kanchanjunga-peak

The Kanchenjunga trekking region arguably offers some of the grandest mountain vistas of the Himalaya. The main approach along the eastern side of the Himal (range) to the northern base camp takes us among an avenue of peaks that frequently appear in adventure catalogues and brochures. Exotic name such as Wedge peak, Pyramid Peak, Janu Himal, White Wave, the Twins and, of course, Kanchenjunga provide the inspiration to make the challenging trek to base camp. Our approach takes us up through terraced hillsides of the remoter ethnic group of Rai and Limbu and then among well preserved forest of rhododendron, birch oak and spruce. The return journey will follow a high yak herder’s route over the snowy pass of the Mirgin La in to the remote valley of Simbuwa Khola. The Kanchenjunga region is restricted to organized expedition group only and therefore sees few if any trekking parties.

18 leopards dead in a year

18 leopards dead in a year

KASKI, AUG 21 – In a recent tally, at least 18 leopards have been found dead in the jungles of Pokhara since the past year. The toll apparently increased since many of the injured and sick leopards could not get timely treatment. According to the District Forest Office in Kaski, the death toll is rising at an alarming rate since the district does not have a veterinary specialising on the treatment of wild animals.

leopard

“Most of these leopards were found dead at separate locations in the district,” assistant DFO Madhav Prasad Baral said, “those found injured or in a sick state died for want of treatment.” The DFO said that the 18 leopards were found dead between August 2013 and August 2014. The injured or sickly leopards are often found straying out of forests and entering human settlements in search of easy prey. Few months ago, around half a dozen leopards were found dead in the district within a week. Authorities suspected that they might have died of consuming poison.

According to the existing laws, a person found to have poached wildlife will be sentenced to two years in jail and fined Rs 10,000.

Forest officials in the district admitted that incidents of wild animals being killed by traps or by feeding them carcasses of domestic animals treated with medicines are increasing of late.

In doing so, he has also put his name on record books as the first ultra marathon runner to climb all these mountains. Pandit is said to be currently in the process of registering his triumph in the record books. Pandit has thanked all those who supported his endeavour including Nepal government, Ministry of Sport, Nepal Sports Council and Nepal Mountaineer Association among others.

However, he has said that he was proud to have done so. “I feel proud to let the world know of Nepal and Nepali’s bravery though the medium of sport”, Pandit said.
