Snack Bars: Your Ultimate Hiking Companion

If you’ve ever tried a snack bar or a granola bar or a protein bar of any kind, you know they’re handy, fulfilling and delicious. Well, good news, now you can get snacks bars made with natural sugar and right here in Nepal.

They’re great here when you’re running late or have a tight schedule. Just grab one on the go and munch on them and go about your schedule. They’re great when you’re cramming for your exams and need to pull an all-nighter. They’re great when you’re travelling and they’re great when you’re so hungry you could eat just about anything. Long story short; you can have them any time. Let’s be honest here; do we really need an excuse to have a snack bar? I know I don’t.

I noticed while I love me some granola bars and protein bars, there are very less options in the market for that and all of them are imported. Recently, I happened to come across an ad on Instagram. It read Made in Nepal Snack Bars. I could not be more excited. Having gone through their page, I saw that they’re made at home, as if Snack Bars are not healthy enough already, organic and handmade. Snack On comes in 3 varieties: Coco Berry Therapy which had dark chocolate, Trekkers’ Paradise and Peanut Berry Therapy. They sounded heavenly. I couldn’t help but place an order; especially since my cousins and I were planning on a short hike the very next weekend. This would be perfect!

If anything, the Snack on Bars made our hiking experience even better. Packed with richness and goodness and natural sugar, it doesn’t compromise on taste, either. I had ordered the Coco Berry Therapy for all of us. Chunks of dark chocolate on the bars made each bite even more scrumptious. We were energized for the long walk ahead.

The next time you plan a hiking trip with your family or friends, make sure you order one of these. You won’t need to carry much food. And it will elevate the whole hiking experience.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Everyday Phases by my Mother part 2

I have been meaning to write this part 2, especially after Every Day Phrases by my Mother , the first part was liked by so many and also because, well, the phrases and the dialogues never end with my mother. I did tease her about writing a book or making a scrapbook about all her phrases, but we never got around to it. So here we are, after almost 4 years, apologies if the Nepal bhasa wordings are incorrect somewhere Ne tha ne masau Bhwauthau pwa This is basically saying, not being able to take advantage of the situation or not doing what you are supposed to do at the event. If you get invited somewhere that has food, you should eat there. Neu twanyu tha yu yethe, jui chwanyu kata pinyu yethe I have heard this one many times. In the society that we live in, impression and your social image matters a lot, especially when it comes to family prestige. So it does not matter what you do at home but once you step outside, there is this social obligation of dressing appropriately, behav...

The Oldest Kumari

Dhana Kumari Bajracharya resides amidst the hustle and bustle in Gabahal, Patan. She is a 70 year old woman, who you would think is much younger at age, if you look at her. Age seems to have done justice to this beautiful woman. What makes this wise old woman different than other wise old women in Patan? She is the oldest Kumari of Patan. Kumari, the living goddess is a tradition or a practice that has been around for many years and that has been celebrated widely in the Kathmandu Valley. The very first Kumari goes back to 17 th Century. The process to choose the Kumari is divine and a girl must go through several tests to get chosen as the Kumari. Dhana Kumari Bajracharya is the longest serving Kumari of Patan having been established as the Kumari from 2010 B.S to 2042 B.S. A whooping 32 years. Perhaps her case is the most rare that we might come across. A girl serves as a Kumari until she reaches puberty, or she has her first menstruation. After that, it is believed that th...
