Samde Sherpa vividly remembers walking along the Annapurna Circuit as a 15-year-old. And ironically, he didn’t like it very much. The year was 2004 and he was accompanying his uncle who was acting as a trekking guide to a French team. “It was too much walking for me back then,” he recalls. However, after he returned home from the trip, he felt this sense of peace and calm like never before. And so, he decided he would go back to the hills and mountains as an adult.

LAMJUNG, Oct 1: After 19 days of obstruction following numerous landslides along the Marsyangdi River, vehicular movement has finally resumed in Lamjung-Manang road section, which is the only route to reach the mountainous district of Manang.
