BLOOD DIAMOND IN ROLPA Posted on Friday, April 30, 2010 | 0 comments

More often that not,when one thinks about Rolpa,one cannot help but associate this western hilly district with image of bloodshed,army cantonments,poverty and under development.It is,after all,the cradle of political revolution, where Nepal's decade - long civil war started,with the maoists attacking Holeri's police station on 13 febraury 1996.Later in 2002,a major battle was fought between maoist guerillas and the army at Lisne Lekh near Rolpa-Pyuthan border.The war claimed the lives of more than 700 locals,making Rolpa one of the area with the highes death and casualty rate.Many civilians were also force to abendon their homes in times of violence,rendering themselves as initially displace persons living on the margins.But aside from the painful past,few are aware that Rolpa also home to scenic views and sies of religious worship.
The gaeway point to Rolpa os Holeri in the southwest and the road that goes into this hill town is a winding journey from Dang which takes about a day.The first seight that greets you are small lodges and tea houses that line the slopes and on the opposite side of the road,a large pile of empty thinner cans glinting in the sun like a hill of silver.As you make your way deeper into the town,the main road narrows and splits into the side paths leading to the health post,school and residence.life is simple and rustic,with most people engaging in agriculture or metalwork.the only traffic that one sees is the occasional tractors delivering raw materials and goods from neighboring district.If you are keen to scale greater height and have a better view of lush hills and greenery,trek up the Rungkot Gadlekh mountain.Standing at the height of 2400m,it offers a majestic panorama of more than half the district of Nepal,including the himalian rannges.
At the end the most valuable gift to take away from visiting Rolpa is not just memories and the pictures, but the staunch resolution that never again should Nepalis relive days of violence and unrest.
