Manaslu, a mountainous region in north Gorkha District, has a fragile natural and cultural environment. In order to conserve the unique environment and extremely rich biodiversity, a protected area status "conservation area" was given to the Manaslu region. The area was neglected in terms of infrastructure development, which has directly affected the livelihood of the people. The local people have been deprived of the benefits of proper bridges and trails. Most of the 56 villages do not have safe drinking water supply or electricity. Education and health services are almost non-existent. Since no other economic opportunities are available, they have to depend on marginal agriculture, animal husbandry and exploitation of natural resources for survival. As agriculture cannot sustain their livelihood, a high dependency on natural resources is constantly straining the capacity of the ecosystem.  Tourism, due to the restricted area status of the six VDCs adjoining the Tibet Au...

Here are  world’s 17  most dangerous bridges that are meant only for walking. These are the so-called rope hanging bridges. You can find a wide variety of these bridges in countries like India, Malaysia, Philippines, New Zealand, Pakistan, Nepal, as well as in the interiors of some other countries. A bridge can prove to be dangerous for a variety of reasons; either because it’s very old, narrow, too high up above the land, over a quick river or if the wooden “floor” goes missing. What makes them dangerous is the fact that in spite of the condition of the bridge, they have to be used; as many a time, these pathways are the main or even the only way for the local inhabitants of a small village to reach a bigger city. Among all the bridges, the most popular among tourists are the hanging bridges. Let’s take a look at some of them. 1. Hussaini - Borit Lake, Pakistan 2. Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Northern Ireland 3. Aiguille du Midi at the Mont Blanc Mountain, Fra...
