The long journey to a new place is tiring and when that new
place turns out to be a piece of heaven, and then the price of tiring effort is
paid off. Ghale Gaon, Lamjung district is well fitted in this case. A beautiful
village lies on the lap of Mount Lamjung,
Mount Harka Gurung and Mount Himalchuli. Lamjung is the birth place of Late Dr
Harka Gurung so the mountain name is changed to his name to pay tribute to him.
He was a scholar, geographer, politician, sportsman and artist. Far across is
the place where he chased his father to Kathmandu, bare foot in order to study
in Kathmandu as explained in ‘ Bisaya
Bibid’ his book.
The mountains are so close to village and it feels like the
mountains are gazing us. Local people say that the Himalaya has become black
from last few years otherwise the Himalayas used to be white with snow all year
round. May be this is the sign of global warming.
