Nepal real guide: getting around
|
The flowing gorges, graceful hilltop villages and the peaks of the Himalayas attract many tourists to Nepal.
But they also contribute to many of the country’s problems. The hilly and isolated districts are remote and difficult to reach, and the difficult terrain can cause problems growing crops and accessing water.
Concern’s expertise lies in targeting the poorest and most remote areas of the world. This puts it in a strong position to make a real difference in Nepal.
The struggle for access
Long and treacherous journeys to get water waste valuable time that could be spent tending crops or going to school. If crops fail, malnutrition can become a problem.
Concern and local partners are starting a range of projects constructing bridges, foot and mule tracks. This will make journeys to collect water or take crops to market quicker and safer.
