नमस्ते टोखा देश र समाजमा भइरहेको विकृति र विसंगतीलाई सबै सामु छर्लंग पार्ने एउटा रङ्गमन्च हो! Tek Bahadur Shrestha.

Tokha is a municipality in the Central development region of Kathmandu District in the Bagmati Zone of Nepal. The new municipality was formed by merging five existing villages — Dhapasi, Jhor Mahankal, Gonggabu, Tokha Chandeswori and Tokha Sarswoti on 3rd December 2014 .The office of the Tokha municipality is in Greenland of the former Tokha Chandeswori village development committee. Tokha, consi

st of two VDCs; northern- Chandeshwori VDC and Southern-Saraswoti. Tokha has cultural and multidimensional importance, it has also many bases that there is the historical importance and this area is abundantly ancient and has prosperous background. The monument has also proved that Tokha has historical importance even in Lichhavi Dynasty. But this monument is in very poor condition which has not enough clarification about political importance of Tokha. But the word used in monument like 'Gulma' (Bajracharya) shows that there was security post for administrative section in Lichhavi Dynasty. One of the intellectual opines that 'Gulma' may refer to 'Police station' or 'Army Barrack'. On the other hand Historian Jadish Chandra Regmi says that even though Gulma word referred to security condition, its structure shows the administrative division. As the word 'Sh*tahi Gulma' in Thankot monument and 'Aangani Gulma' in Patan monument have been mentioned in Basanta Dev's Aadi Narayan monument, in the same way, the effete (poor) monument of Tokha has not been able to tell the name of the 'Gulm' because of which it was not clear that Tokha was called by a distinct name in Lichhavi period. In addition to it, the mentioned words in the monument like 'Tilmak' and 'Tilmak Sangam' shows that the area got grate fame in the agricultural sector. It is clear that the monument was written in 519 B.S but Tek bahadur Shrestha has mentioned that it was written in 591 B.S. he has added that people had settled in Lichhavi Period and there is written that those people should not be irritated by the government personnel which helps to understand that the citizens occupies significant position in those days. In the medieval period, there was great importance of politics in Tokha. The rulers of this period have developed this area as forth. This has been mentioned for the first time in Nepal in 3756B.S. In Gopal Raj Bansawali, there is said that Nepi forth and Tokha forth had protested the looting of gold of the forth by Jaya Dev 1st. In Nepal sambat 374, there is mentioned that Jaya Dev 1st was protested by Nepikwath and Tokhakwat, when he looted the gold of the forth at night of Aswin Krishna chaturdashi. In Nepal Sambat 377 Jaya Dev was the King who was the son of Avyaa Malla that is return by Petek. After the death of his father Avyaa Malla in 375, at the young age of Prince he became the King. It clarifies that he had looted the gold in his prince age. Indeed, the geographical structure of Tokha is seemed as forth and whole Tokha as the Forth. The main forth can be seen inside the old inhabitant of northern side where goddess Taleju Bhawani has been established then. There were two stone taps in this place but they have been buried. This main forth area is seen significant in politics administration and cultural since ancient time. It is mentionable about the murder of Gopal Dev which has been mentioned by Gopal Vamsawali when the political history of Tokha forth is mentioned. Gopal Dev was Nayak Devi's husband Harish Chandra's Brother. After the assassination of Harish Chandra who was about to snatch the power because of the son in law relationship, Gopal Dev was trying to snatch the same power who was later driven by Gagan Singh Nayak Devi's husband from Bhaktapur to Lalitpur and then again he was driven from there also. But Jogram Mulmi, who was powerful Courtier, was on his side. In 460 Nepal Sambat, Gopal Dev reached Tokha fort with the help of Mulmi. Then there they raised the local people and started protesting. But Tripur took Tokha in his control and many were captured and Gopal Dev was also assassinated. Pasupati Malla is also mentionable when political history of Tokha is mentioned here. Even though, Pasupati Malla doesn't occupy any distinct position in case of dynasty, he has been explained as son (heir) of Jayari Malla by Lusiyano Petek. Indeed, after the death of Jayari Malla there was lack of true heir. To settle down the political dispute and confusions it is seen that Aananda Dev's son was made a King. In the same time Pasupati Malla was in prisoned in the base of Gopal Dynasty which has been mentioned by Mr. It is also mentioned that the famous chief Minister of Nuwakot, Tej Pal who was exiled in Nepal Sambat 478 and stayed as refugee in Tokha fort. In context of political history of Tokha the Important topic to be raised is about Queen Riddhi Laxmi. Riddhi Laxmi was Queen of Parthi Bendri later on who was imprisoned by her own son Bhupalendra raising the issue of his father's murder. Ramji Tiwari has said that she was imprisoned in Tokha fort. Since ancient time Tokha has been the battle field and it was captured by king Prithvi Narayan Shah In1822 B.S. The local people had supported him and the establishment of 'Kotu Ganesh' is also related with the entrance of the Prithvi Narayan Shah in Tokha. In this way many significant protest and events are related to Tokha which most not be ignored. Tokha is considered as a significant territory in relating with the ancient history to medieval and modern history. Population

The present population of this village is about 15000 as per census of 2058 B.S. Occupation of people here is Agricultural based and most adults are abroaded in Gulf countries in search of work. Education

मान्छेहरू प्रायः मायामा पर्दा हतारिन्छन् सँगै जिउने, सँगै हाँस्ने र एउटै छानोमुनि जिन्दगी बिताउने सपना देख्छन्। तर जिन्दगी सपना र फिल्मजस्तो सजिलो कहाँ हुन्छ र?
माया हुनु र माया टिकाइराख्नु दुई फरक कुरा हुन्। विवाह केवल दुईवटा दिलको मिलन मात्र होइन, जिम्मेवारी, त्याग, सम्झौता र सहनशीलताको ठूलो परीक्षा पनि हो। कहिलेकाहीँ मान्छेहरू क्षणिक आकर्षणलाई नै जिन्दगीभरको माया सम्झिने भूल गर्छन्। तर जब विवाहपछि दैनिक जीवनका व्यावहारिक चुनौतीहरू अगाडि आउँछन्, तब त्यो भावना विस्तारै सेलाउँदै जान सक्छ।
त्यसैले विवाहको निर्णय हतारमा होइन, परिपक्वता र एक-अर्कालाई राम्रोसँग बुझेर मात्र लिनुपर्छ। माया गर्नु गाह्रो छैन, तर विवाहपछिको हरेक परिस्थितिमा त्यही मायालाई जोगाएर राख्नु नै वास्तविक चुनौती हो।
त्यसैले साथी... हतार नगरौँ, पहिले आफू र आफ्नो सम्बन्धलाई परिपक्व बनाऔँ।

हिमालको सेतो सौन्दर्यले संसारभरका लाखौँ साहसीहरूलाई आफ्नो शिखरतर्फ डाक्छ। तर त्यही हिमालको काखमा एउटा यस्तो कठोर यथार्थ पनि लुकेको छ, जसले हरेक वर्ष धेरै परिवारलाई जीवनभरको पीडा दिन्छ। विश्वका अग्ला हिमालहरूमा ज्यान गुमाएका धेरै पर्वतारोहीहरू आफ्ना परिवारकहाँ कहिल्यै फर्किन पाउँदैनन्। उनीहरूको अन्तिम विश्रामस्थल हिमाल नै बन्छ।

किन हिमालमा ज्यान गुमाएका सबै आरोहीका शव तल ल्याइँदैन?

यसको उत्तर केवल कठिन मौसम वा अत्यधिक चिसोसँग मात्र सम्बन्धित छैन। यसको पछाडि प्रकृतिको कठोर नियम, विज्ञान, मानवीय जोखिम, आर्थिक अवस्था, पर्वतारोहणको आचारसंहिता र स्वयं आरोहीहरूको अन्तिम इच्छासमेत जोडिएको हुन्छ।

❇️ आरोहीहरूका लागि बाटो चिनाउने ‘चिनारी’ बनेका शव

विश्वका अग्ला हिमालहरूमा दशकौँदेखि रहेका कतिपय शवहरू नयाँ आरोहीहरूका लागि प्राकृतिक ‘ल्यान्डमार्क’ (Landmark) नै बनेका छन्।

यसको सबैभन्दा चर्चित उदाहरण सगरमाथाको उत्तर पूर्वी मोहडामा रहेको “ग्रीन बुट्स (Green Boots)” हो। सन् १९९६ मा सगरमाथा आरोहणका क्रममा ज्यान गुमाएका भारतीय आरोही चेवाङ पाल्जोरको शव उनले लगाएको हरियो बुटका कारण ‘ग्रीन बुट्स’ नामले विश्वभर परिचित भयो।

झन्डै दुई दशकसम्म सगरमाथा आरोहण गर्नेहरूले त्यही शवलाई हेरेर आफू शिखरको कति नजिक पुगेँ र कुन दिशामा अघि बढ्नुपर्छ भन्ने अनुमान लगाउने गर्थे।

त्यस्तै, सन् १९९८ मा मृत्यु भएकी अमेरिकी पर्वतारोही फ्रान्सेस एरेन्टिएभको शव ‘स्लिपिङ ब्युटी (Sleeping Beauty)’ का नामले लामो समयसम्म चर्चामा रह्यो। पछिल्ला वर्षहरूमा ती शवहरू मुख्य मार्गबाट हटाइएका भए पनि हिमालमा शवहरू वर्षौँसम्म रहने यथार्थ आज पनि उस्तै छ।

❇️ ‘डेथ जोन’ - जहाँ जीवित रहनु नै कठिन हुन्छ:

समुद्री सतहबाट ८,००० मिटरभन्दा माथिको क्षेत्रलाई ‘डेथ जोन (Death Zone)’ भनिन्छ। यस क्षेत्रमा वायुमण्डलीय चाप र अक्सिजन सामान्यभन्दा करिब एक तिहाइ मात्र हुन्छ। यस्तो अवस्थामा मानव शरीरका कोषिकाहरू विस्तारै मर्न थाल्छन्। सामान्य हिँडडुल गर्नसमेत कठिन हुने यो क्षेत्रमा जीवित मानिसलाई आफ्नै शरीर सम्हाल्न मुस्किल हुन्छ।

यस्तो ठाउँमा माइनस ३० देखि ४० डिग्रीसम्मको तापक्रममा जमेर ढुङ्गाजस्तै कडा भइसकेको शवलाई बोकेर तल झार्नु भनेको सिधै अर्को ज्यान जोखिममा पार्नु हो।

❇️ जीवित मानिसको ज्यान बचाउने अघोषित नियम:

विश्व पर्वतारोहणमा एउटा मौन तर अत्यन्त कडा नियम छ- “एउटा मृत शरीरका लागि अर्को जीवित मानिसको ज्यान जोखिममा पारिँदैन।”

ठाडो चट्टान, हिमपहिरो, तीव्र हावा र अक्सिजनको अभावबीच शव निकाल्ने प्रयास गर्दा विगतमा धेरै अनुभवी शेर्पा र उद्धारकर्मी आफैँ दुर्घटनामा परेर ज्यान गुमाइसकेका छन्। त्यसैले पर्वतारोहण समुदायले जीवित मानिसको सुरक्षालाई पहिलो प्राथमिकता दिने गरेको छ।

❇️ ढुङ्गाजस्तै जम्छ शव:

हिमालको अत्यधिक चिसोले केही घण्टामै मृत शरीरलाई बरफजस्तै कडा बनाइदिन्छ। कतिपय शवहरू हिमनदीसँग टाँसिन्छन्। कतिपय गहिरा क्रेभास (Crevasse) मा खस्छन्। कतिपयलाई हिमपहिरोले हजारौँ फिट तल पुर्‍याइदिन्छ।

त्यस्ता शव निकाल्न धेरै समयसम्म आइस एक्स (Ice Axe) प्रयोग गरेर बरफ काट्नुपर्छ। कतिपय अवस्थामा आधुनिक उपकरणले समेत शवसम्म पुग्न सम्भव हुँदैन।

❇️ एउटा शव झार्न करोडौँ रुपैयाँ खर्च:

हिमालको माथिल्लो भागबाट एउटा शव सुरक्षित रूपमा आधार शिविरसम्म ल्याउन कम्तीमा ६ देखि १० जना दक्ष (शेर्पा) गाइड आवश्यक पर्छ। उनीहरूले आफ्नो ज्यान जोखिममा राखेर उद्धार गर्नुपर्ने भएकाले यसको खर्च अत्यन्त महँगो हुन्छ।

विशेषज्ञहरूका अनुसार एउटा शव झार्न ४० हजारदेखि ८० हजार अमेरिकी डलर (करिब ५० लाखदेखि १ करोड नेपाली रुपैयाँ) सम्म खर्च लाग्न सक्छ। यदि आरोहीको बीमाले यो खर्च बेहोर्दैन वा परिवारको आर्थिक अवस्था कमजोर छ भने शव उद्धार लगभग असम्भव बन्न पुग्छ।

❇️ हिमालमै अन्तिम विश्रामको इच्छा:

धेरै व्यावसायिक पर्वतारोहीहरूले आरोहणअघि नै एउटा Waiver Form मा हस्ताक्षर गर्ने गर्छन्। त्यसमा यदि हिमालमै मृत्यु भयो भने आवश्यक परे आफ्नो शव हिमालमै छोड्न सकिने सहमति उल्लेख गरिएको हुन्छ।

हिमाललाई भगवान् र जीवनको सबैभन्दा पवित्र स्थान मान्ने धेरै आरोहीहरूका लागि हिमालमै अन्तिम विश्राम पाउनु पनि गौरवको विषय मानिन्छ। त्यसैले परिवारको सहमतिमा कतिपय शवहरूलाई मुख्य मार्गबाट हटाएर हिउँ वा ढुङ्गाले छोपेर सम्मानपूर्वक हिमालमै छोडिन्छ। यसलाई कतिपयले ‘आइस बुरियल (Ice Burial)’ समेत भन्ने गर्छन्।

प्रकृतिको आफ्नै कठोर सीमा हुन्छ। ८,००० मिटरभन्दा माथि आधुनिक हेलिकप्टर, अत्याधुनिक उपकरण र प्रविधिको समेत सीमा समाप्त हुन्छ।

त्यसैले हिमाल केवल सफलताको शिखर मात्र होइन, मानव साहस, सपना, त्याग र प्रकृतिको अपार शक्तिको मौन स्मारक पनि हो।

आज पनि सगरमाथा, के-टु, मनास्लु, अन्नपूर्ण, ब्रड पिक लगायत विश्वका अग्ला हिमालहरूको काखमा सयौँ पर्वतारोही चिरनिद्रामा सुतिरहेका छन्। उनीहरू आफ्ना परिवारकहाँ फर्कन सकेनन्, तर उनीहरूको साहस, संघर्ष र प्रेरणाको कथा भने हिमालजस्तै अमर बनेर बाँचिरहनेछ।

हिमालले सबैलाई शिखरसम्म पुर्‍याउँदैन। तर जसलाई आफ्नै काखमा सधैँका लागि राख्छ, उनीहरूको कथा कहिल्यै मर्दैन।

🕯️ Farewell to the Heroes of Broad Peak

The mountains have fallen silent.

With profound sadness, we mourn the loss of ten brave climbers who lost their lives in the tragic avalanche on Broad Peak (8,047 m). They pursued their dreams with extraordinary courage and paid the ultimate price in the world's highest mountains.

"The highest peaks do not measure greatness by the summits reached, but by the courage to climb them. Though these mountaineers are gone, their spirits will forever live among the snow, the wind, and the stars."

Our heartfelt condolences go out to the families, friends, teammates, and the global mountaineering community. May their souls rest in eternal peace, and may their legacy continue to inspire generations to come.

🕊️ Rest in Peace

सबैभन्दा सुन्दर जिन्दगी त्यही हो, जहाँ मानिस संग केही नहोस् तर मन शान्त होस्।

27/07/2026

जीवन एकपटक मात्र पाइने अनौठो यात्रा हो। यहाँ न त कोही सधैंका लागि रहन्छ, न त परिस्थिति नै एउटै रहन्छ। यस्तो अनिश्चित जीवनमा कसैप्रति रिस र मनमुटाव राखेर आफ्नो मनको शान्ति गुमाउनु मूर्खता मात्र हो। आफूलाई जलाउने रिसलाई त्यागेर क्षमा, माया र आत्मीयताका साथ अघि बढ्नु नै जिन्दगीको सही सदुपयोग हो🙏🏻
