“There are 27 mules carrying goods to Philim this time. Each will carry up to 30 kilos. Since there are no roads but only steep trails on the cliff I better fasten the luggage securely. I have had experiences of mules falling off the cliff straight to the Budi Gandaki river never to be found again.”
And how old are you?
“15.”
– Kancha Lama, Met him in Sotikhola, Gorkha District
