| The
small hill village of Bhujung lies between Pokhara and Kathmandu,
one drainage west of the mighty Marsyangdi River. There, one can find
basic health and schooling facilities that serve the small village
community on the east bank. A significant rural population, however,
resides on the opposite side of the river with no access to such fundamental
services as healthcare and education. The TarPul across the Midim
Khola allows all the residents of the area easy access to essential
facilities. Presently, an estimated 40-50 crossings are made each
day at this site. |
