"The person in the picture lives in high mountains. In picture, he is cooking dinner named 'Phapar ko dhido' (thick porridge made with buckwheat flour) which is highly nutritious and popular dish in high himalayas. He was my host for few days while I was there in Pisang, Manang in 2017. Picture shows the way of life of a person in high region of Nepal and I was impressed by the unique way of making this dish. So, I took this picture."
