Supported to Mingma Sherpa health treatment.

After our Autumn 2022 season is over, we back to support to remote areas peoples in our village hill Solukhumbu district.

Before beginning new year 2023, we decided to new project is to improve the daily life of Mingma Sherpa, 38, mother of two little girls. Her husband is a farm worker. She has suffered from asthma for 6 years. Her situation has gotten much worse over the past 6 months. The crises are more and more frequent and strong. Due to a lack of resources, she was never able to carry out lab tests necessary for setting up treatment. The Kathmandu hospital is the very far place where these tests are possible. But Kathmandu is 3 hours walk and 2 days by jeep from Hill. And that’s of course without counting the medical expenses such as return trip to Kathmandu, medical consultations and tests, hospital and accommodation costs and consultations and follow-up tests–
Setting aside such an expense is absolutely not feasible for Mingma and her husband.

Admissions biggest city hospital and follow professional doctor, now, after 3 months later her health is 70% improvement than before. Even, we found she is very stronger and better after the full medical treatment from hospital.

Again, doctor appointed to follow up doctor end of May 2023, at that time we will be responsible support her medical expenses along with we are happy for additional help: cloths for her family needs such as Blanket, mattresses, baby clothes. Also, we have shown them some beautiful places in cities during the staying in Kathmandu.

We are climbing and trekking partner/guides in Nepal on other hand we do support remote in remote areas to change their life style.

Nepal banned solo trek in Himalaya region.

Nepal has made it Mandatory for all tourists who trek in the Himalayas region in Nepal to hire local assistance guide or porter form the registered trekking or expeditions company, the rules will come into effective from the beginning of April 1 2023.

“Every year, some 11 to 14 trekkers go missing, mostly FITs (Free Independent Trekkers), and this is serious,” president of the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal told The Kathmandu Post. Also, it will help to ensure a safe trekking experience while allowing to keep track of the trekkers and provide rescue services in case of any emergency situations. Therefore, on solo treks, tourists often get lost and might face insecurities. To mitigate that government of Nepal have come to the decision to ban solo treks.

Along with the new regulation will help promote Nepal as a safe destination for tourists at a time when international media are questioning the safety of foreigners in Nepal as well as would benefit both trekkers and the tourism industry as well as local people-guide and porters, whose livelihoods have been affected by the slowdown in the tourism caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Nepal several trekking routes are in the remote areas without roads and communication facilities, so in case of an emergency, it takes several hours to day to rescue trekking in these areas due to the challenging terrain and lack of infrastructure. Previously, tourist were allowed to trek solo without local assistance guide or porter. However, this roles ban does not apply to the popular Everest region.
