Karna Tamang is back safe and sound in Kathmandu after his successful Everest summit for Then Universal Peace Project fund raising expedition.
The funds raised from this climb will go toward promoting peaceful interactions within the Nepalese government, which has seen a decade long political upheaval that has affected all of Nepal.
I will be posting Karna's summit pictures later today!
We are preparing for our trek to Tapting beginning June 30th. We will be bringing supplies, books and funds we have raised which will be used to finish our library project there! I will be heading out to Kathmandu on June 29th.
Just as a quick note- I was emailing with Amber about keeping electronic devices charged etc. on our trek. There is no electricity in Tapting!
On the major trekking routes from Lukla to Everest Base Camp there is electricity, internet, cold drinks....all the comforts. Yet only a short distance away( by Himalayan standards) none of these exist.
We are making plans to help the Tamang peoples who are no living in caves near the Langtang Park area. Amber is waiting to hear from a contact of his, how our funds and support can best be used.
Check in later and new pictures will be posted1
