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...

The Leaving vs The Left Behind

I still remember, I was standing near the entrance looking out at the garden. I was at my best friend’s home and she had gone to get her ever famous chips chilly for me. I was to leave for Bangalore again, in a couple of days. While I waited, I looked out at the garden and this thought came into my head. “Who is it harder for? The one leaving or the ones left behind?” Is it going to be harder for me in a new place readjusting and exploring, or my best friend here, who will me miss me? Is it harder for a person to settle in a completely new place with a completely new lifestyle and have to find new people or for a person to see the same old places, the same old alleys and reminiscent the good times they had with their friend who are not around at the moment? It was a random thought that filled my mind a couple of minutes and then I got over it. Some time after resettling here in Bangalore, my best friend sent me a reel. The reel was about 2 close friends who used to lived ...

Most Asked Question

Coming back home after one year has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me the past month. Getting to see everyone again, embracing family and friends, working on an office desk again, walking through same old alleys and of course, devouring delicious food that I so dearly missed. I am actually almost through the food list that I have been saving. But the people have been asking me the same question a lot: do you like it here in Nepal or in Bangalore? And the answer has always been the same for me: I like it wherever I am. Kathmandu is home, it is warm, and it is where family is. Bangalore is a different vibe and freedom and excitement. Kathmandu is a different fun and Bangalore is different fun, which is why I live in the moment and enjoy where I am. My mother always tells me: “ La wani tha nya wani ma” in Nepal Bhasa meaning “ the fish must go where the water goes”. The meaning while very basic is also very deep. If the fish does not flow with the water, it cannot survive. I...
