I'm in Pokhara trying to get stuff built for the Leopard Rewilding Program... the fuel crisis is affecting that, it's affecting everything. The image I took is of Chiran checking he has enough fuel to get Oju to school. He might as well take down the sign for his French Bakery, he is not baking, there is no one to bake for. The other images are taken from news reports throughout Nepal, queues for cooking fuel and petrol can mean lining up literally for days.
I just spoke to Bindu the Hindu on the phone, she just had a scary ride on top of a bus to get to another bus... now she keeps waiting, has been nearly two hours, for another bus so that hopefully she can get home to see her mother for the first time in months now that she has finished vet school exams.
Som GC has just messaged me with the shocking food prices that are hitting the Kathmandu Valley.
Somehow now I have to find a way to get to Asa territory to check cameras again.
Everyone is affected in some way...
