It was so clear Himalaya view and beautiful sunrise this morning. Recently the weather is mostly clear and a little bit cold.

It is a short hiking to the top of Astam. We go hiking from Hananoie to there with guests. It is an interesting hiking course. We can see daily life style of mountain people and seasonal activities. We can go from Hananoie easily.

Astam is an Adhikari village. (Most of the people use Adhikari as the family name.) On the top there village of Adhikari, we can see panorama view and beautiful valleys of Hemja and Suikhet with stream and Kaski mountain. If the weather is clear, we can see Seti River and small part of Pokhara city and west Dhampus village and so many villages.

It is now harvesting season in Nepal. We could see farmers harvesting rice, millet, beans and pumpkins. After harvesting they start planting nexe seasonal crops. The villagers are keeping buffaloes and goats. They keep for dairy product and farming. Still we can see traditional farming. At this time we can see houses looking new. The villages repaired and maintained their house during festival. The great festival TIHAR is coming soon. Also at this time could see seasonal flowers every where .
