Today Chadan – The guide was carrying traditional sweets and namkeen of Uttarakhand during the Neergarh Waterfall trek. Upon the query, he enhanced my knowledge.

He said that during marriage in villages traditional sweets and namkeen such as Matthi, Airse, and Ladoo are made for guests and together all three are known as Kalyo.

I tasted all – mouth-watering they were. Thank you – said I.
