Some dreams linger quietly in our hearts, waiting for the right
moment to come alive. For me, this documentary, The Last Guardians of
Yanjakot, is that dream. It’s more than a film; it’s a tribute to a way
of life that’s disappearing before our eyes.

Yanjakot, a small, serene village tucked in the hills of Nepal, holds
a culture so rich yet so fragile. Through this project, I hope to
preserve the stories, traditions, and memories of the elders who have
safeguarded this heritage for generations. Their voices, laughter, and
wisdom are treasures that deserve to be heard—not just today but decades
from now.

The journey to create this 70-minute documentary is long and
uncertain. Editing alone may take months, maybe even years. But I’m
determined to see it through. It’s my dream project, a labor of love,
and something deeply personal. I want to ensure these stories don’t fade
away with time.

Someday, when I’m old, I want to sit with my children, and perhaps
even my grandchildren, and show them this film. I want them to see the
roots of our shared heritage, to understand that while I didn’t come
from the Yanjakot community, this is all part of Nepal—a nation that
feels like one big village.

I’m not doing this for fame or views. To be honest, I have no
expectations that this will reach thousands of people. But that’s okay.
What matters is that I’m following my heart and creating something
meaningful that might inspire even a few people to appreciate the beauty
of life, our past, and the roots we come from.

This is my way of saying thank you to the elders, to the culture, and
to this moment in time. A small attempt to ensure that even as the
world changes, we remember where we come from and carry that with pride
and gratitude.

Thank you for being part of this journey, whether you’re watching,
sharing, or simply reading this. I hope it leaves you with a smile and a
sense of appreciation for the beauty of life, just as it has for me.
