  • Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Rasuwa OSOCC Assessment Cell 10.05.2015
    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Rasuwa OSOCC Assessment Cell 10.05.2015 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 Rasuwa is one of the worst affected districts by the 25 April earthquake. As of 8 May, 430 people have been reported killed and 753 injured (MoFA 08/05/2015). Most of those that died in the district were killed in an avalanche that buried inhabtants of Langtang village including tourists in the guesthouses. Some remote areas are yet to be reached or accounted for. More than 63% of the district’s territory is at an elevation of more than 3000 meters. Of the remaining territory, most parts are located at an elevation between 1000 – 3000 meters (University of Copenhagen 2005) and parts of Rasuwa were without road access even before the earthquake, further challenging the relief effort. In the first few days after the earthquake very little information was available from Rasuwa. Field reports have gradually come in that help understand thesituation. Initial estimates based on Government data of damaged buildings in the affected districts, suggests that 82% of the population of Rasuwa have been affected by the earthquake. According to Government data, 8,000 buildings were destroyed in the earthquake. This figure is however unconfirmed and represents a preliminary estimate based on the combination of reports from a range of sources providing information on needs at the VDC level1(Please see map below for an illustration of aggregated number of reported people in need).

  • NEPAL Earthquake ECHO CRISIS FLASH No
    NEPAL Earthquake ECHO CRISIS FLASH No. 10 shortage Period covered 1. Map 25 April – 4 May 2015 Time of validity 18:00 (Kathmandu) – 12:15 (UTC) ECHO Field Office New Delhi – INDIA Number of dead (Government of Nepal): 7 276 Number of wounded (Government of Nepal): 14 362 2. Situation The death toll resulting from the earthquake which struck central Nepal on 25 April has risen to 7 276, with 14 362 injured (Government of Nepal-GoN figures, 4 May). It is anticipated that these figures will further increase as remote areas are becoming accessible for government officials and humanitarian actors. On 3 May, the GoN declared the USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) phase over; it is now paramount that the emergency humanitarian response is further scaled up to reach remote and most affected Village Development Committees (VDCs), ensuring speedy movement and delivery of relief items. According to UN estimates, up to 8 million people have been affected by the ECHO Emergency Contact earthquake. Over 54% of the deaths have been recorded in the districts of Tel.: +32 2 29 21112 Sindhupalchowk and Kathmandu, but there remain entire districts, such as Fax: +32 2 29 86651 Rasuwa, which have yet to be accessed. Approximately 2.8 million people are [email protected] believed to have been temporarily displaced from their homes (USAID Factsheet 7), though numbers are decreasing as people return home in the ECHO Crisis Flash No. 10 – NEPAL Earthquake Kathmandu Valley or are moving from there to their rural districts of origin. Over 10 700 houses have been reported destroyed, with over 14 700 damaged; the GoN estimates that over 200 000 houses have been destroyed and more than 188 000 damaged (GoN, 3 May).

    Nepal Hidden Treks & Expedition P. Ltd Tamang Heritange Trek Introduction Tamang heritage trek starts from Syabrubesi (1460m) and passes through Gatlang, Chilime, Thuman, Timure and Briddim tamang villlage.The people of this region are mostly Tibetans who came from Kerung in Tibet across the border and settled in Nepal. In earlier days, the citizenship of Nepal would not be offered to real Tibetans, so they changed their ethnicity to tamang, which is what they still write till date. The cultural and traditions of these people are similar to the Tibetan across the border. Gatlang is a traditional Tamang village. Gatlang set high on a hillside among terraced fields is the Tamang settlement. One can also visit a Tamang monastery and the beautiful Parvatikunda Lake at Gatlang. From the viewpoint at Bahundanda near these settlements, called Parwati Kunda and one can also see a panoramic view of Lantang, Kerung, and the Ganesh Himal, Sanjen Himal ranges. Bathing in the hot, healing waters of the natural spring at Tatopani is an exhilarating experience. Nagathali (3165m, view point) in Thuman VDC is surrounded by beautiful views of Langtang, Kerung, Ganesh Himal and Sanjen Himal ranges. Nagthali used to be a popular meditation center for the local monks and priests. The ancient monasteries and houses adorned with rich wood engravings at Thuman village are an unforgettable experience. Timure is on the old trade route to Tibet. A fort at Rasuwagadi in Timure is a historical reminder of the Nepal-Tibet relations that has existed for many centuries. A suspension bridge here links Nepal and Tibet.

The study has succeeded in unveiling the situation of Tamang in the project-affected areas, particularly Haku, Ramche and Dhunche of Rasuwa. International human rights instruments pertaining to indigenous peoples (IPs) provide IPs the right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) and meaningful participation in development projects carried out in their lands and territories. Similarly, private sector actors are also obliged to respect the human rights of affected communities prior to, during and after the implementation of the project. But both the government and private sector often ignore the presence of IPs in the project site and engage in violation of rights of IPs and local communities in the project area. The Upper Trishuli-1 project is a representative case where provisions of international human rights instruments including the principle of FPIC have been violated.

  • Trekking in Nepal: Teach and Trek Program, Fundraising Treks
    Helambu Education and Livelihood Project Trekking in Nepal: Teach and Trek Program, Fundraising Treks Address: Boudha, Jorpati, Kathmandu, Nepal Tel: 977 97510 03462 Email: [email protected] OVERVIEW Nepal is an excellent country for trekking and offers many options, whether you're interested in reaching Everest Base Camp, exploring the Annapurna circuit, or heading into Helambu or Langtang National Park. The Helambu Education and Livelihood Project (HELP) offers two types of treks: the Teach and Trek Program for volunteers teaching in Helambu schools, and Fundraising Treks for individuals who are interested in supporting H.E.L.P. through fundraising but who are unable volunteer at one of the schools during their trip to Nepal. Unlike travel agencies, HELP is a charity which is determined to improve the education and lives of the people living in Helambu. The costs of our treks include a donation to our projects, with minimal administration fees – your money will cover your trekking expenses and will also contribute to a worthwhile charity at a lower cost than treks organized by most travel agencies. TEACH AND TREK PROGRAM A program that we offer for those with a sense of adventure and a passion for working with children is our Teach and Trek Program . This program combines your time volunteering at a school as well as a trek either before or after your placement. Treks vary in length and difficulty, but you will, without a doubt, have a unique experience exploring the land of the majestic Himalayas. Not only will your time spent teaching contribute to the local village in a number of ways, but a trek also brings in income to the local economy.
