Khapse (खप्से) – Premium Handmade Tibetan Biscuits

The Crispy, Golden Biscuit of the Himalayas

Kharse (also known as Khapse or Kapse) is a beloved traditional fried biscuit with deep roots in Tibetan and Himalayan culture. Light, crispy, and delicately golden, these handmade biscuits are a staple of festive celebrations — particularly during Losar (Tibetan New Year) and other auspicious occasions across Nepal, Tibet, and the Himalayan communities of the UK.
