Staying in a Thimi family home can be an enriching
experience. You may be lucky enough to share the lives of an extended
family. If you are fortunate to be in Thimi during a festival or
celebration such as Dashain or Tihar in October/November or Bisket Jatra
in April, you may be invited to participate with the family, see the sky
filled with paper kites as the locals do battle in the skies, watch the
children play on huge bamboo swings erected for the festival, and hear
traditional drums. That can be a lot of fun, and something you may not
be able to do if you only stayed in a hotel or guest house. You may be
invited into a student’s or teacher’s home for a cup of tea as you walk
past their house; such is the friendliness of the Thimi community.
Staying in home stay will let you view the neighborhood activities from
the roof tops. You might see colorful washing blowing in the breeze,
people making pots in the streets, or smoking mounds of pots being
fired, or women fanning the grain as they thresh in the traditional
manner, or grandparents caring for little ones as their parents go about
their daily chores. You will hear the rhythmic sound of looms clicking,
from early morning until darkness.
