 But Lakpa's life was about to change again. At 18, she had a relationship and a baby boy. She was young, unsupported, and there weren't any doctors available for her birth. She described it to me as simply difficult. But they both survived, and together, Lakpa and her son, Nima, moved to Kathmandu. Her love for the mountains didn't fade, but Lakpa now needed to find work that could support them both and that she could do with a baby on her hip.
