Earthquake. What’s more, his
      father, after being pulled from
      the ruins, stricken with emotion
      and pain at seeing their home
      turned to rubble suffered a
      nervous breakdown. The health
      system in Nepal is terribly basic
      and Gokul’s father perished
      soon after, suffering from a
      heart attack brought on by the
      stress of the realisation his
      family had nowhere to live. He
      was 44 when he died, leaving
      Gokul to support his mother.

      Presently, Gokul’s mother
      lives in a makeshift plastic and
      corrugated iron tent in terrible
      conditions.
      In between guiding travellers
      through The Himalayas, Gokul
      returns home to help plant rice
      and potatoes to support his
      mother.

      The cost to completely rebuild
      his family home is just £6,000.
