Ron poles to pave the way in the snow

Taplejung – For safe travel, you have to walk along the footpath to the lake. Roads in the Lekali region above 3,000 meters are completely covered with snow from November to April. At such times, the local shepherds are distracted by the goreto, and those who go on the Kanchenjunga climb suffer even more.

The footpath starting from faktalung Village Municipality-6 lele to Kanchenjunga base camp is covered with snow. Even those who have walked many times need to know where goreto is when it is covered with snow. Road signs are needed at this time. Those who get confused while walking spend two days on the road crossing in one day

Residents of olangchungola, Yangma, Phale, Ghunsa, khambachen, Papung and yamphudin continue to face this problem. nupu Sherpa of olangchungola said, “To get rid of this, we first scratched the bark in the middle of the tree and then made a sign. Then we lifted the stone hard. Now we are burying iron poles in the snow.”
