🧵 Opportunity in Handicrafts: “From Harvest to Heritage”

‘Where Leftovers Become Legacy, and Events Become Enterprise’


In Nepal, the end of harvest is not the end of the story—it’s the beginning of creation. At Himalayan Family House, we see every leftover stalk, husk, and thread as a seed of opportunity. From the sacred rhythms of NawaDurga RathaYatra to the bustling markets of village festivals, handicrafts emerge as windows into a regenerative economy.

This is not just craft—it is culture in motion, enterprise in layers, and revival in every hand.
