The village under the Himalaya, Lukla. From here, you can only climb the Himalayas with your own two feet. Many tourists come here to admire the beautiful scenery of nature. It is a beautiful path with romantic memories for the tourists. But for some people, the same path could be somewhere with a burden of life, carrying heavy loads for someone else. Nepalese porters climb the Himalayas wit)h the heavy loads of the tourists. The amount of the loads is more than the one that the porters might not even use all to their grave. Thirteen-year-old Sonam also climbs the Himalayas instead of going to school because of the difficult family situation.
