Today is the 71st International Sagamatha Day. 71 years since Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary first stood on the summit of Mt Everest. Sagamatha is the Nepali name for Everest. 🏔️
Today I truly learned how important, treasured and loved Sagamatha is to the people of Nepal. I was honored to be a part of the celebrations. To be amongst the energy of the procession was very emotional for me. Sagamatha provides the livelihood for thousands of Nepali people. The mountain is the pride of Nepal, the nation’s treasure.
I was blessed to have been awarded a badge by the prime minister Honourable Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’. Many of my Nepali friends also won awards. Such a special day. 🥹💕🏔️
A huge thank you to Shiva Sapkota for inviting me.
