Rajma & pulses
The dark red beans these slopes are known for, along with whatever else the season gave us. Slower to cook than what you buy in the city, and worth every extra minute.

The shop
The last shop before the mountains
The little shop at the front of the house has been serving this village long before anyone thought to call the place a homestay. Shepherds stop here, trekkers heading for Thamsar stop here, and so does everyone in Rajgundha who needs salt or a torch battery.
What is worth carrying home, though, is what the valley grows and makes itself — rajma off the slopes you can see from the window, and wool spun and woven the Pahari way for winters far colder than yours.
