BK is a trekking guide from Solukhumbu and is currently residing in Lalitpur. He and 32 others involved in the tourism sector, including Everest submitters, have been employed at the hiking and cycling trail, starting from Matatirtha.
NTB and TAAN have provided BK with ten days of work at the rate of Rs 1000 per day.
The upgrading work initiated on September 12, 2021, is scheduled to be completed by November 2.
The Matatirtha hiking trail is about 2 km, and the cycling trail is 5 km in length.
