A girl in a village in the hilly district of Okhaldhunga, she often saw her father and uncles guide foreigners on treks. When the men returned, they would bring new clothes and delicacies for their families.
Maya had heard of villagers who had forged lasting friendships with trekkers. There were stories of foreigners helping their guide’s family, sometimes even his entire village, climb out of poverty. That was how Maya saw that trekking could help improve her life.
