Be it Solu or Khumbu or we take all "Solukhumbu" there exists another god, enlightenment and respect - that is "Sir Edmund Hilary".............
You are right mati, he has done so many things for us. We have lost a man who loved Nepal more than we do. I took the following portrait in one of the hotel in Lukla. He was not only the real hero of Khubu region but Nepal and the God Father too.




I have been to Kunde Hospital established by Sir Edmund Hillary in 1966 AD [Read More]. I was impressed by Dr. Kami and his team serving one of the remote areas of our country, an accomplishment of its kind, more than atop in the Mt. Everest.
