This year, we invite you to participate in this event at Khokana, Bungamati, Lalitpur in the southern outskirts of the valley. Things cannot get more local than this.
The memories of this day will stay on! Gauranteed.
Come participate in this event, play with some mud, get a bit wet, and mingle with the local’est of local traditions in the Kathmandu valley, planting rice. Accompany this with a newari feast of sorts, and this makes for an excellent day out.
Children are most welcome (and will enjoy the mud part the most!)
Includes:
* Pick up and drop
* Traditional Newari snacks and meal.
* Free-flow rice beer (of course children will get juice)
* Tons of fun
Note: You don’t have to pay anything to book your space, but we will contact you as soon as we receive your registration to confirm the booking.
