‍Nepal has experienced devastating flash floods along the Trishuli River from the Tibet-Nepal border down to the south of Nepal. The Rasuwa district north of the country’s capital, Kathmandu has been hit particularly hard. The full devastation is yet to be known as many areas are hard to reach and contact is further hampered by the destruction to infrastructure that’s occurred.

Nepal is a country that has been close to my heart since I first visited in 2009. I went on to study Nepali language at university and worked for a summer at the Embassy of Nepal in London during my studies.

At the end of last year, December 2025, I visited Nepal for the third time and had the privilege to trek around the Rasuwa region with Ripu, a friend and local guide.

I was reluctant to take my camera along for the hike as I wanted to keep my bag as light as possible, but Ripu encouraged me to take it and volunteered to carry it throughout. All I had to do was take the photos.

Thanks to Ripu, I have these photos now from the Rasuwa region and the mountains on the Nepal-Tibet border.

To raise funds to support local efforts in the wake of the floods, I am selling prints of the photos taken during my time trekking in Rasuwa. All the proceeds will go directly to the local communities affected.

Any questions or for more information, send me a message at vikkimariepage@gmail.com.

Thank you for supporting.

Namaste.
