Despite hardships, the hardy people of Humla persevere

Humla is a remote mountain district in Nepal with an unreliable road network. This makes necessities, which come by air, much more expensive, making their lives difficult.

Located 2,818 m above sea level, this airport is the primary transportation link in the hilly terrain of Humla, where road development is in a nascent phase. In the rainy season, Humla runs the risk of becoming isolated due to frequent weather changes.  Keshav Thapa/TKP
