In the beginning of the new year, it was cloudy and snowed on the Himalaya. Here is getting cold day by day. We had many guests during the greeting season.

In this season, we normally make “doko”, a Nepalese basket. We can see people making doko in countryside of Nepal. It is made from small bamboo called Negalo in Nepali. It is very useful and it is also tradition of Nepal. It takes few days for making.

Generally we also make doko by ourselves. Our staff, Khem raj Adhikari, is good at making doko. We use basket carrying grass for cattles and carrying compost for fertilizer in the field. Also people are carrying drinking water in a pot specially country side of Nepal. You may see making of doko when you visit in Hananoie during the new year season.
