'Teej on the Wall' begins to connect culture with adventure

Kathmandu, Aug 23: A week-long event entitled 'Teej On The Wall', is underway in the federal capital since Sunday. 

Two-time Everest summiteer and journalist Kalpana Maharjan takes a role of a climbing trainer in the event kicked off with the slogan of 'culture and adventure together' at local Dhumbarahi-based Pasang Lhamu Sports Climbing Center.

The event that aimed to connect the culture with adventure and thus promote the climbing sports seeks a new and innovative way to celebrate the Teej festival, according to organisers. 

It is organised by the Adventure Mountain Sports Academy and managed by Experience Outdoors Nepal. 

Maharjan was the member in the first Nepali women journalists' team who scripted the history by successfully climbing the world's tallest peak in May, 2018.  

People from different walks of life will be included for the climbing exercise each day. The event has been organised since last year on the occasion of the Teej, it is said. (RSS)
