About this tour
Spend six hours cooking alongside a Banari family, learning recipes that shift with the seasons. You'll walk through village gardens to harvest ingredients, then prepare and eat traditional dishes together. This isn't a choreographed class—what you cook depends entirely on what's ready that day, so each session feels genuine and connected to local rhythms rather than a scripted menu.
Highlights
- Harvest vegetables directly from family gardens
- Learn seasonal dishes that change throughout the year
- Cook and eat lunch with your host family
- Meet villagers during walks around Banari
- No fixed menu—recipes depend on daily availability
- Small group setting with genuine local instruction
What to expect
Arrive ready to walk. Your host family will take you through village gardens and fields to gather the day's ingredients—what grows now determines what you'll cook. Back in the kitchen, they'll guide you through preparation and cooking techniques specific to whatever dishes are on the day's agenda. You'll prepare lunch together, then sit down to eat your creations. Expect a working morning, not a polished demonstration. There's genuine downtime and conversation with your hosts and other villagers you'll encounter during village walks.
Good to know
Seasonal availability means no two experiences are identical—bring flexibility. Wear comfortable walking shoes; the village strolls aren't strenuous but uneven. Not suitable for those with mobility issues. Prams and infant seats available. Arrange your own transport to the location.
