I was blocked with my teams on the way to Tsum valley at Chisopani, Gorkha. No mobile coverage, no internet and no rescue. All way were blocked by landslide, animals bodies were scattered elsewhere. as main trails were damaged, continue landslide, stone fall and bad weather, we walked through unknown path up and down. Finally reached ‪#‎Laprak‬village. Sirdibas, Kerauja, Machhakhola, Lapsibot, Gumda, Uhiya, Singla and Laprak villages are completely destoryed. there are still no idea how many people death. Still the rescue team can't rescued most of village the injuries from these villages. Many dies due to not rescued in a time. The situation are so critical that there are no electricity, no communication, no food, no safe drinking water and spread of commicable diseases. This all image are #Laprak Village now

Approche

Depuis le parking du Col de la Gardiole, prendre la piste goudronnée en direction du Vallon d’En Vau, passer à droite de la maison forestière de la Gardiole. Prendre à droite piste, sentier marron n°5, qui descend au fond du vallon d’En Vau. Poursuivre dans ce vallon sur 500m jusqu’à une intersection à droite. Tourner à droite et suivre immédiatement à gauche le sentier marron n°5 qui monte pour rejoindre le Col de l’Oule. Accès idem que les "futurs Croulants", en rappel ou par les "Écureuils".
