Last week we celebrated fathers day here in Nepal - yes it is held a little earlier than in NZ. We were fortunate to be invited to our friends home, to partake in celebrations with the family. Fathers day in Nepal is really a chance for the whole family to get together, in particular siblings with their parents. This means that sons and daughters make a special trip home. It is fairly common for sons to live at home in an extended family situation, so it is mostly daughters travelling home.
Fathers day is celebrated much the same as Dasaai and Tihar (brothers and sisters day), with fathers receiving a tikka from their daughters. They also offer food, with hard boiled egg, and dried fried fish on offer at our friends house. We really enjoyed being able to see fathers day in Nepal as we missed it last year.
