Serthi Buckwheat Harvest Farmstay

"Serthi gewog in Pemagatshel cultivates both sweet and bitter buckwheat varieties in terraced plots, the staple crops forming the backbone of the district's traditional cuisine. The farmstay places guests with a local family during harvest season, joining manual cutting, bundling, and winnowing of buckwheat on stone threshing floors. The day concludes with the family preparing phaksha paa — pork slow-cooked with dried buckwheat — over an outdoor hearth, sharing a meal by lamplight in a farmhouse unchanged for generations."
