Yarsa Patans in Dolpa have been opened from today. Yarsa Patan in She-Foksundo National Park area and Division Forest area has been opened for collection of valuable herb Yarchagumba from today.
An all-party meeting held at the headquarters Dunai on May 21 decided to open the Yarsa monastery for collection from May 5.
With the opening of Yarsa Patan, thousands of people have reached Patan. Narendra Aryal, the chief conservation officer of She-Foksundo National Park, informed that the entire Yarchapatan, including Bhokpa, Bhanka, Sagbari, Jagdulla, which are in the park area, are open from today.
Aryal said that 1,700 people entered from Suligard alone as Yarsa collection permits are being distributed from Tripurakot, Kaigau, Sumdo, Dho, Suligard and other places in the park. He said that the information about how many people entered from other places will arrive by evening.
The price of Pratigot Yarchagumba in Nepali market ranges from 500 to 1000. The price of Yarchagumba is determined according to its thickness and color. People from the neighboring districts of Rukum, Jajarkot, Salyan and other districts have also reached Dolpa high Himalayan Patan for Yarchagumba collection.
After reaching Patan to collect yarchagumba, which is the main source of income of Dolpali, now most of the villages in the district are deserted. The Rychasankas say that to find Yarchagumba in Yarsa Patan, you have to search on your knees and if you find it, it is compared to luck.
Dolpalis lock their houses and go to Yarsa Patan with milk and children from school. The Yarsa season has also affected government schools. The regular attendance of students in schools has also decreased as the students left their studies and went to Yarsa Patan, said Balkrishna Dangi, principal of Adarsh Secondary School Jufal.
Yarchagumba is the source of income of Dolpavasi throughout the year. Collecting Yarchagumba is considered to be very selective as Yarchagumba is found in mountains above 3000 above sea level. During the month-long yarsa collection period in Dolpa, some people die due to exposure to water, falling from the water and cold.
In order to maintain peace and security in Yarchapatan, the Nepal Army has been mobilized in the Park area and the Armed Police and Nepal Police have also been mobilized in other forest area Patans.
