We were here on a workaway to visit the village of Saping. Uttam was our guide in every sense. We stayed at his guesthouse Innate Pension then made the trip to Saping by bus and on foot, a real challenge but an incredible experience! We met and were looked after by his family during Tihar Festival where we witnessed the brother sister offerings. We met the farm animals and ate a delicious pumpkin curry and later veg pasta with yaks cheese. We walked through the rice fields to a local home shop and bought biscuits to share. The village is a culture shock but I was really surprised at how well myself and my 8 year old adapted. Back at the Guesthouse Uttam’s nephew’s were great fun. We talked politics, played cards, listened to music, drank mint tea. We are so grateful to Uttam for this experience and will treasure the memories forever.
