The fictional story of Kutiah Lungma Glacier

There was no glacier in the early ages when the presently covered area by glacier was inhabited by the people. The area from where the glacier is started was the center of the Stak Valley. Presently there is no population in the area rather it is used for grazing the livestock during summer. Once there was a king who had six daughters. The king had given away a valley to each of the daughters. The Stak Valley, being the biggest in the Roundu region and fertile of all, was given to Apino, the youngest and most loved one. But the locals did not treat the Apion when she was aged. She had lost her eyesight in her last days and once a person presented her a cake shaped dung pretending to be a cookie. She in return cursed on the residents and prayed to be vanished by god. She left the valley and glacier started moving downward from the foothills.Within few days the whole valley was buried under the glacier.
