Rice Harvest in Bhaktapur, one of the oldest cities in Nepal.

By hand the rice has been planted, grown, ripened, cut, gathered,beaten and winnowed as a community or extended family activity from fields nearby. Here we see the grain being turned over to dry in the hot autumn sun. Then it will be stored in hessian sacks for next years food supply. Nepalese people eat rice at least twice a day usually with lentils and vegetables.
