  • Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015
    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015 This report is produced by the OSOCC Assessment Cell based on secondary data from multiple sources, including the Government of Nepal, UNDAC, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organisation and media sources. I. Situation Overview Gorkha, with a population of more than 271,000, is one of the worst-affected districts.1 The epicenter of the earthquake was in Brapok, 15km from Gorkha town. As of 6 May, 412 people have been reported killed and 1,034 injured. In the southern part of the district, food has been provided, but field observations indicate that the food supplied might not be enough for the actual population in the area. Several VDCs in the mountainous areas of Gorkha are yet to be reached by humanitarian assistance. There are no roads in these northern areas, only footpaths. The level of destruction within the district and even within VDCs varies widely, as does the availability of food. A humanitarian hub has been set up at the Chief District Officer’s (CDO) premises in Gorkha town. Reported number of people in need (multiple sources) The figures featured in this map have been collected via multiple sources (district authorities, Red Cross, local NGO, media). Where multiple figures for the same location have been reported the highest one was taken. These figures are indicative and do not represent the overall number of people in need. 1 This is an updated version of the Gorkha District Profile that was published by ACAPS on 1 May 2015. As with other mountain areas of Nepal, Gorkha contains popular locations for foreign trekkers.

  • KEY FINDINGS Gorkha
    Assessment Report Gorkha 18 June 2015 KEY FINDINGS A government led multi-cluster joint assessment facilitated by DDRC Gorkha and coordinated by OCHA covering 7 northern hard-to-reach VDCs in Gorkha was conducted between 1 June and 8 June. Focus group discussions were held with key informants in 13 communities to collect information. • Food security, shelter and communication were the first, second and third priorities respectively. Food was perceived as the most important need given coping mechanisms of stockpiling food for the monsoon had been disrupted, along with loss of food stocks due to shelter damage. There were also uncertainties about how much food aid would be provided. • These areas are normally connected by trails and were accessible by foot and pack animals prior to the earthquake. Active landslides were encountered in the eastern VDCs rendering existing trails impassable and hazardous, limiting access to helicopter only. Communities remained fearful of venturing out given the risk of landslides. • Several communities reported extremely high proportions of single- or female-headed households (from half to two thirds of total households). This is indicative of a lack of a young and able-bodied workforce presence to contribute to the rebuilding necessitating a need to hire labour. • A fear of returning to school reflected both the concerns of parents to send children to school and children to attend school. Trails to access schools were reportedly hazardous for children to traverse alone. The combination of fear and hazardous access resulted in very poor attendance rates despite the (somewhat limited) capacity of some educational facilities to resume operations.

  • Overview Itinerary Details
    Manaslu Trek Alternative Route Overview The word Manaslu means “Mountain of the Spirit.” It comes from the Sanskrit word Manasa meaning intellect or soul. The Manaslu circuit trek located in the Gorkha District is in the north central area of Nepal. Manaslu offers a wide selection of trekking options for almost every taste. The current road construction which links Soti Khola with the Tibetan border offers an unexpected advantage for today’s trekkers. You’ll enjoy a stunning alternative trek which takes you on a higher scenic route through Baseri Village. Several Nepal Trekking Experts (NTE) guides are from the area, providing you a glimpse of Nepalese Village life when trekking with one of these locals. The alternative route avoids the hot, crowded and dusty regular road, leading you through a deep and unspoiled gorge. Because this is an untrammeled, non-tourist area, you’ll experience a home stay rather than the typical teahouse. This meaningful experience establishes a direct connection with local villagers and exposes you to their unique dialect, history, culture and daily lifestyle. From Baseri, you’ll make your way to Yarsa and then Kasigaun, which offers a beautiful view of rolling hills. An overnight in the massif village of Kerauja affords you a different perspective on this untouched area. The Kerauja trail meets up with the regular route to Dovan and Jagat. Within two short days, snow-capped Mt. Manaslu will come into focus leading you to a fresh appreciation of the Himalayan surroundings. Enhance the experience with side trips to Pungen Gumpa, Manaslu Base Camp or the Tibetan border.

    An Ornithological Survey of Manaslu Conservation Area. Report Submitted to: Oriental Bird Club, UK. Submitted by: Jyotendra Jyu Thakuri Bird Conservation Nepal, Lazimpat, Kathmandu, Nepal [email protected] & [email protected] 2013 i Summary Bird surveys of Manaslu Conservation Area were conducted on December 2012 and April-May 2013 to cover both winter and summer visitor and breeding birds. The surveys started at Jagat, Gorkha and covered two major Valleys, the Tshum and Nubri. The overall objective of the study was to determine the seasonal and overall bird diversity and species richness of the Manaslu Conservation Area and identify the bird rich areas within the Manaslu Conservation Area. Mackinnon’s list and direct count methods were used to survey the birds. The purpose of this study is also to recommend Manaslu Conservation Area to be declared as new IBA site. A total of 191 bird species were recorded from 77 Mackinnon’s lists spending 31 days field survey. The December survey produced a total of 121 species and the April May survey 151 species independently. The April survey was able to add 70 more species in December list. The most significant bird species recorded during the survey were globally threatened Red-headed Vulture (critically endangered), Satyr Tragopan (near threatened), River Lapwing (near threatened) and nationally threatened Ibisbill (endangered), Lammergeier (vulnerable) and Himalayan Griffon (vulnerable) . Forest is the important habitat for the birds in MCA which is reflected by the recording of 116 Forest, 17 Wetland, 13 Forest and agriculture, 14 Forest and Mountain, 20 Mountain and open area, 3 Mountain and agriculture, 3 Grassland and agriculture, 3Human settlements and 2 Agriculture - human settlements dependent bird species.
