From Lukla airport of Solukhumbu,
trekker reach Setopokhari valley (around 3,700 m. and which is also
the origin
place of Saptakoshi the greatest river in Nepal) through Kothe, Naulekh and
Merala pass
(5,415). There are following four alternatives for trekkers to
reach this Setopokhari valley:-
- From Lukla through
Namche, Tengboche and Mingbola pass (5,817 m.),
- From Lukla through
Namche, Chhukung and Amphulapcha pass (5,800 m.),
- From Tumlingtar
through Makalu base camp and Sherpenicol pass (6,135 m.) and
- From Tumlingtar
through Tamku, Kenpa and Gaubitta pass (around 3,900 m.).
It is compulsory to pass at least one
from aforementioned five peaks Merala, Mingbola, Amphulapcha,Sherpenicol and
Gaubitta to come back for the trekkers. In the case of unfortunate snowing,
many trekkers cannot cross the mountains and have been being rescued by the
helicopter. But most of the porters have to face big problems and sometime they
die there. However, trekkers go there in every season to submit Mt. Barunje,
Mera, Chamlang, Makalu and many more. In the trekking season the valley becomes
like a recognized town.
In this situation, it is extremely
needed to develop new trekking way through the bank of Hunga River (branch of
Saptakoshi), which never passes any peaks. If it is developed a new trekking
way to reach Muddikhadka of Chheskam from Setopokhari, trekkers can back Phaplu
through Chheskam, Bung, Sotang, Pawai, Deusa, Mukli, Garma and Salleri, which
also will be a rescue way for the trekkers. They also can back Tumlingtar
through Chheskam, Gudel, Bhojpur Dobane or Khotang Lamidada airport through
Salpa pass, Dharmapeak, Aiselukharka of Khotang. The name of this trail may be
the Phaplu Setopokhari trekking trail and Lamidada Setopokhari trail as well. It
was a preliminary survey by local peoples of Chheskam, however it is the first
time that District Technical Office jointly with Chheskam
Village Development
Fund on behalf of Nepal government has planned to perform survey work of this
Phaplu Setopokhari trail.
We local youths in Kathmandu shared this government plan and possibilities of that two trekking trails with

Background
Solukhumbu Nepal is known as a
tourism destination due to Mt. Everest, cultural diversity, wild life, flora
and fauna in Sagarmatha National Park and Makalu Barun National Park. However
the southern part of Solukhumbu has been over shadowed mainly due to the lack
of infrastructure development, dissemination, lodges and hotels etc. However
there is the possibility of tourism development, if it an effective development
strategy is implemented. Also the other reason not to develop in southern part
of Solukhumbu is the trekking trails of lower Solukhumbu have not been linked
with upper recognized trails. Although there are enough possibilities of new trekking trails development.
Possibilities of new trekking trails in southern part of Solukhumbu
A. Phaplu Setopokhari tourism trails
From Lukla airport of Solukhumbu,
trekker reach Setopokhari valley (around 3,700 m. and which is also the origin
place of Saptakoshi the greatest river in Nepal) through Kothe, Naulekh and Merala pass (5,415).There are also following four alternatives for trekkers to reach in this Setopokhari valley:-
a.
From Lukla through Namche, Tengboche
and Mingbola pass (5,817 m.),
b.
From Lukla through Namche, Chhukung
and Amphulapcha pass (5,800 m.),
c.
From Tumlingtar through Makalu
basecamp and Sherpenicol pass (6,135 m.) and
d.
From Tumlingtar through Tamku, Kenpa
and Gaubitta pass (around 3,900 m.).
It is compulsory to pass at least one from aforementioned
five peaks Merala, Mingbola, Amphulapcha, Sherpenicol and Gaubitta to come back
for the trekkers. In the case of unfortunate snowing, many trekkers
who cannot cross aforementioned peaks
have been being rescued by the helicopter. But most of the porters have to face

Setopokhari Trekking Trails:
Lamidada Khotang to Solukhumbu Phaplu and Kangeldada airport

Setipokhari through Bhakari Chhiruwa, Kongkho, Bhukur Dada, Batase dada,
Kamire, Kenpa and Dharmadhoka as a new mountaineering trekking trail. The main

Conclusion:
In overall the survey report will be
an instrument for lobby and advocacy to develop these trekking trails in lower

that these trekking routes are not only the issues of Solukhumbu but also the
common issues of Sangkhuwasava, Bhojpur, Khotang. What is more this issues also
a national issues for promotion of tourism in Nepal. Peoples of Sangkhuwasava,
bhojpur, Khotang and Solukhumbu will be benefited by this trails. Tourists can
trek cultural and mountaineering in the same time. If they can pass Amphulapcha
they will reach Mt. Everest too. In this situation it will be the round
trekking trail from Lamidada and Phaplu to Lukla.
Tosh Seel Annex 1
In normal sense a culture worshiping
of nature (lands) in Kulung community is called Tosh. The major theme of Tosh
is to thank to nature (God in Kirati religion) for providing foods and to pray
again to provide foods to all the animals of earth. The history of Tosh is
interested.
Before 22 generation (Kulung
genealogy published by Kulung Association),Dhanamukha a powerful ancestor of
Kulung used to live there in Chhemsing village under Mahakulung. He was really
powerful. He used to bring whole big tree without making piece. He used to eat
12 times more than normal person. Once in a spring season there was food
scarcity, because of drought. Kulung peoples became worried to live.
One day Dhanamukh collect many bulls
of village, choose the most powerful one and killed by beating. The bull
shouted. That evening it was big rainfall there. What was the actual scientific
relation of two events killing bull and rainfall. But peoples believed that it
was because of sound of bull, god got message of peoples of earth and sent
water. Anyway all the peoples became very happy on rainy. Then they celebrate
party together by eating the meat of bull with all their foods stored to save
their life. And they expressed their thankful to the nature and again prayed
for further more foods. They danced like some plants moving by wind. They
celebrated this occasion at least 4 days. The first start day is called Telsam
and the place to organize Telsam is called Denam. The last day or forth day
celebration is called Tosh. The original Denam, where Dhanamukh killed the bull
is lies in Chheskam 3, Chhemsi of Solukhumbu.
Since this event Kulung community had
been celebrating this festival by killing bull per year. But when Nepal was
declared Hindu country legally. Kulung community was not allowed to celebrate
their culture by killing bull. Then they started to celebrate by mixing some
part of meat of death cow in collected food from community and kept continue to
save their theme of culture. Now they use to dance at least twice per year in
Kulung community as well as in Kirati community by worshiping for more food and
thanking to provide now. The dance is likely the moving style of crops by wind.
This kind of cultural dance is called Tosh Seel . Chamling peoples say
Sakela seel, Bantawa say Sakewa seel. The common name of this dance is Chandi
nach (Chandi dance). But Chandi is not a language of Kirati indigenous.
So they want to recognize their own culture in their own language.
Pomlalung : Annex 2
In the age of hunting one of the Kulung ancester Ratapkhu
had gone to Pomlalung area above the Gudel village in Mahakulung for hunting
with his son.They found very big cave there and they lived there during their
hunting. This cave is called Pomlalung in Kulung language. Unfortunately one
night the son of Ratapkhu died there. Ratapkhu became very sad. He wanted to
bring that death body of his son but it was not possible to bring alone
himself. Then he told to his son's death body that he could send all spirits of
Kulung there. So his son gets more friends there in that slitary jungle. Then
Ratapkhu buried his son's death body there. Since this event Kulung community
have been sending their spirite of death
bodies there. It is therefore Pomlalung is one of the most importaint place of
Kulung indigenous peoples.
Kenpa Gaubitta Kalpokhari ( Death lake): Annex 3
Around in the sixteenth century A Gurung people with more
than 1000 sheeps had come in this Kenpa area. Gurung wanted to cook some foods.
He used 3 stones as kitchen milestone. When he cooked some foods like milk and
such kind of foods, it didn't create any problems. But when he cooked some
meats or such kinds of food the milestone brokken and spelled all his food.
This event repitted more than 5 times and finnaly he becaome very angry and he
cut that stone. As result there was very big stromming and all his sheps died there.
He forcasted that the stone should be god and he kept it separately and made a
temple there. When a local Kulung Ancestor namely Thimra listen that event he
decided to go there for worshiping. He went to there with his other more team
members on the occassion of Janai Purnima ( special date according to Nepali
callender and it is in the month of Auguest). When he reached there he said to
his assistants and he promised to go inside the lake and bring a buffelo. But
it was a term for his assistants that they had to play his drome very loughly.
But when he brough a buffelo as he said his assistants affried and they went
away. Then the buffelo backed him inside the lake. It indicated some blood in
that lake. The Thimra person never returned. Since this day it started to be
recognized as a death lake. now days also tourists can see that cut sore of god
at the temple and that lake at Gaubitta. Since that event many peoples from
Bhojpur, Solukhumbu, Sangkhuwasava have been worshiping in this place on the
accasion of Janai Purnima.
