20 Hobbies to Try in Nepal (No Cap)

20 Actually Doable Hobbies to Try in Nepal (When Life Gets a Bit Too Repetitive)

Let’s face it — we’re all bored sometimes. Here's a no-nonsense list of hobbies you can genuinely try in Nepal. No need to be rich, famous, or extremely talented — just curious.

1. Cooking

Cooking Nepali food

Start with the basics — like not burning rice. Try new dishes, mess up, try again. Eventually, you'll end up feeding people without giving them food poisoning. Progress.

2. Cycling

Cycling in Nepal

Explore your area on wheels. Great for fitness and for escaping small talk with neighbors. Just don’t forget brakes and water.

3. Journaling

Journal

Write about your day, your thoughts, or just doodle nonsense. It’s your chaos, on paper. No one has to see it. Ever.

4. Photography

Photographer in Nepal

Anything can be art if you take a picture of it and tilt the camera slightly. Start capturing moments — not everything has to be a masterpiece.

5. Gardening

Gardening

You put seeds in dirt. You water it. Sometimes it grows, sometimes it doesn’t. Either way, you become emotionally attached to a plant. Totally normal.

6. Playing an Instrument

The first sound will scare your pet. But keep at it — one day, it might sound like music. Or at least like rhythm.

7. Yoga / Stretching

Yoga in Kathmandu

No incense or Sanskrit chants required. Just stretch your stiff body and breathe like you’re not stressed about everything.

8. Learning a Language

Language learning

Unlock Netflix subtitles. Confuse your friends. Impress your relatives. Just don’t start speaking in broken Japanese to shopkeepers.

9. Writing Stories or Blogs

Blog writing

Write your opinions, stories, or spicy hot takes. It clears your mind and annoys fewer people than a group chat rant.

10. Drawing

Drawing

Draw badly until it’s less bad. It’s cheaper than therapy and way more satisfying than you’d expect.

11. Dancing

Dancing in Nepal

Shut the door. Play music. Move. Repeat. That’s literally it. 10/10 mood booster.

12. Reading

Reading books

Books are just long scrolls that don’t kill your battery. Fiction, comics, memes in print — all valid reading material.

13. Podcasts

Podcast mic

Too lazy to read? No problem. Podcasts let you listen and learn while pretending to be productive. Multitasking at its finest.

14. Video Editing

Editing videos

Make cool reels or vlogs, or turn birthday videos into action trailers. You’ll gain editing skills and lose all sense of time.

15. Knitting

Knitting hobby

Peaceful. Productive. Slightly addictive. And nothing beats the brag of “Yeah, I made this scarf.”

16. Calligraphy

Calligraphy styles

Write like someone from the 1800s. Makes grocery lists look fancy. Warning: you will get addicted to pens.

17. Magic Tricks

Card trick

Learn a card trick. Fool your siblings. Confuse your parents. It’s fun being mysterious for once.

18. Playing Board Games

Board games

Gather people. Start friendly. End in chaos. If the game didn’t cause drama, did you even play it right?

19. DIY Crafts

DIY crafts

Turn old stuff into “new stuff.” It might look weird. It might go viral. Either way, you’ll feel creative.

20. Stand-Up or Comedy Writing

Stand-up comedy

Write jokes. Say them out loud. If people laugh, great. If they don’t, write better ones. That’s literally how it works.
