April 12, 2023: Update from Remote Tsum

Yesterday morning we woke up in Kathmandu at 4AM to helicopter to remote Tsum on the Tibetan border. It is evening on the second day and it is -4C. The building is not heated and we are surrounded by astonishing Himalayan mountains covered with snow.

Mission today is to visit local homes, where people are actually living, and one house that will be transformed into a House Museum for visitors, and to preserve a way of life that is vanishing fast for future Tsum generations.

Here are some images for you:
