“For many years, I have been coming to Butwal to sell herbs and spices from my village in Jumla. There are buses now from Surkhet to bring me here, but at one time there were no roads and no buses. Back then, I can’t imagine how long it took. But I had to walk for days and days to reach here. Sometimes without food, sometimes without water. But I walked. Maybe I could have reached the sun with all that walking.”
– Fagune Buda, Nerkot, Jumla. Met him in Butwal
