In the last decade, Nepal cricket has leaped far ahead in world cricket. Although it has not won major tournaments, the team has established itself as the “cardiac kids.” World cricket is talking about them.

I support Local Empowerment. So, I’m sharing this Everest Base Camp Trek to promote a new way of trekking where trekkers can empower the local service providers like lodges, guides and porters by booking services directly through them. #empoweringthehimalayas #freetriptoeverest
