Location: Chaunrikharka, Solukhumbu
Description: Large well built chorten along the trail to Everest just south of Lukla. The village used to be about a days walk from Namche and so was a stopping off place for Sherpas as well as porters carrying goods to the weekly market in Namche. The completion of the Lukla air strip has made it a much less vibrant village. Keywords: Nepal Photo History Project, Peace Corp Photo History, Peter Von Mertens, community, stupa/chorten
