POKHARA, Nepal, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- The Nepalese tourist spot Mattikhan Hill in Pokhara has been renamed Mattikhan Lumley View in honor of British actress Joanna Lumley and her father James.
Best known for her portrayal of self-destructive magazine editor Patsy on TV's "Absolutely Fabulous," the comedienne has been visiting veterans in the foothills of the Himalayas. Her father was a Gurkha officer and she is an activist who helped fight for newly won U.K. settlement rights for Gurkhas.
