Experience Newly Opened Trail in Remote West Nepal Himalaya

Guerrilla Trek Guide Book Cover Page
Some tourism enthusiast from western Nepal particularly from Rukum and Rolpa district have come with idea to bring tourists to their villages once the heartland of Maoist Rebels who fought against parliamentary and king's rule (1996-2007).  The trail was explored in coordination with former Guerrilla leader and tourism experts including a travel writer which have helped visitors with well written guide book, itinerary and general information for the visitors. 

Guerrilla's in Those Days
The newly published guide book 'GUERRILLA TREK, aka THE SHANGRI-LA TREK) give excerpt as – The Guerrilla Trek offers a remarkable journey through the heartland of post-conflict territory.  The route takes you through Myagdi, Rukum and Rolpa spectacular districts with low population density at the epicenter of Nepal's ten year conflict and homeland to many revolutionaries.
The land is blessed with wide-ranging natural resources and biodiversity exemplified by its wildlife (60% of Dhorpatan Reserve), captivating waterfalls, rivers,  caves, and delightful lakes as well as the towering sublime Himalaya….

I had been to this trek while I was working as support staff in one of the big groups long time ago when the Maoist Insurgency was not even started (in 1995).  In 2010 I had trekked in Dolpo with a friend of mine in which we employed some previous Maoist Rebels.  I would be more than happy to provide support service to this newly introduced trekking trail of which the detail will be provided up on request.

These days one don’t need to be a brilliant leader or educationist to explain the importance of education, it’s generally understood by every citizen of 20 th or 21 st century, but this is not the same case in the remote villages of Nepal like ours.   Most of the village kids of my village (Lumsa, in Solukhumbu) used to go to school but they would end up their study by early secondary level or at around crossing the primary level.  When I used to g...

Give me ideas to make the blog better Thanks In 1992, I don’t remember the month but it was shortly after I was admitted to Nepal Law Campus, Kathmandu my mom had sent me a letter saying she managed to send Rupees 2,000 [$30] which she borrowed from a relative and this was for my education expenses. She had to give her an ornament ( dhungri-Nep.) as a collator for that borrowing. This message made me more worried for my education and expenses in Kathmandu where I didn’t have senior family members or friends who could support in how to keep up my education. I was afraid to use all the money sent by her so I used about half of it and rest sent back home. From that moment, I started t...

In Sanskrit it is also known as Caitya.   Nepal being the birth place of Lord Buddha and bearing the unbroken Buddhist Tradition than any other countries posses several Buddhist heritages.  Among them the Stupa represents as the most important emblem for Buddhists.  Every nook and corner of the historic section of Kathmandu valley (Kathmandu city itself, Patan, Bhaktapur, Kritipur and other ancient towns) is filled by interestingly decorated miniature stupas alongside the Hindu shrines and temples.  Legendry Stupa of Soyambhu and equally historic Bouddha (Bodhnath) Stupas are considered to be holiest pilgrimage sites for Buddhist dev...
