The white Himalayas in the background. A carpet-like green field at the foot. Some young people enjoying cricket there.
This short video clip was shared by Prime Minister Balendra Shah on Saturday afternoon on Facebook and wrote - Api Himal Base Camp, Darchula.
As soon as he wrote something, views, likes and shares started pouring in. The same thing was seen in this one. The positive thing is that many have suggested that an international cricket stadium should be built here.
Is it possible to build a stadium at such a high place?
The height of Api Himal is 7,132 meters. The height of the base camp shown by Prime Minister Shah in the video is about 4,250 meters.
A stadium has been built at a higher altitude in the world. That is Daniel Alcisdes Carrion. This football stadium, located at an altitude of 4,338 meters, is in Peru.
The mountains of the Far West are also included in the Balendra government's 1000 agenda for governance reforms. It has been mentioned that a study will be conducted for systematic tourism in those places and an implementable blueprint will be presented within a month.
The trekking routes of Ramaroshan in Achham, Badimalika in Bajura and Api Himal in Darchula are on the government's top priority.
The combination of waterfalls, lakes and rivers on the way to Api and Saipal base camps, the colorful flower-covered plateaus and the geographical and biological diversity makes this region a new experience not only for climbers but also for hikers and those interested in the environment. To realize this potential, the Nepal Tourism Board's sustainable tourism project is working to develop the Api-Saipal trekking route in coordination with Api Himal in Darchula and Saipal and Surma rural municipalities in Bajhang.
Those who want to trek Api-Saipal can come to Bajhang from Darchula or Dachurla. From Dhangadhi, you can reach Makrigad in Darchula by road via Dadeldhura, Baitadi. From there, you can reach the base camp of Api Himal in four days via Khaikot, Bhalyakhola, and Dhauli Odar.
