KATHMANDU: It has been nine years since Barpak in Gorkha was struck by a devastating earthquake in 2072 BS.

Despite the immense loss and destruction, today, Barpak, the epicenter of the Baishak 12, 2072 BS earthquake, stands as a testament to resilience and reconstruction.

The community has risen from the ruins, displaying remarkable strength and determination to rebuild.
