The weather is almost clear. we could see white Himalayan view in the morning, a lovely valley below with River Mardi Khola and many villages. Recently it is cloudy in day time. From here we could see green wheat, mustard and other seasonal vegetable fields. People look busy.
We used our homemade onion, butter, honey to make onion muffins. The onion flavour and sweetness make us forget to stop eating them. We are proud to serve these muffin to our guests.
It takes 15 minutes on foot to reach the school on the top of Astam from Hananoie. Around 9 AM, we can see many students walking to the school. These bushful students always say greeting “Namaste” to us.
February is the season of mustard flowers. The mustard fields around Hananoie are becoming brilliant yellow and make the scenery of the Himalaya much more beautiful. Today I strolled around Hananoie. Let me tell you about this.
