Museum Development Event Date : 8 August, 2015

Many people in the world may not know much about the small country called Nepal, but they certainly know about this peak, the tallest in the world, called Mount Everest. Not only this highest peak, but also other 8 of the 14 peaks above the height of eight thousand meters in the world stand tall in Himalayan range of Nepal. The Himalaya is the source of water resources for billions of people living in the world. Flora and fauna in the Himalayan range is the natural habitat for the thousands of known and unknown species that contribute in maintaining and restructuring the ecosystems of our world, day and night. The little surfaced cultural values of the mountain people, geological mysteries buried underneath; nature’s serene beauty- wonders on its rock- hard and melting surfaces- make the Nepalese proud and people of the world an epi-center for their explorations. Mountains and mountaineering have a history of their own. Without preserving it, it will not be long before all the records and evidences will be lost forever. The basic objective for Museum Development in Sankhuwasabha is to record, document and chronicle the past and present development of mountaineering in this area activities in the world in general and to preserve the saga of the momentous feats in the history of mountaineering in these available  Himalayan peaks in particular.

With an objective of maintaining systematic records of the successful mountaineers, geographic flora and fauna and human activities in the range, The Makalu Museum will be establish at the foot step of Arun Valley and gate way to the great mountainous region.
