Project details
The Himalayan Trust laid a water supply for Phortse in 1968. Phortse is a Sherpa village above the Dudh Kosi valley in the Khumbu region of Solukhumbu, home in the 1960s to some of the strongest Sherpa climbers on Sir Edmund Hillary's Makalu expeditions.
It followed the water supplies the Trust had already built at Khumjung and Khunde earlier in the decade, and came a year after Phortse got its own school in 1967.
