In Nepal, going into the fields to plant to some rice and have some fun in the mud is an important way to appreciate food and respect it. Every June the Rice Planting Festival, called Ropain locally, is a fun day full of activities. Every year, Sabah Nepal organizes the event at Bungamati, in the outskirts of Kathmandu, in a day fun filled with mud, activities, and great food. A day to remember!
