Experience Culinary Grandeur at the Mt. Everest International Gastronomy Event 2025

The world’s highest peak is about to host an extraordinary fusion of adventure and culinary artistry. The Mt. Everest International Gastronomy Event 2025, organized by the Gastronomy Tourism Association of Nepal, is set to elevate the essence of food tourism to unprecedented heights. This one-of-a-kind international food festival will unfold in May 2025 at the iconic Everest Base Camp, showcasing a spectacular blend of global gastronomy and Nepalese cultural heritage.

About the Event

The event aims to highlight the growing significance of gastronomic tourism by bringing together 80 master chefs and culinary professionals from 40 countries, each presenting their signature dishes amidst the grandeur of the Himalayas. This culinary celebration is a part of the Seven Summits Alpine Food Festivals, a series of global events that merge culinary creativity with adventure tourism.

A Platform for Cultural Exchange

Food transcends borders, and this event will embody that spirit by uniting chefs, food bloggers, hospitality entrepreneurs, and adventurers under one roof—or rather, the open sky of the Everest Base Camp. The festival will serve as a melting pot for diverse cultures, showcasing unique ingredients, cooking techniques, and traditions from around the globe.

Key participants include:

  • Chef Suresh Chandra Basnet
  • Chef Ram Thapa
  • Chef Arjun Bahadur Thapa (UK)
  • Chef Saroj Thapa (Saudi Arabia)
  • Chef Gyanendra Banjara Sharma (Canada)
  • Chef Sai Kumar Sharma (India)
