Hagam - a village in need

During our visit in February 2017, we took a very difficult trip to Hagam, a village still in ruins.  We took a party from Leadership Challenges, who are heading up the first e2e Challenge cycle expedition in October November 2017. For all,  this was their first visit to Nepal and their first exposure to the destructive forces of the 2015 earthquakes and landslides. The jouney was especially difficult. The first two hours by road from Kathmandu were easy. The following three hours off into the hills took their toll on one of the vehicles that along with some of its passengers, returned to camp.  This track has been cut off for nearly two years but the welcome beyond was worth the discomfort, as the following personal account describes.
