Sagarmatha Next — Attraction in Khumbupasanglahmu

WHOLESOME is the closest word that describes your feeling after visiting the precincts of this wonderful alpine gallery. At least in my case this was true. Could have easily passed by had not one of my two clients chimed inside out of curiosity.

A great initiative not only to make people aware of the waste in the mountains, but rather to change the general perspective towards waste... That waste does not have to be dirty. That it can be modified into something truly aesthetic. If alchemy exists for real, I guess this is the place to see it with your eyes.

Buying their arts with a range of price is a great way to support their initiative. Even if you don't buy anything or are not in a capacity to donate just be there if you are at Namche or in one of its surrounding settlements. It will be worth your time or of your clients.

I’m not sure whether the pricing reflects a fundraising goal or another purpose, but it does feel a bit steep. Despite this, Sagarmatha Next is certainly...

Discovered this by “accident,” (there are no accidents), as well as Moware Design, a Dutch firm, who were invited by this community in the Himalaya’s to act as design consultants—

on a wonderful little Youtube channel called “Never Too Small.” Try to say that in one breath! Forgive my sentence structure.

Don’t walk, run to the register and buy these exquisite objects d’art. Not only will they beautify your environment, the environment will be a benefactor of your largess.

For me personally, it’s a reminder that whatever my “Everest,”— that anything worth giving one’s life to— requires much.

And, it’s only in the pursuit of that goal that one discovers what they are really,...
