Story



In October 2017 John White, Charlie Harris, Piers Lawson and Yam Rana spent 3 days together in and above the Buri Gandaki river valley as part of an introductory visit to Nepal for Charlie, a generous supporter of the Trust.  We were there to visit Shree Bhawani Higher Secondary School in Manbu and upon our return to the Green Valley Hotel in Soti and over a thirst-quenching beer someone had the bright idea that we should participate in Trailwalker 2018.  So here we are, staring reality in the face, and as someone has rudely suggested, 'attempting' to complete Traliwalker 2018.  Let there be no doubt, this is not an 'attempt'.  We are raising funds for the school we all visited in Manbu.

  
Our target is Shree Bhawani School in upper Gorkha, just 10 miles from the epicentre of the 2015 earthquake.  This is the first and last school in Gorkha district - two more days' walk is the border with Tibet. 



Our team has all visited Shree Bhawani school and we decided on the last trip to do something more about it.
