New publication: The General Fact/Generic Factual in Yolmo and Tamang (Studies in Language)
The Yolmo evidential system includes a category for generally known facts. Things like lemons are sour or tea is sweet (in Nepal at least) are marked using the general fact evidential òŋge. The form òŋ is also the verb ‘to come’.
This evidential turns up in every dialect of Yolmo documented to date, but it doesn’t exist in any other Tibetic language, not the specific form, or the even the semantic category. There is one language with a similar category though, and that’s the variety of Tamang spoken near the Melamchi Yolmo villages. The Tamang form kha-pa covers similar evidential semantics, and is also based on the lexical verb ‘come’.
In this paper we look at these similar forms, and how the similarities between them and social history of the area indicates the Yolmo òŋge is likely a calque from the Tamang kha-pa. I’m very grateful to my colleagues Thomas Owen-Smith for working with me on this paper. Thomas was working on the documentation of this variety of Tamang while I was writing my thesis about Yolmo evidentiality. Chatting with him helped me make sense of this unique feature of Yolmo and I’m so happy we’ve turned our long conversations into a not very long paper setting out our analysis.
Abstract
This paper examines the similarity of the Yolmo ‘general fact’ evidential and the ‘generic fact’ evidential in the Tamang dialect spoken in the valley of the Indrawati Khola. Yolmo òŋge is unlike any evidential attested in other Tibetic languages, but shares features with 1kha-pa in the local dialect of Tamang. Semantically, they both are used for situations that are generally known facts. Structurally, both are copulas with evidential functions that are formed using the lexical verb ‘come’. We argue that language contact between Tamang speakers of the Indrawati Khola area and Yolmo speakers in the Melamchi Valley led to the Yolmo language calquing the Tamang form. We illustrate these copulas and their relationship because grammaticalisation of copulas from a lexical verb ‘come’ is cross-linguistically uncommon.

Helambu Trekking
Helambu Trekking: Discovering the Serene Beauty of Nepal's Himalayas
Embark on a journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Nepal's Himalayas with the Helambu Trekking adventure. Nestled in the serene beauty of the Langtang region, this trek offers a captivating experience for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. As you traverse through verdant forests, cascading waterfalls, and charming traditional villages, you'll be immersed in the rich cultural heritage of the Sherpa and Tamang communities.
Overview of the Helambu region
The Helambu region, located in the Langtang region of Nepal, is a hidden gem that offers a unique trekking experience. It is known for its lush forests, picturesque landscapes, and charming villages. The region is home to the Sherpa and Tamang communities, who have preserved their rich cultural heritage for generations. The Helambu Trek takes you through these traditional villages, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local way of life. The trek also offers stunning views of the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas, making it a paradise for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts.
The Helambu region is easily accessible from Kathmandu, making it a popular choice for trekkers who are short on time. The trek typically takes around 7-10 days to complete, depending on the chosen route and pace. The trail is relatively moderate, making it suitable for both experienced trekkers and beginners. The region is also less crowded compared to other popular trekking routes in Nepal, allowing you to enjoy the serene beauty of the Himalayas in peace.
Best time to go on the Helambu Trek
The best time to go on the Helambu Trek is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. During these months, the weather is generally clear, with mild temperatures and less rainfall. The spring season brings blooming rhododendrons and vibrant wildflowers, adding a splash of color to the already picturesque landscapes. Autumn, on the other hand, offers clear skies and stunning views of the snow-capped peaks.
It is important to note that the Helambu region can be visited during the winter and monsoon seasons as well, but these seasons come with some challenges. The winter season (December to February) brings cold temperatures and occasional snowfall, making the trek more challenging. The monsoon season (June to August) is characterized by heavy rainfall, which can make the trails slippery and difficult to navigate. However, if you are prepared for these conditions and enjoy a more adventurous experience, trekking during these seasons can still be rewarding.
Suggested Helambu Trek itinerary
The Helambu Trek typically takes around 7-10 days to complete, depending on the chosen route and pace. Here is a sample itinerary to give you an idea of what to expect:
Day 1: Kathmandu to Sundarijal to Chisapani
Day 2: Chisapani to Kutumsang
Day 3: Kutumsang to Thadepati
Day 4: Thadepati to Tarkeghyang
Day 5: Tarkeghyang to Sermathang
Day 6: Sermathang to Melamchi Bazaar to Kathmandu
Highlights of the Helambu Trek
The Helambu Trek is filled with breathtaking highlights that will leave you in awe of the natural beauty and cultural richness of the region. Here are some of the highlights you can expect:
Scenic Landscapes
The Helambu region is blessed with stunning landscapes, including lush forests, terraced fields, blooming rhododendrons, and panoramic views of snow-capped peaks. Every step of the trek offers a new vista to admire and photograph.

Lack of cross-border flood alerts adds to disaster fears in Nepal | Floods News
Two years ago, as he arrived to check a mountain trout fishing centre he owned near the Tibetan border, Gyanendra Kachhapati noticed the Melamchi river flooding, despite a clear sky.

Langtang Gosainkunda Trek
Langtang Gosainkunda Trek is both a pilgrimage holiday in Nepal and a trekking tour in Nepal. Trekkers can experience unique local cultures and traditions. Adventure enthusiasts will also find stunning Himalayan scenery set against the backdrop of massive snow-capped mountains. Info Trekking Nepal, a trusted trekking agency, has organized a scientifically designed route through the Langtang trekking region.
Combining the aesthetic essence and nature of the Himalayas in a single trekking route in Nepal. Pass through villages washed away by glacial eruptions and explore sacred lakes. The Gosainkunda Lake Trek is believed to have been created by Lord Shiva himself.
The flow of Gosainkunda Trek
The journey begins with a bus ride from Kathmandu to Shaprubesi. It is similar to the Langtang Valley Trek, perhaps the most popular short trekking route in Nepal trekking. The trekker has similar events as his trekking in Langtang Valley until he reaches Gompa and then back to Rama Hotel. The Langtang Gosainkunda Trek is an extension of a wonderful short trekking holiday in the Himalayas of Nepal. From Rama Hotel, the drive takes an uphill road toward Tullo Shapur. This village is mainly a Taman/Moktan/Lama settlement. After spending a day in the camp, trekkers reach the magnificent Gosain Kunda Lake from this location.
WHAT TO EXPLORE DURING THE GOSAINKUNDA TREKKING
This lake is believed to have been formed by Lord Shiva’s trident, who threw his weapon against the rocks to endure the pain of the poison he took to save the universe. Both Hindu and Buddhist devotee groups worship this auspicious lake. Especially during Janai Purnima, the place hosts special festivals attended by thousands of devotees. After exploring the fairytale lake, trekkers will head to the lush green forests and water resources of Melamchi. Explore lush forests and abundant wildlife before heading to Kathmandu by private bus or car.
Info Trekking Nepal always focuses on dynamic and vibrant holiday events. Langtang Valley Gosainkunda Lake Trek is the perfect testament to the ability of trip planners to exceed your expectations. We promise you great hospitality, ideal travel management and quality service during your trekking in Nepal. Choose us and find the difference yourself.
