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

The catastrophe claimed the lives of around 9,000 people, affecting regions spanning Gorkha, Dolakha, Sindhupalchok, Kavre, and the Kathmandu Valley.

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.
