Crossroads
By
Saad Abdullah
Project statement
In Nepal’s Lamjung District, Ghale Gaun is a Gurung village balancing ancestral traditions with tourism-driven change. Community-led homestays, introduced in the early 2000s, shifted reliance from remittances to tourism, fostering economic stability. Yet, the younger generation leaves their hometowns for Nepal’s big cities, or abroad in search of a better future, leaving the elders behind.
New roads and improved connectivity reshape the landscapes while villagers sustain organic farming and crafts. As elders await the youths’ return, Ghale Gaun reflects on global tensions between preserving cultural identity and embracing modernity, embodying resilience through evolving traditions in a changing world.
