SINDHUPALCHOWK, March 07: 106 girls traveled to the Jugal Himal base camp in Sindhupalchowk's Jugal Rural Municipality and received local mountaineering training.

Under the initiative of GIA, a global adventure organization, the training was provided with the financial support of Jugal Rural Municipality, Chautara Sangachokgadhi, and Melamchi Municipality. During a three-day trip to Jugal Rural Municipality, the girls learned about the district's history, geography, and religious culture.
