Climber Maya Gurung along with the climbing team reached Sindhupalchok and Dhupu, the northern part of Rasuwa on Monday. In her team, there are 26 women who have been trafficked, orphaned and dropped out of school due to poverty. "With me, 27 women are climbing Ganja-La Chuli, which is under the Langtang ice range. In the next 2 weeks, we will be towards the mountains," Gurung told Kantipur via WhatsApp.

To the south of Kanjin Monastery in Rasuwa is the snow peak, Ganja-La. Anyone who goes on the Langtang trek will be mesmerized by the sight of this 5,844 meter high mountain. A team of 70 people, including Bhanse, Sherpa, Sardar, Bhariya, went to that place from Kathmandu via Melamchi on Saturday to help 27 people climb Ganja-La Chuli.

'We have started this campaign to bring socially disadvantaged women into the tourism sector,' Gurung, the coordinator of the campaign, said, 'For 2 years, they were trained in hiking guides, leadership development, computers, languages, etc. at Sindhupalchowk. Now I have taken it to the field.'

climbing will cost around 1 crore. For this, donations have been collected from various individuals and social organizations working for women. The Ganja-La Himal climbing fee is collected by the Nepal Mountaineering Association. Nepalese have to pay 4000 rupees to climb this mountain during the spring season. Now, during Barkhayam, the team is going to climb by paying Rs 1,000 to the association.

'These sisters will be self-reliant after climbing the mountain,' said Gurung, who climbed Mount Everest 16 years ago Acharya, Anisha Shrestha, Deepa Lamichhane, Pratima Sapkota, Ranjita Lama, Srishti Tamang, Poonam Lama, Naman Tamang, Varsha Vick, Ravita Thapa, Sangeeta Vick, Saraswati Tamang, Sangeeta Tamang, Shanti Thing, Nima Yadchen, Kamala Sigdel, Kriti Lama, Manmaya Tamang, Ravina Khadka, Sadhana Banjara, Pampha Gurung, Gauri Malakar, Alisha Majhi, Sakina Majhi, Navina Majhi and Ramadevi Neupane. Some of the women from the climbing expedition are studying at the graduate level.

'This time we are planning to climb this mountain from Southern Mohada,' said Gurung, who has also climbed 7 highest mountains of seven continents, 'If we succeed, we will be the first team to climb this mountain through a new route.' She had taken him to the base camp of the mountain. Its purpose was to bring women out of the house and join the tourism sector.

26 people selected this time are from the same group. Officials of Nepal Mountaineering Association organized a farewell ceremony in the capital and wished them well on Friday.
