Location: Between Shova and Pokhara VDCs of Rukum District across the Sani Veri Khola Paid for by: CSP Community Support Program Length: 150 meters With the generous help of the Community Support Program and a small contribution by the local VDCs, a TarPul at Tarbara was completed in June 2005. The Sani Veri is one of Nepal's major bodies of water, fed by snow melt or by the monsoon, and remains dangerous to cross throughout the year. During the monsoon, the river swells to exceptionally dangerous levels. In this location the river banks are steep and high, affording few safe construction and access sites. The first photo shows the traditional crossing, a sling hanging from a wooden yoke that slides on home-made ropes. The finished bridge is more than 50 meters above the river.
