Kyanjin Cheese Factory
क्याङजिन चिज कारखाना
A yak cheese workshop set up with Swiss aid in 1955, a distinctive small stop in Kyanjin Gompa village where you can buy cheese to take on the trek.
The Kyanjin Cheese Factory was established in the 1950s with Swiss aid. It is one of Nepal’s earliest cheese workshops, producing hard cheese from the milk of yaks and dzo (yak-cow hybrids) grazed in the high pastures. The workshop is on the edge of Kyanjin Gompa village. It is very small, and visitors can look around and buy cheese by the block. The village bakery also uses the cheese for pizza and sandwiches. Production is low in winter, and it may be closed at certain times.
