Novelty Snacks of Nepal

Mountain snacks.

Novelty snacking has gotten a little out of control. In an effort to not go crazy trying to post them all, I’m limiting the snacking from now on. (Ok, not really the snacking… just the photo taking). A few snacks were edited down from this trip because either I wasn’t present to hear the results, or just plain don’t remember the details.

Here goes:
