Trekking to Faktanglung was far more than just a mountain hike; it was a spiritual pilgrimage for the Kirati people, an ethnic group that reveres this majestic peak as a living god. The mountain holds deep religious significance, and being there felt like entering sacred ground. Reaching those heights is not an ordinary experience-it’s as if we were standing in the presence of the death god, with every breath reminding us of the thin veil between life and death. The oxygen level drops drastically, making each step a challenge, and the weather changes unpredictably. Fog, clouds, and sudden snowfall can blanket the area at any moment. By 3 p.m., the temperature plunges below freezing, and the harsh environment only adds to the awe and respect we felt for the mountain’s power and divinity.
