뜻
Walking up a steep path.
문화적 배경
In Nepal, 'Ukālo' and 'Orālo' are used to describe life's journey. There is a saying that life is not a flat road, but a series of hills. For the Sherpa people, 'ukālo' is a place of work and spirituality. Climbing is not just a job but a relationship with the mountain deities. Even in the city, 'ukālo' describes the steep alleys of old towns like Kirtipur or the rising cost of living in the capital. Folk songs (Lok Dohori) frequently use 'ukālo' as a metaphor for the distance between lovers living in different villages.
