“You will bistarai, you will bistarai”. Let’s start today’s diary with these Nepalese words “Slowly, slowly” which are accompanying us like a refrain these days.

From Varese to Nepal 2024: “Bistarai, bistarai” 4 of 8
“Slowly, slowly” the group from Bulbule walked towards Pike Base Camp, crossing wonderful landscapes in suggestive nature.
“Slowly, slowly” the other group reached Khamding to visit the “Wongchhu Sherpa memorial hospital” (named after a dear friend of Ngima) and meet some families from the village
Ngima Sherpa has been wearing it for years several hikers, some of them from Varese or Varese, one step away from the highest peaks in the world in his native Nepal (HERE is the series of articles entitled “Nepali Diary”).
Ngima is 56 years old, Nepalese and has lived in Varese for almost 20 years with his family, wife and four children. He is the president of “Okhaldhunga Nine Hill Association”, as well as managing the “Unlimited Sherpa Expeditions” agency. For a few months he has also been president of the “Nepal nel cuore ODV” association.
Together with his association based in Nepal, he organizes various types of trips. With this group of solidarity walkers will cross villages and places where few hikers have had the chance to arrive, taking advantage of a significant and important opportunity. Through the help and charity of many individual friends and associations Ngima and his collaborators have managed to do a lot: four schools, an orphanage, long-distance adoptions, an underground tank of drinking water, a crematorium, two clinics, a clinic for hygiene and sanitation for women, a delivery room, solar panels, a fireplace, a stove, two decks, a radio and much more.
This year the group that is preparing is made up of 10 people who, through word of mouth, savoring a Nepalese dinner, participating in a Tibetan bell event, have entrusted themselves to Ngima and his “Nine Hills” staff to travel this journey together.
