Nepal's population is predominantly composed of farmers. The Ropain festival, celebrating the planting of rice seedlings, brings people together for joyful activities in the fields, including planting and playing in the mud.

Ropain creates a lively atmosphere that unites families and the community in fieldwork, allowing for a blend of productive work and playful moments. Amid the activities, there's time for traditional food to recharge.

This festival provides an excellent opportunity to learn rice planting while making lasting memories with the local people. In Kirtipur, a charming Newari town near Kathmandu, you'll discover traditional architecture, cultural sites, and the chance to learn the ancient Newari script, "Ranjana Lipi." Don't forget to enjoy a traditional Newari meal, "Samay Baji," for a complete experience.
