Dashain is Nepal’s biggest festival, known for bringing
families together and celebrating cultural traditions. It’s not just a
religious event, but an important social occasion where people reconnect with
their loved ones. One of the most noticeable parts of Dashain is how many
people who work or study in Kathmandu travel back to their hometowns. As the
festival approaches, they feel a strong urge to return to their roots and be
with family, showing just how meaningful Dashain is for Nepalese people, both emotionally
and culturally.
The journey home for Dashain is filled with excitement, even
though it can be difficult with long distances and crowded transportation.
People often bring gifts, money, and food to share with their families. Many
also receive bonuses at work, which helps make the celebrations even more
special.
This yearly tradition reminds us that no matter how far we
go, there’s no place like home, especially during Dashain. It’s a time to
celebrate family, culture, and the feeling of belonging.
