Chaina Tamang

porter

Chaina Tamang is a well-known porter from Dhading, recognized for his significant role in transporting apples from Mustang to Pokhara. During the 2050s, when transportation options were limited and costly, Tamang was one of the few who undertook the arduous journey, often taking 4 to 7 days to deliver the apples. His efforts were crucial in ensuring that the apples reached the market, despite the challenges posed by spoilage and market access. Tamang would reportedly earn between 20,000 to 25,000 Nepali Rupees during the apple transport season, highlighting his importance in the local agricultural economy.
