Farmers Busy Harvesting Rice Along Daraundi River After Dashain Festival

Gorkha. After the end of Bada Dashain, farmers in the fields along the Daraundi River in Gorkha are busy harvesting rice. Farmers are seen busy harvesting, drying, and bringing the crops home from the fields where the rice has ripened and turned yellow.

The fields around the Daraundi River, with their flat terrain and good irrigation system, are considered suitable for rice cultivation. Farmers in this area cultivate two crops of rice annually, Chaitre and Asare. Due to the irrigation facility, the dependence is less on the monsoon season.
