| West
of Kathmandu and just east of Pokhara is Lamjung District, known for
it's beautiful trekking and scenery. There, the Kamro Khola cuts deep
through the hills and across a major supply trail, creating an impossible
barrier to the efficient transport of goods during the monsoon months.
The TarPul at Pasgaun, however, means safe and reliable crossing of
this impressive gorge year round. Villagers and porters make an estimated
100 crossings at this site every day during the monsoon months. |
