Nepali Souvenir Ideas You’ll Love – From Handmade Crafts to Nepali Sweets and Gundpak Cookies

Nepal is a land of rich traditions, timeless flavors, and soulful desserts. One such delicacy that has been cherished for centuries is Gundpak—a soft, sweet fudge made with traditional ingredients that carry both taste and wellness in every bite. Today, Makkusé brings this treasured sweet to the modern world in a delightful new form: Nepali Gundpak Cookies. These Gundapak Cookies offer a mouthwatering combination of rich heritage and contemporary crunch, making them an unforgettable dessert for every occasion.

What is Gundpak? A Taste of Nepal’s Sweet Heritage

Gundpak is a classic Nepali traditional sweet made with khuwa (milk solids), ghee, gondh (edible gum), nuts, spices, and sometimes ayurvedic herbs. It’s not just dessert—it’s nourishment. Traditionally made in Nepalese homes, especially in winter, Gundpak is known for its warming properties, rich texture, and nutritional value.

Makkusé, a premium name in traditional Nepali delicacies, has reimagined this age-old dessert in a completely new avatar—Gundpak Cookies. These Nepali Gundpak Cookies are a beautiful fusion of the soft, decadent flavor of Gundpak and the crispness of a perfectly baked cookie.
