Walking the Saanibheri trail towards the Sisne Himal Base Camp in Sisne Rural Municipality–1, Rukum East, our Nyaano (Warm Jacket) Distribution Trek is slowly coming to an end.
This followed our early November jacket distribution in Dolpo, continuing the same commitment to reach children in the most remote Himalayan communities.
There is no road access from the district headquarters in Rukumkot, and electricity remains limited in most villages. The cold is sharp and unforgiving. Yet, what stays with us most is the quiet warmth of the people—the way communities welcomed us and the genuine joy of the children.
Together with Metal for Nepal, the KarmaFlights Foundation team was able to distribute warm jackets and shoes to more than 760 students across six remote schools in Sisne–1. For many of these children, it was the first warm jacket they had ever received.
Snow has not fallen here for last 3 years, but the winter cold still settles deep in the mountains. Seeing the children’s smiles and the resilience of their families reminded us why these long walks matter.
We are deeply grateful to our Adventure With Purpose companions—Ramesh Paudyal (SWN), Flower KC, Shilpa Maske, Suraj Karanranjit, Suraj Timalsina, Pujan Lama, Raju Pariyar, Sovit Thakuri, Subash Paudel, Karmasahi Gharti Magar, Renuka Karki, Bipin Pariyar, Govinda Paudel, and Prem Bahadur Kunwar—as well as Pokhara-based schools, teachers, students, and local entrepreneurs who stood with us. Your trust and generosity carried this journey forward.
As we close the Nyaano Jacket 2025 journey, we do so with gratitude and humility, already preparing to return with renewed purpose for Nyaano Jacket 2026.
A full documentary will be shared in the coming days.
