DOLPA, NEPAL – A recent video circulating online captures the awe-inspiring sight of thousands of individuals undertaking a challenging trek across the rugged mountain slopes of Nepal's remote Dolpa District. The footage, believed to be from the 'Rup Partan' event, shows a continuous stream of people, many dressed in vibrant traditional attire, navigating a winding path etched into the vast, grassy terrain. The scale of the gathering suggests a significant annual event, likely a pilgrimage or a major community trek that draws participants from various regions. The challenging landscape, characterized by steep inclines and expansive, treeless slopes under an overcast sky, underscores the arduous nature of the journey. Despite the difficulty, participants are seen steadily making their way, highlighting the resilience and determination inherent in such large-scale collective endeavors in the Himalayas. The event offers a glimpse into the unique cultural and spiritual practices prevalent in this remote part of Nepal.
The footage predates and is unrelated to the current Iran-Israel conflict that began on 13 June 2025. Hence, the claim is False.
