ate along the trade corridor — when winter demanded restraint, warmth, and clarity.
🌾 Grain-led, lentil-led, vegetable-led
🔥 Live Thakali tawa & hearth cooking
🌱 Clearly marked vegan section
🍞 Barley, buckwheat & millet breads
🍎 Jaggery & apple–based winter desserts
No imitation meat.
No heavy gravies.
No excess.
Only food that:
• Warms the body
• Calms the mind
• Honors Nepali food heritage
📍 Venue: Utpala Café
📅 Date: 25 December (Christmas Day)
