Mita Karmacharya
Before the homestay , the Karmacharya family relied on her husband ’ s Chinese product shop and Mita ’ s knitted products . The 2015 earthquake and China ’ s border closure hindered business , leading to their switch to a homestay in 2017 , boosting their income for their kids ’ university savings . The family ’ s children were elated to engage with individuals from around the globe , gaining exposure to diverse cultures and languages .
